By this insane act of terrorism 93 innocent people have been killed or are missing in the ruins. The latest figures of casualties are 41 dead (NOTE: became 91), 52 missing and 53 injured.
It is so very easy to claim that only the Palestinians use such methods.

You may find it harsh and I'm sure will be outraged, though I cannot see how the British Prime Minister can attend a celebration of the State of Israel when we forced out by terrorism, whilst the future of Israel and Palestine is far from consolidated- and would be better for him to stay away and show the Palestinians he has no bias towards them.
