1. This is the difference between Israeli society and Palestinian society...
In Palestinian controlled areas they name streets after those who commit "martyrdom operations" and kill Israelis. The suicide bomber and terrorist is praised. In Israel the condemnation for murder comes from across the political spectrum. The Prime Minister refers to the victims as "innocent Palestinians", which is what they are.

No, I don't blame the Palestinian people as a whole, just their leadership.

My condolences to the families of the victims in this horrible attack. I hope the Israeli courts lock this guy up for the rest of his life and throw away the key.

(Side note: Israel, a civilized country, does not have the death penalty except for one crime: genocide. We still execute teenagers and mentally handicapped people in the U.S.)
