In reply to the discussion: Passengers evacuated 'just in time' before Israel bus bomb [View all]Ace Acme
(1,464 posts)10. I didn't say that no Muslims would want to harm Israel.
I said that this particular incident harms the Palestinians and serves Israel. No Muslim who wants to effectively harm Israel would do a bus bombing in the Christmas season.
If you wish to be persuasive, try not to be so emotional.
Given the long history of bloody attacks, those who were aware of that history and charged with planning effective attacks would know that a Christmas attack would be extremely counter-productive.
