So, it would appear that this extremist Israeli settler opened fire on a bus full of people and killed a few. He was to be arrested, Ariel Sharon condemned the extremist settler as a terrorist - then, out of nowhere, an Arab lynch mob formed and killed the man.

Its a shining example of the Rule of Law in Israel vs the way Arabs do things.

Israelis arrest bus 'lynch mob'
Last Updated: Tuesday, 13 June 2006, 15:24 GMT 16:24 UK

"Israeli police have arrested seven Arabs suspected of lynching a Jewish man who killed four Arabs on a bus in a northern Israeli Arab town last August.

The arrests angered Israeli Arabs who said the men had acted in self-defence to stop more killings in Shfaram.

Arab citizens make up about 20% of the Jewish-majority state of Israel and frequently complain of discrimination.

The extremist pro-settlement supporter apparently opened fire to protest at Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip.

At the time of the attack, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called the killer, Eden Nathan Zaada, a "bloodthirsty terrorist" - language usually reserved for Palestinian militants - and settler groups condemned the killings."

"The killer was beaten to death by a crowd that stormed the bus after he had been subdued, apparently trying to reload his weapon having killed three passengers and the driver and injured 20 others."

See. Its not the fact that you are Palistianian. Its the fact that you kill civilians indiscrimitely that brands you a terrorist.

Absolutely. Israel admits and condemns its terrorists, like this crazy settler. Unlike the Palestinian leadership, Hamas, Fatah, etc. which praises its terrorists as shaheeds.

There didn't seem to be anything "indiscrimitely" about this? Rather a targeted revenge-killing...

Not that it is in any way acceptable, but still...

He was talking about the Israeli terrorist who shot up the bus. I think.

That would make sense, you know. :)

Ignore my post if that is the case...
