re: #172 ProGunLiberal

How many civilians ended up dead there, exactly?

I would guess a substantial number.

How many civilians ended up dead at:

Sbarro’s pizza parlor
Moment Cafe
Dolphinarium club
#135 bus Jerusalem
Park Hotel Passover seder
Ben Yehuda mall
Beit Yisrael yeshiva
Patt Junction bus stop
Megiddo station bus stop
Tel Aviv Central bus station
Maxim Restaurant
#2 bus Jerusalem

About the #2 bus:

On August 19, 2003 (22 Av 5763), a Hamas suicide bomber sent out by the organization’s Hebron cell disguised himself as a Haredi Jew and detonated himself on a No. 2 Egged bus traveling through Jerusalem’s Shmuel HaNavi neighborhood. He blew himself up after entering the back door.[2]The double-length bus was crowded with Orthodox Jewish children returning from a visit to the Western Wall. The huge explosion killed 7 children and 16 adults, among them an eight-months-pregnant woman, and injured more than 130 people. The bomb was spiked with ball-bearings designed to increase injuries on the crowded bus. Hamas said the bomber was a 29-year-old mosque preacher from the city of Hebron.

Because so many of the dead were young children,[3] the media dubbed it the “children’s bus.” According to an Associated Press report,

Strollers were scattered near the stricken bus, medics carried away children with blood-smeared faces and a baby girl died in a hospital before doctors could find her parents. At least five children were among the 18 dead in Tuesday’s suicide bombing by a Palestinian militant who blew himself up on a Jerusalem bus. Forty children were among more than 100 people injured. The attack was the 100th Palestinian suicide bombing against Israelis since the latest round of fighting began in September 2000. The youth of the victims stands out in that grim list, and the government said the choice of target was particularly cold-blooded.[4]

Should all Palestinians be held accountable for that forever and ever?
