And this happened while those so-called 81 US Congressmen/Congresspersons are there in Israel… “AIPACing” for Israel…for indoctrination???

Why would any Palestinian carry out an attack against Israel ... being this close to a UN vote on Palestinian statehood?

Such an attack will only help Israel & hurt the Palestinian cause !!!

Now, the Palestinian freedom-fighters, or the participants in this false-flag operation, whatever the case may be, as some posters have pointed out, have engaged the Israeli military and according to the report they were killed.

So, the real question is, “why terrorist Israel has to use its deadly weapons of mass destruction, courtesy of American tax-payers, to attack targets in poor, besieged Gaza, where most likely the people killed and the property destroyed were mostly civilian?” It’s basic knowledge that freedom-fighters or guerrillas don’t have permanent bases inside populated civilian areas, but terrorist-fascist Israel never skips an opportunity to do what it does best: to terrorize, kill, destroy and show its arrogant, chauvinist ethics. That’s why Israel was created by the colonialist powers of fucken bloody Europe, then embraced in more recent times by the American military-industrial complex and its merchants of death!

Johnny P :Can you elaborate and or clarify your last ,it is rather unclear. And I may add that this latest charade is highly Predictable.

Pray, how on Earth can this be described as “combating Israel’s violence”?

This is the same line of reasoning which leads to these newfangled “slut walks”, blaming the woman for her being assaulted.

You do realize that first 3 buses and 2 civilian cars were attacked, and then planes were launched, right? It’s kind of hard to get that when the headlines intentionally switch the order around, because the facts don’t fit their worldview.

I don’t really know anything about anything.  However, I must say on its face it strikes me as a false flag operation.  I know the Palestinians have a history of not acting in the most rational or self-beneficial way, but this just seems too much.  The big UN vote is coming up, seems like they wouldn’t choose this moment to stage such an elaborate attack.

I also find it rather suspicious that this did have the effect of quelling for the time being the growing protest movement within Israel.  What is more unifying than an attack from outsiders?

The timing and convenience of this attack for Israeli government makes it seem a little suspicious.  Of course one can never rule out Palestinian elements who don’t want peace. 

Just seems fishy.

All self inflicted. And it will all get much worse if Israel doesn’t come to its senses.

‘The bitch set me up’.

I would imagine that with the Palestine statehood vote in the UN General Assembly comming up next month they would be on their best behavior.

Is it not likely that the stateless will hit back at those who made them so? As long as Israel continues its unsupportable policies against those they evicted from the new state , as long as Israel embargoes food, medicine and other essentials hatred will flourish.

Let us remember that the ones who use violence to combat Israel’s own violence are still a minority of Palestinians. Just as Muslims who use violence against the West are an extremely small minority as well.

And Israel can expect more as long as the occupation continues and it continues closing all avenues for a settlement.

Meanwhile the social protest movement has cancelled its mass march planned for this weekend…how convenient for Netanyahu and his gang of fascist hit men.
