16. The bus in Israel is the reason for the deaths in Gaza.

The Palestinians, all of them, need to stop teasing Israelis into using violence. Israel has sworn never, never to allow a Jewish Holocaust again. The Palestinians go after Israelis in these stealth attacks that are rather isolated but on Israeli soil or property. This is precisely why I have so little sympathy for the Palestinians. They use terror as a technique to incite a reaction from Israelis and then sit back and laugh when so many people around the world blame the violence on the Israelis.

Many a younger, small child has used this technique on an older, bigger, more mature sibling.

The Palestinians need to grow up. We just don't resort to that kind of behavior when we are adults. We sit down and attempt to rationally resolve our differences.

Don't fall for this childish behavior on the part of Palestinians. It is a way to avoid growing up and taking responsibility for working with all, not just some, of their neighbors.

The Palestinians have been doing this for years. They are like fleas on the back of the horse. They just like to watch the Israeli tail switch, and they don't care how many of their children die in the making of the spectacle.
