Re: And there's no end in sight



Chaos in the Middle East has been going on for much longer than just yesterday. As good librarians, the first thing we do when we provide information to our patrons is ask questions about the source---is it bias?  is it taken out of context? is information withheld? etc.

In this situation, we should ask ourselves, what causes terrorism? When we have an answer, perhaps we can BEGIN to solve our problems. Would any of us be happy if an Israeli soldier came to our home, killed our families, took our land,  and then declared their own nation? The day terrorism will stop is the day Arab and Jew can live together as one.  The propaganda only makes matters worse (on both sides and for all nations supporting warfare).

(20:15) Terrorists kill Israeli woman in drive-by shootingThe Jerusalem Post Internet Edition A 46-year-old Israeli woman from Alfei Menashe in Samaria, critically wounded by Palestinian terrorists in a drive-by shooting less than an hour ago, has died of her wounds. She was traveling with her husband south of Kalkilya in Samaria, close to the Green Line, when terrorists sprayed their car with bullets, wounding her in the head and stomach. Her husband was unharmed. Medics at the scene attempted to stabilize her condition and rushed her to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, where she was pronounced dead. Security forces have arrived at the scene and are combing the area, Army Radio reported.
