Title: Two animals open fire in Tel-Aviv restaurant, killing four

I guess this is a "dog bites man" story, so not reported anymore.

How does an article in the most famous newspaper in the world count as "not reported anymore"?

Obvious troll is a dull troll. Talk to your homies, Jaron and Fireblade and pick up some good material.

Humans presumably.

When you consider your enemies subhumans, you've made another big step towards being a fully-fledged fascist, Marty. Congratulations.

I'll wait for Capetan's take on this. If he supports Mart's view maybe it's correct.

We are starting to win the war against terrorism by not freaking out about every minor incident.

People who open fire in a restaurant full of civilians are subhumans. If that makes me a fascist, then sure I'm a fascist I guess.

Four people died. That's not a minor incident.

A gorilla being shot at a zoo is a minor incident. Someone using ((())) meme on reddit is a minor incident. Donald Trump saying that a judge is of Mexican heritage so he will not judge him justly is a minor incident. Four human beings being murdered ain't.

You must wring your hand a lot.  People are murdered all the time.

1.3 million people a year are killed in road traffic accidents. Of course, as that old cynic Stalin would say, that is merely a statistic.

There are terrible individual tragedies behind any death; but if we truly felt misery from them then their sheer number would make life unbearable.

Not many people are killed by terrorism. I expect the security services to try and prevent terrorism but have never felt an iota of fear over terrorism, even when I heard the bombs going off in London back in the 1970s...............and I am not a brave man.

Thank Binkie that you at least recognize the truth about yourself.  Yes, it is Nazi who talk about "subhumans."  Nazis are fascist.  The irony that your fellow-Nazis consider you subhuman is lost on no one there, not even CC.

I would think sending in terrorists to take out your ethnic enemies would resonate with an Eastern European. But I guess that is more of a Southeastern European thing.

I wonder if the Israelis and Palestinians will ever tire of it all.

Yeah, I think what's getting lost in all this is the fact that the victims are Jews.  I mean, they've never exactly been Marti's cup of matzoh soup, you know.

Thanks for turning to me, Brian. :)  Anyways, you don't have to worry about Martinus having a correct view on this, or nearly any other, situation.

Israel should take a page from Cincinnati's playbook and shoot their gorillas before this kind of thing happens again at the hands of al-Harambe.
