"The Israeli press has reported that three of the five people killed in the bomb attack in Tel Aviv on Friday were members of an elite Israeli army unit serving in the West Bank.
The Jerusalem Post reported the elite unit was invited to celebrate a party for one of its soldiers, and stood at the entrance to the stage club when the bomber detonated the explosive device he was carrying.
~snip~
Earlier, the platoon commander, Eran Cohen, told Army Radio (Gali Tzahal) that virtually all the casualties of the bombing were members of his unit.
"There were 13 of us there. All the fatalities are from our unit. Many more were wounded." Eran called the unit's soldiers "the best of the best, Israel's elite"."

i hadnt heard that about the attack yet.
pretty strange co-incidence,in the the article he says the unit hasnt had a fatality in 5 years of operating in the occupied territories

4. That is disgusting...that you justify murder

There is no justification for continued murder on either side, and there's something seriously wrong with the way you think and your capacity for empathy if you condone these kind of actions.

5. Thats the attitude that causes this thing to drag on

A never ending cycle of revenge killing doesn't help anyone.
