Two Israelis Die in Separate Stabbings by Palestinians

Source: NY times

JERUSALEM — An Israeli woman and an Israeli soldier were killed on Monday in separate stabbing attacks...

Both attacks were carried out by Palestinian men, one in the occupied West Bank and the other in the bustling commercial center of Tel Aviv.

...a man got out of a vehicle in a busy traffic circle there during the afternoon rush hour and knifed the woman and two other Jews.

Sgt. Almog Shiloni, 20 — was stabbed several times; the sergeant died of his wounds at a hospital Monday night. The police arrested an 18-year-old man from a refugee camp outside the West Bank city of Nablus.

They are upset over the death of an innocent Israeli who did nothing but wait for a bus.

Innocents die on all sides. Does anyone care?

Not from what I've seen.

Before everybody has a hissy: I fucking care. I'm sick of this shit.

It's called "blowback".

What a sorry lot mankind is.

But still waiting with baited breath for your condemnation of drone attacks targeting civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Pakistan.
Am i right to conclude they are the wrong colour?

No innocent Palestinians have been killed in this debacle. Really?

I say let the fucking leaders of the governments fight it out toe to toe in an open arena.

I'd pay to see that.

You gave me a laugh. Thank you for that.

If that comment was said about one group there would be those here to cheer me on.
If it was said about the other group, I would have an ever larger cheering section.

I don't consider it bigoted, I am just playing to the cheap seats here on DU.
