I watched Frontline last night as they showed the other side of terrorism in Israel. It was most disturbing, as it showed the mindset of some Jewish settlers. It was all about revenge and they were quick to point out that Bible speaks more to revenge than it does to peace. The settlers wrapped themselves in their own version of religion, just as terrorists everywhere are so quick to do.
"In 2002, Israeli police thwarted a plot hatched by extremist settlers to detonate a bomb at a Palestinian girls' school in East Jerusalem, timed to explode at 7:30 a.m. to kill the most children. While the three men initially arrested are now serving prison sentences, others whom authorities believe were involved in the plot were acquitted for lack of evidence."
This segment was the most chilling to watch as it was only the simplest mistake by the terrorist group that prevented the killings and led to their arrest.
