I actually know a girl who was killed in that.
The guys who did it were both idiots and absolute shits.
But we didn't invade Bradfield and blow it up afterwards in retaliation.

then you will know how palestinians are living, and realise that this video isn't funny.

Fuck off.....
I feel bad for your family but, fuck off.
The best thing for us to do (see the Northern Irish bloke below) is be pro Israel AND pro Palestinian AND pro peace.
Kindly shove this video up your arse and go and find a Palestinian and make a point of shaking his hand rather than making it worse.

so I know how killing can lead to doubt and fear within a community. I also know how that leads to suspicion, division and revenge.
In order to properly stop a conflict, someone has to grow up. It isn't enough to say "well they did.." to justify what you will do next. That's what feeds the cylce of violence, because they'll retaliate on your retaliation, which you'll retaliate on, and they'll.....
To stop the conflict requires an unnerving amount of self awareness and self sacrifice. It requires taking responsibility for your own actions. It requires talking with your enemies, and perhaps changing that in yourself which makes them an enemy. You also have to forgive people, and ultimately, work with, and support them.
Unfortunately, in my experience, there is no other way to do it. And no other way of engaging a conflict offers the high ground.
There simply is no justification for killing people. Sorry.

I'm not saying there is. I have some good friends who are Palestinians.
