Killing innocent tourists visiting Israel is not an "act of war". It's terrorism. Barbaric terrorism moreover (parading with nude dead, maybe raped, women bodies in pick-up truck is not "war" just as executing children at point blank is not "war").

Refusing to call the killings of tourists teenagers girls (moreover several of which where non-jewish) "terrorism" shows one's true color. And it's the color of hate and anti-semitism with a slight touch of adoration for the devil (and I say that as a non-religious, non-jewish person).


What does nationality or sex, or age of a victim have to do with anything?

"Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims."

If anything, killing some unrelated foreigners is hard to map to any political aims Hamas may have had... So that's just pointless murder, perhaps.

Anyway, it's kinda pointless to throw the word terrorism around, when both sides are using violence and fear for political goals, at times, and Israel at much larger scale, usually. It brings no helpful clarity to the situation.

A horrible barbaric tragedy

Rest in peace


There was interview with him on TV. Apparently he wanted to open Mellanox branch in Gaza. They asked him if he still wants to. After small pause he replied that he still thinks that this is good idea, but in a more distant future
