Bomb explodes in Jerusalem

At least 30 injured and 1 dead in the first bombing in the city for seven years.

A bomb has exploded near Jerusalem central bus station in the first of its kind since 2004, during the second intifada.

At least thirty people are said to have been injured, with three in a serious condition and one dead. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The blast comes as tensions rise again in the region. A few weeks ago a Jewish settler family were stabbed to death, and yesterday around 8 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza strip.

The Israeli deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom claimed that the current situation is similar to the lead up to the Gaza war in 2008-9. Binyamin Netanyahu cancelled his planned trip to Moscow upon hearing the news.

Alex thinks that the jews killed themselves because his Islamist friends are all suicide bombers. Its quite a normal thing for them to do!

....and - when they can't suicide bomb the Israeli because these cunning Jews build the 'apartheid' wall to keep them out - they suicide bomb themselves by blowing up their own mosques in Iraq, Iran and Pakistan.

Matthew if you were bright enough...you would figure out where all this is heading.

Hi Blaine, there's no fruitful debate with anyone who defends anything as infallible. Israel doesn't prove christianity-on the contrary, it contradicts it: it doesn't have unconditional support from christians-only from apocalyptophile loonies: and if I had to live in one country in the middle east, it would be the one that's a functioning, tolerant democracy. Which would that be?

So this is the new Islamist line. The Jews butchered a jewish family slitting the throats of two Jewish kids and cutting the head of a baby to garner support for settlements ! How pathetic.

Bolshevik - you imbecile, they have not even found who commited the fogel killings.

There is speculation that a Thai worker who worked for the Fogel family was involved - of course Israeli media have been awfully quiet about that..

@ Bolshevik

I agree with everything you're saying but you probably shouldn't bother. Regarding Alex, you need to remember the old saying: never arge with an idiot.

Matthew and bolshevik, your beloved Israel is hated by the world. Nobody believes your pitiful sob stories.

And nobody cares for illegal settlers on Palestinian land. Israel is a racist warmongering state. And you two morons are a prime example of that.

Pathetic

No it has huge support in the USA Canada, Australia, Indian, Russia, eastern Europe, the non-Islamist population of France, the non-pakistani population of the UK etc. It is just primitive islamists who are possessed of a pathological hatred of liberal-democratic Israel.

And what about the fact that Hamas itself described this savagery against children as a "heroic operation" and what about the fact that the islamofascist regime in Tehran described these murders as a "courageous act of resistance against the Zionist regime" and what about the fact that Baathist fascist regime in Syria hailed the perpetrators as "holy warriors of Islam" and what about the TV footage of the Islamist scum in gaza handing out sweets in streets to celebrate the murder of children. The 'speculation' about a Thai worker was spin put out by the 'moderate' Palestinian Authority' aimed at warped anti-Jewish fanatics like you Alex. What next - was the Holocaust also a Zionist fabrication Alex. Your comments are so vile I suggest you submit yourself for psychiatric help.
