An Israeli boy from the Library where he was studying, shot by a Palestinian terrorist in cold blood.

Two terrorists managed to get into a Jewish school in Jerusalem and start shooting at the students there. So far, it appears that 8 were murdered, 40 injured, although Arab media is reporting 10 students murdered.

The targets weren’t soldiers. The school is not in territory that Israel gained in 1967. All of the sickening justifications that we always hear to help us “understand” rockets and suicide bombs and other attacks, that try to distinguish between “settlers” and other Israelis, between Jews and Zionists, between the left and right side of the Green line - all of those arguments forget a single, more important fact: that the terrorists themselves and their supporters do not make such fine distinctions.

It is all bullshit.

Today, they attacked Jewish boys studying. Given the opportunity, they would do this every day - in any part of Israel or the world.

And killing them first is not only moral - it is an obligation.-Elder of Ziyon

The martyrs הי”ד

# Yohai Lifshitz, 18, of Jerusalem
# Yehonatan Yitzhak Alder, 16, of Shilo
# Yehonadav Haim Hirshfeld, 19, of Kochav Hashahar
# Neria Cohen, 15, of Jerusalem
# Roy Rot, 18, of Elkana
# Segev Peniel Avihail, 15, of Neveh Daniel
# Avraham David Mozes, 16, of Efrat
# Doron Mahareta, 26, of Ashdod

Notice their ages.

Elder of Ziyon has a roundup of the Arab press on this…-in part:

The IMEMC “news” called the victims “settlers” and said that the attack occurred in “East Jerusalem” (it happened to be in the western part of the town.)

Ramattan News (Arabic) calls the students “soldiers.”

Hamas “mainstream”:

“This heroic attack in Jerusalem is a normal response to the crimes of the occupier and its murder of civilians,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.

Hamas “military wing”:

In a statement sent to Ma’an they said “the operation is a natural reaction to the immensity of the barbaric Zionist Nazi crimes which have targeted women, children, mosques and houses. It’s also a reaction to the Zionist enemy’s holocaust in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.”

“The blessed attack will not be the last response to the massacres by the occupation,” the statement added.

Islamic Jihad:

“It’s the responsibility of those who killed 130 Palestinians in Gaza,” said Abu Ahmad, an Islamic Jihad spokesman. “We congratulate those responsible for this heroic operation.”

It sure was heroic of them to burst in on young men studying Torah in the library of a school, wasn’t it?
