The part-time yeshiva student who killed the terrorist, 40-year-old Yitzchak Dadon, said that he shot the attacker in the head with his personal weapon. David Shapira, a yeshiva student and officer in the paratroopers, heard the shots from his nearby home, ran to the yeshiva and “finished him off.”Asked by a Channel 2 TV reporter what weapon the Palestinian Authority terrorist had, Dadon said, “A Kalachnikov,” and turning to the camera, he angrily added, “The Kalachnikov that you gave him, President Peres…”
As I noted, if only “Gun Free Zone” signs had been used to protect the students, the carnage would probably still be going on.

A peace agreement can’t be force fed. The more one tries, the more violence occurs. Until all parties want to make peace, there will be no peace. This will only come about when Israel is allowed to defeat, totally, its adversaries. As Daniel Pipes calls it, “utter defeat”.

I think Glenn made the point a while back, but we’d be much better served if we had a President who said something to the effect of:
Israel is and has been a strong ally. More to the point, Israelis or Jews did not fly planes into the WTC, did not blow up Marine baracks in Lebanon, did not dance in the streets on 9/11, did not murder American diplomats, did not massacre Olympic athletes, etc. While ultimately we wish the Palestinians well, it is absurd to attempt to be “even-handed” in the face of barbarism that no other nation would ever accept. If at sometime in the future there is a real Palestinian movement that truly wants peace, rather than a short term tactical ploy that enables them to kill more Jews in the future, then we’ll be more then willing to assist. Until that time, the Palestinians, while not necessarily enemies, are certainly not friends of this country.
Is there any politician who you can see making such a statement? I don’t know if there is.
McCain might.
