My Way News - Gunman Kills 8 at Jerusalem Seminary
AP reports: "A gunman entered the library of a rabbinical seminary and opened fire on a crowded nighttime study session Thursday, killing eight people and wounding nine before he was slain, police and rescue workers said. It was the first major militant attack in Jerusalem in more than four years. Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip praised the operation in a statement, and thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza to celebrate."

Comment: Is there a moral difference or equivalence between Israeli targeted assassinations of military leaders and Palestinian attacks on civilians? Should the world take note of this distinction? Given that both sides in the "peace process" want Jerusalem, we could hope that terrorist attacks in Jerusalem should cross a red line, even for Rice. Diplomacy, at least in the Middle East, however, operates in another reality. Note that diplomatic statements were immediately released saying that peace negotiations would continue in spite of this latest atrocity. We should ask of the Israeli government: How many of your people must be killed by your peace partners before you realize they are not interested in peace?
