Suicide bomber kills 7 in Jerusalem

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- A suicide bomber has killed at least seven passengers on a crowded bus in Jerusalem at the height of rush hour, according to police in the city and Israeli ambulance services.


Most likely an exaggeration. Probably only like 1.5 died, not 7.

Right Torch.

Yeah...but I am sure the Jews will use this incident as further evidence that they need to finish construction of the Wall.

This is such a tit-for-tat game there..we invade Gaza, the Golan Heights and kill Palestinians...Palestinians blow up buses and public places in Israel...

Not even the Great Wall would provide additional security...

What I found interesting was..

From the 60's-80's..the ration of Palestinians to Israelis killed was 8:1...now, it is like 3:1..

I wonder what Israel attributes to the deterioration of their prowess??

Indu, I would be interested to hear your theories.


I was not aware of that specific statistic. It is very interesting. I guess my question, like yours, is: Is it telling?

I, doing no research, would intially contribute it to outside preassures. There certainly has been more awareness of the human rights violations in that conflict.

I guess you could also just attribute it to the efficiency and success rates of the palestinians.
