Default Bulldozer Rampage hits Jerusalem

Quote:
A Palestinian has driven a bulldozer into a bus and several cars in Jerusalem, killing four people before being shot dead, Israeli police say.

Dozens of people were hurt, at least seven critically, in the incident on Jaffa Road, in the city centre.

The BBC's Tim Franks, who witnessed the incident, said a police officer shot the driver dead after a struggle in the vehicle's cab.

"We can clearly say this is a terrorist incident," a police spokesman said.

This is a real shame, and evidence of the disastrous nature of the situation that has been allowed to continue.

To the four killed: R.I.P.

How hypocritical to call for the condemnation of an individual who just flipped, some media calling the bulldozer driver a "terrorist", yet no condemnation is called for official Israeli policy of bulldozing Palestinian homes even when people are inside them. The Israelis kill people with their bulldozers all the time, yet no international outrage is directed at them.

Why? Remember Rachel Corrie? Little reaction except from Amnesty International, Human Rights watch, and Yasser Arafat.

Is it right that when Israeli Jews are killed, that world leaders are outraged, but when Palestinian Muslims and Christians are killed, there is nothing said? Even when a non Jewish American like Rachel Corrie is killed, there is barely a murmur. Where is the justice?

There is none, and that's the real tragedy because every moment the situation remains the same, and is reported in such a biased way the more i understand the actions of the extremists and terrorists even if i do condem them soundly.

Too bad that the officer wasn't a bit quicker in taking out the terrorist.
