Journal Zachary Kessin's Journal: Jerusalem Journal: Bomb in Haifa 4
Another day another bomb in Israel. After Shabbat ended and I logged onto my computer I saw the news, 20 dead in a resturant in Haifa. It may be more, who knows. The great Irony is that the resturant was owned by Arabs, who were probably decent folks just trying to make a living. But Hamas and the other murderers don't care, they just want to kill and to maim and to inspire fear. 3 of the dead may be children.
In Gaza they are probably dancing in the streat now. Dead Jews is a cause for celibration there, ofcourse they danced on 9/11 too, dead Americans are almost as good.
The war on terror is not a war like World War II, Like WWII it is a battle of good and evil, and like WWII only one side will still be standing when it is over. The West or radical Islam only one will walk out of this one alive. Unlike World War 2 this is not a stand up battle of armies.
Twice before Islam has tried to take over Europe, in 711 the armies of Islam crossed into spain and quickly took control, and were only prevented from the conquest of Europe by the army of Charles Martel who defeated them at the battle of Pointers in 732 ce. In the 16th century the Ottoman empire was at the doors of Viena when they were stopped.
This time they are trying to do it differently. Muslims are already the largest minority in many parts of Europe. Many of them are young, disafected and radical. How long until they start trying to elect an Islamist goverment in Holland or France? Or until some form of Islamist revolt breaks out into open warfare on the streats of Paris or Amsterdam?
More later, I am off to brave Jerusalem's busses for a date.

Except ...
kill the terrorists.
And comfort the victims.
If Israel's leadership would do more of the former, there would be less need for the latter.
Will there really be a "harsh response" [jpost.com] this time?

You have no fucking idea what is going on down there. The palestinian people is using the last weapon they've got, their life, to fight for their independence. Did you know that Palestine has valid contracts with Great Britain signed by Winston Churchill saying that the place where now Israel is belongs to the palestinian people? These contracts were made a long time before Israel was established.

Did you know that there is not and has never been a state called "Palestine" with which to engage in contracts?
Palestine (throughout most of the history of that word's use) is a term that generally refers to the homeland of the Jews -- the biblical Promised Land (promised eternally to the Jews by God), which is all of the land from the Nile river in the east in current Egypt, through current Israel, Lebanon, most of Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen,
