It is reported that at least seven people have been killed and another 20 wounded in an attack on an Israeli bus near a Jewish settlement in the West Bank. Ambulance workers said Palestinian gunmen set off a roadside bomb alongside the bus - which was travelling from Tel Aviv - at the entrance to the settlement. It is reported they then opened fire on the bus and other passing vehicles.

Yes, its wrong for Palestinians to attack civilian targets but they are only copying what the "IDF" do.

Resistance

I derive no pleasure from the death of any human being but the "settlers" on the West Bank and Gaza cannot be described as "civilians", they are heavily armed and are among the most exreme and racist elements of Israeli society. The resistance of the Palestinian people to the occupation of their land should not surprise anyone.
