Jewish settler guns down three Palestinians near Shilo

[eyl]

Three weeks after Eden Natan Zada murdered four Israeli Arabs traveling on an Egged bus in Shfaram, another Jewish terrorist shot dead three Palestinians and wounded two others, one seriously, near the Industrial Zone at the West Bank settlement of Shilo.

The suspected shooter was identified as Asher Weisgan from the West Bank settlement of Shvut Rahel. Initial findings suggested that he was not known to possess a radical ideology, security officials said.

Some of his friends, however, said he had appeared to be in a state of depression in recent days, probably because of disengagement.

According to reports, the man, who worked as a driver for Palestinian industrial zone workers, opened fire on his own passengers.

He had apparently stolen a weapon from a security guard that was working at the site.

The shooting suspect was apprehended and was in custody of security forces at the scene.

3. Netanyahu didn't help any but we won't hear about that

until he runs for PM. And we won't hear it here unless we go to www.Haaretz.com

Blessed are the peacemakers. Benjamin isn't one of them.

4. I sure hope that Hamas will not retaliate. But I am reminded that

Hamas did not exist before the occupation. It's the occupation, stupid!! That should be clear to most observers.

5. Hamas didn't exist

in it's present form until the late eighties - well after 1967 (though IIRC, it's an offshoot of the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood, which dates all the way back to 1928). OTOH, the PLO's (and its constituent groups') existence predates the Six Days War.

6. Fact remains. Hamas didn't exist BEFORE the occupation.

I'm staying focused on the fact. No diversion necessary.

"A West Bank settler who shot to death four Palestinians in the West Bank settlement of Shiloh said Thursday he had no regrets and hopes someone kills Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Asher Weissgan, a 38-year-old resident of the West Bank settlement Shvut Rahel, on Wednesday shot to death four Palestinians with whom he worked and wounded two others, one of them seriously. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon condemned the attack as an "exceptionally grave Jewish act of terror," Israel Radio reported, and instructed the security establishment to deal harshly with all attempts to harm innocent people.

"I'm not sorry for what I did," said Weissgan before entering a remand hearing at the Petah Tikvah Magistrate's Court. "I hope someone also kills Sharon."

"Residents of Shiloh and neighboring Shvut Rahel condemned the murder. "This is a grotesque act. We want good neighborly relations," said Amihai Braverman, head of the Shilo council.

Senior IDF officers said this condemnation was insufficient and that they expected the settlers' rabbis to make a strong statement. The officers said they had spoken to the rabbi of Shvut Rahel, Ben-Zion Amar, but that he had not yet issued a condemnation. "It is time for the settler leadership to assume responsibility. This is the second time in two weeks that a settler from the area has murdered innocent people," the officers said."
