Photo by: Tomer Appelbaum The attack on Wednesday occurred at Rimonim Junction, near the Israeli settlement of Kochav Hashachar and east of the West Bank city of Ramallah. Around 11 p.m., there were reports of a shooting in the Rimonim Junction area, and a car was found overturned after police and emergency crews conducted sweeps of the area. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said Palestinian gunmen ambushed the Israeli car, which was riddled with bullets, he said. Preliminary reports said the attack was a drive-by shooting, executed in a similar fashion to Tuesday's attack. IDF troops are continuing to scour the area for the assailants. Hamas claimed responsibility for Tuesday's shooting and vowed more attacks would come. The victims are a couple, both in their 30s. The man is listed in serious condition, while the woman was lightly wounded in the attack. An Israeli woman was killed near the same junction in 2002 when a terrorist shot at her car as she drove on a nearby road. The attack on Wednesday was the second shooting in as many days against Israelis in the West Bank, and comes on the eve of the start of direct Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in Washington on Thursday. U.S. President Obama, meanwhile, earlier Wednesday described the fatal shooting one day earlier as a senseless slaughter that will not stop the U.S. from seeking peace in the Middle East. "There are going to be extremists and rejectionists who, rather than seeking peace, are going to be seeking destruction, and the tragedy that we saw yesterday, where people were gunned down on the street by terrorists who are purposely trying to undermine these talks, is an example of what we're up against," Obama said. Netanyahu applauded Obama's condemnation of Tuesday's killing, and said such attacks are carried out by people "who do not respect human life and who trample human rights into the dust and butcher everything they oppose." Israeli settlers in the West Bank also on Wednesday said they would break a government freeze on construction in their communities to protest the Palestinian shooting attack on the eve of new peace talks.[/release] These two attacks were more than likely conducted by the same group, as Hamas who has claimed responsibility for yesterday's attack claimed more attacks will follow. What they don't understand is that these are relatively small-scale and there's no way that they'll cause any sort of problem or hindrance to tomorrow's scheduled peace talks.

Even if the Palestinian leaders except peace, it's up to the people to keep it.
Hamas is the biggest asshole on the planet.
Although I disagree with Israel's zionism, I can understand their caution towards Palestine.
[QUOTE=Intel Inside;24525677]Yes it will. Even if the Palestinian leaders except peace, it's up to the people to keep it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I meant that it won't hinder a peace deal if one can be achieved at all. After a peace deal will be achieved, then hopefully the people will understand too (the people of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip is a different matter, any peace deal with the PA won't include Gaza, unfortunately).
FPers won't care if Israelis die.
[QUOTE=Vasili;24526277]FPers won't care if Israelis die.[/QUOTE] baseless claim
[QUOTE=JDK721;24526291]baseless claim[/QUOTE] Is that persecution complex I smell?
[QUOTE=BurnEmDown;24527749]Is that persecution complex I smell?[/QUOTE] Only republicans have that silly.

It is a baseless claim tho.
NEWSFLASH: The sun is going to set tonight and rise again tomorrow morning!
In a few days Israel will probably retaliate by bombing a Palestinian orphanage or something.

Wow Neolk, how did you ever find those?
[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;24528840]Wow Neolk, how did you ever find those?[/QUOTE] JDK makes it a habit of saying it every four minutes right after he is done shouting "PERSECUTION COMPLEX".
[QUOTE=Neolk;24528798]You realize the irony right?[/QUOTE] because those posts aren't a joke at all, and I'm obviously being serious [editline]07:45PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Neolk;24528856]JDK makes it a habit of saying it every four minutes right after he is done shouting "PERSECUTION COMPLEX".[/QUOTE] saying it a few times out of 15,000+ posts =/= every four minutes [editline]07:45PM[/editline] also, you don't know what irony is
[QUOTE=JDK721;24528902]because those posts aren't a joke at all, and I'm obviously being serious[/QUOTE] Whats the joke? Cause it sure aint funny. Asserting "Death to Israel" gets a lot more slack than if BurnEmDown posted "Death to Palestine". Go ahead, say "baseless claim" or "persecution complex", but its just fucking true.

And if you didn't feel persecuted why did you have to respond so quickly to Vasili's thoughts about the whole of FP? [editline]03:46AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Neolk;24529003]Whats the joke?

burnemdown, why do you only post in threads about jews and israel
[QUOTE=Archy;24537784]burnemdown, why do you only post in threads about jews and israel[/QUOTE] I don't only post in threads about Jews and Israel.
[QUOTE=Archy;24537784]burnemdown, why do you only post in threads about jews and israel[/QUOTE] duh, because he is an israeli jew.
Funny, where have starpluck gone to?
[QUOTE=Neolk;24525698]Hamas is the biggest asshole on the planet.[/QUOTE] Israel is. Doesnt mean that I welcome the killing of innocent people but somebody has to show these subhumans what they are doing.
