Current Events » in reply to Suicide bombers again in Israel

I had begun a long winded resigned ran to reply when I read

<This; some excerpts.......

One hundred wounded in Tel Aviv yesterday. It made me reconsider Stalin’s Rule: one death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic. Even the smaller numbers are hard to imagine, really .
**************************
When the news tells me that 20 are dead, and they add “including the bombers,” I want to throw a coffee cup through the TV screen. The proper way to say it is “Eighteen murdered by two suicide bombers.” Keep the victims and the killers on opposite ends of the sentence, please.
***************************
But before I didn’t care what happened to the people in the organizations that arrange these attacks. Now I don’t care about what happens to the culture that permits it. Approves of it. Defends it, sanctions it, shelters it, sings it praises, names streets after the men who do it. I’m done. I don’t want to hear the word “but” in any sentence uttered by a PLO / Fatah / Al Aqsa / Hamaz / Hezbollah apologist. I don’t want to hear the phrase “cycle of violence” used outside the context of a gang fight at the Tour De France.

Read the column, he captures my feelings exactly

He put it much better than I ever could.
At one time I actually had some sympathy for the Palastinians.
That was burned out of me over time by repeated sensless attacks on Civilians.
There is no Military value in this stupididty. It is simply murder in ever increasing intensity.
