Is he dead or not?
is he dead yet?
Someone in my Spanish class said they were going to be waiting 72 hours before they say officially whether he's dead or not...is this true?
Ja ne!
Ja ne!
Es posible.
May God bless his soul...
May someone with some sense take his place, so that there may be, at last, a lasting Peace between Israel and Palestine.

If Yitzak Rabin was alive today and still being the Israeli prime minister, the situation in the Middle East wouldn't be in the mess it is right now.
In all fairness... Rabin is the one who should be alive, and not Sharon.
While I don't support the murder of Rabin, and I never will, if he was still alive Israel wouldn't exist. He dedicated his life to Israel, but going to Oslo was his biggest mistake ever.
It nearly got Israel into a civil war, a war which would collapse the state totally. The election of Netanyahu instead of Peres (who was considered Rabin's closest friend) after the murder proves Rabin's actions were not supported by the majority of the public - just like Sharon's actions today aren't supported by the majority of the public.
Democracy is not about 'doing the right thing', it's about doing what the people want. And if the people don't want to give certain parts of the land for a fake peace it's their right to do so. The leaders must not rely on a fake majority in the parlament, which is a result of political corruptness, to justify their actions. The Palestinians have not fulfilled their commitments which they signed on in Oslo, and that's why that act is considered such a disaster.
I do not agree with Mr. Jingles, but his post was intelligent and respectful (in a way).
But Josue... I have no idea why you think you have the right to call anyone a Nazi (and calling a Jew a Nazi makes me wonder).
Anyway, my point is I think neither of you know Israel that much to know that the right side of our political map is the more extremist. That's why the murder happened, btw, and that's why I'm sure if the Oslo agreements had been pushed forward the situation would've gotten worse.

The killing is still going on even though he is not in Palestine !
Makes me wonder who is exactly responsible for holding back the peace ?

Five Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in central Gaza, Palestinian security sources say.
The latest deaths were of two Palestinian children who were killed by an Israeli tank shell in the central Gaza Strip early on Friday, Palestinian hospital and security sources told reporters.
The sources said seven-year-old Ahmad al-Smari and his cousin, Muhammad al-Smari, 8, were killed when an Israeli tank shell slammed into their house near the southern city of Khan Yunis, shredding their bodies.
The children's deaths bring the number of people killed since the beginning of the Palestinian intifada, or uprising, in September 2000 to 4556, including 3522 Palestinians and 960 Israelis.
Late on Thursday, three other Palestinians were killed near the al-Burij refugee camp by Israeli tank fire, Palestinain security sources said. There were no further details and their identities were not immediately known.
So what if he's not there? Does it mean his followers aren't there?
For every Palestinian child killed I can give you an example of a Jewish child killed. But that won't justify anything, will it?
And besides, why don't you rely on Israeli sources as well?

The whole 3522:960 ratio might make that somewhat difficult.

simply because I'm not jewish and I don't rely on thier news sources at all.

No it won't, but please do.

You'll be suprised. The reason we have less dead is because we catch most of the terrorists before they blow themselves up. We didn't succeed this week, for example, after a homicide bomber blew himself in the middle of a market (called 'Shuk HaCarmel' in Hebrew).
Mala-Kot, if you want examples, here are a few:
- Shalhevet Pas, a 10 years old baby, was murdered by a Palestinian sniper in Hebron on March 2001.
- 21 teenagers were murdered and 120 were wounded after a homicide bomber blew himself up in a disco in Tel-Aviv on June 1st 2001. The Tanzim claimed responsibility.
- 15 people (7 of them children) were murdered and 130 were wounded after a homicide bomber blew himself up in a Sbarro Pizzeria in Jerusalem on August 9th 2001. The Hamas and the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.
- 10 people (3 of them children) were murdered after a homicide bomber blew hismelf up on a bus in Jerusalem on November 21st 2001. The Hamas and the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility.
- 14 people (4 them of children) were murdered and 31 were wounded after a homicide bomber blew himself up in a restaurant in Haifa on March 31st 2002.
- 4 people (a mother, her 2 children and a neighbour) were murdered after a terrorist broke into their houses in a Kibbutz and shot them with cold blood on November 2002. The mother begged for her children's life but the terrorist murdered them all.
I'd like to quote the Israeli poet Bialik, who wrote a poem called "The Slaughter" ("Al HaShchita" in Hebrew), after witnessing the horrors of the Kishinev Pogrom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kishinev_pogrom):
"Damned he who says: revenge!
This revenge, the revenge of a little boy,
The devil has yet to create"
What Bialik means is nothing can make up or justify the death of a child, and that, I believe, is true for both the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Boo-fucking-hoo.
