Bombing in Jerusalem

Earlier today we posted about the missiles that have been coming into southern Israel.

Now we have reports coming of a bomb planted by a bus stop in Jerusalem that killed one and injured 30.

And I don't need to remind you twice in one day that Israeli Jews are still raw about the butchering of the family of five last week.

(Reuters) - A bomb planted in a bag exploded near a bus stop in a Jewish district of Jerusalem on Wednesday, killing a woman and injuring at least 30 people, in an attack police blamed on Palestinian militants.

No one claimed responsibility for the blast, which coincided with an upsurge of violence on the Gaza border that has led to fears of a new war between Israel and the Islamist group Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, after months of relative quiet.

Medics said three people were seriously hurt by the explosion, which hit one of the main routes into central Jerusalem in the afternoon, shattering the windows of a nearby bus. A woman in her 60s died in hospital.

Police said it was a "terrorist attack" -- Israel's term for a Palestinian strike. It was the first time Jerusalem had been hit by such a bomb since 2004.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel would take action against those groups who he said are testing the Jewish state's will to defend itself.

"Israel will act aggressively, responsibly and wisely to preserve the quiet and security that prevailed here over the past two years," Netanyahu said.

In the Gaza, a Hamas spokesman said the group, which does not recognize Israel's right to exist, was seeking to reverse the recent rise in violence and "to protect stability and to work in order to restore the conditions on ground."

Pay close attention to Netanyahu's words above. What do you think "aggressively" may mean?

Hi Dennis,

This series of videos is of the Islamic, Jewish, Eastern Orthodox meeting with the Sanhedrin. Inspired in the belief that we all worship the same one God.

The 4th video is a good place to hook you to watch the whole series.

Remember, all will come to worship together. I suspect this is the foundation of the one world religion in the first 3 1/2 years.

One little point Jesus is not Son of God, Lord and Savior, in this theology.

Peace,

Tom
