Don't know, but I think the next one may be free.

Ha'aretz says no fatalities but a number of injuries:

Now, I predict anti-Zionists will blame Israel. That goes without saying. I predict that they will say, "Aha! There's no need for the wall if it doesn't stop all bombings!" and of course, "Now maybe Israel will change its policy from existing to...er... not existing." etc... etc...

On the other hand I could be charitable and say that there'll be plenty of condemnations of the bombing rolling in from anti-Zionists in 3...2...1...

Sickening.

Garbage like that leads to this:

Bomb has gone off in Jerusalem.

Maybe the bus terminal?

Are you serious?

I predict that they will say, "Aha! There's no need for the wall if it doesn't stop all bombings!" and of course, "Now maybe Israel will change its policy from existing to...er... not existing." etc... etc..

very silly and laughable strawman.

very silly and laughable strawman.

What is? I admit I was going out on a limb a bit but you've told me now that the other one really was serious.

what good is a billion dollar security wall, if it doesn't stop suicide bombers?

You are serious!

Jesus!

What good are shelters for battered women if they don't stop all rapes?

 

[IDB87]

what good is a billion dollar security wall, if it doesn't stop suicide bombers?

There is nothing that indicates the work of a suicide bomber.

 

[Thunder]

What good are shelters for battered women if they don't stop all rapes?

Skeptic is actually insinuating that shelters for battered women are actually meant to be preventative.

 

[Thunder]

You are serious!

Jesus!

huh.

 

[mortimer]

Skeptic is actually insinuating that shelters for battered women are actually meant to be preventative.

Are you insinuating they are not?

 

[IDB87]

Why are talking about suicide bombers? Does someone know something I don't?

 

[angrysoba]

Skeptic is actually insinuating that shelters for battered women are actually meant to be preventative.

Are you suggesting they are curative?



Did you know that not all bulletproof vests have stopped all bullets fired at them? This means that bulletproof vests are useless. In your world.

Anyway, instead of gleeful jeering at a bomb going off and re-defining the cliched anti-Zionist don't you think it's worth pointing out, even for appearance's sake, that bombs on buses are bad?

No?

The point is that Thunder in his gleeful opportunistic rapture hasn't bothered to check.

The blast could be heard throughout Jerusalem and blew out the windows of two crowded buses, No. 74 and No. 14. The explosive device was apparently hidden in a bag next to a telephone pole.

However, I did say that I was expecting an anti-Zionist to come along very shortly and declare the wall useless and Thunder didn't disappoint.

 

[IDB87]

No surprise there.

Any evidence that this device was planted by Arabs?

 

[Thunder]

Anyway, instead of gleeful jeering at a bomb going off and re-defining the cliched anti-Zionist...

please don't lie about my statements. its not very nice.

 

[Skeptic]

If anybody else said "Arab suicide bomber did it" without any hard evidence, he'd be accused of Islamophobia. I guess the rules are only for other people.
