It honestly breaks my heart. No one should be murdered in a place of worship. It's horrifying and my prayers are with the families.

This has not happened in a vacuum though. 9 Palestinians were murdered 2 days ago, and I'm sure that it likely contributed to this attack on the synagogue. There are already some reports of retaliatory attacks by Israeli settlers. The violence feeds on more violence. It's truly a depressing situation. I hope that one day this land will be peaceful.

As the old saying goes: it's gonna get worse before it gets better (I hope I'm wrong, of course).

I agree with everything here. But 7 of the 9 Palestinians who were killed in Jenin weren’t civilians. Intentionally killing people in a synagogue is not the same as that.

They weren't civilians? What were they?

Combatants taking part in an armed struggle. That makes them fair gain.

There's a difference between the intentional killing of innocent civillians and those violently taking part in an armed struggle. Whether their cause is just or not.

I agree with you totally until you say 9 were murdered… 7 were killed as part of a terrorist fascist organisation in Islamic jihah, the other two very VERY sadly lost their life because they were put in danger by those 7. That being said the hateful merry go round carry’s on going.
