#0202_West_Jerusalem

19 Years Since Sbarro Terrorist Attack [1]

” ‘The restaurant was full then suddenly everything disappeared.’
The pizzeria in central Jerusalem was full of parents and children that were enjoying a family outing, and then a terrorist with a massively powerful bomb entered.
On this day, 19 years ago, 15 people were murdered, 7 of which were children, in the Sbarro restaurant bombing.
May their memories be a blessing.”

Selected Comments:
– “And only a couple of meters from there some lousy left-wingers are troubling Israel and raising signs that say ‘Appoint Ayman Odeh’ [2]. These people are worse than any terrorist.”
– “I was there, I will never forget the horrible things that I saw, may their memories be a blessing.”
– “My brother was injured in this attack, he was saved by a miracle, he was standing right next to the terrorist, may their memories be a blessing.”
– “And the female terrorist who was responsible for this horrific attack and who brought the suicide bomber to the restaurant is wandering freely, she was released from prison in the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange [3], horrible and upsetting.”
