We can expect this to continue. Only a crazy person can expect to continue in the same behaviour and hope for different results. I can think off the top of my head of 4 terrorist attacks in the last 6 months: the shooting at the Yeshiva, two bulldozer attacks, and now this one. Not to mention the hundreds of rockets fired from Gaza. Plus all the other attack that we never hear about. These Israeli leaders are big sports with other people's blood. It's up to the citizens of Israel to put an end to this.
From the Israel project:
19 Injured in Third Attack by East Jerusalem Resident

Three Israelis Killed, Dozens Wounded in Jerusalem Terror Attack
Second Bulldozer Terror Attack in Jerusalem
An East Jerusalem Palestinian man [1] deliberately crashed his black BMW into a crowd of pedestrians near Jerusalem’s Old City at about 11 p.m. Monday (Sept. 22), wounding 19 people. Seconds after the attack, the perpetrator was shot and killed by an off-duty soldier. [2]
Two of the victims are in serious condition, four sustained moderate injuries, and the rest were mildly wounded. Most of those hurt were Israel Defense Forces soldiers on their way to the Western Wall for prayers marking the upcoming Jewish new year. Authorities have not yet released the name of the attacker. [3]
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld confirmed it was a terrorist attack and Israeli TV reported that the man was from Jabel Mukaber, a village in Arab East Jerusalem. [4]
It was the third time in the past few months in which East Jerusalem Palestinians used vehicles to carry out terror attacks. [5]
On July 2, three Israelis were killed and 46 others were injured by an East Jerusalem Palestinian man who deliberately plowed his tractor into a crowd of pedestrians and overturned two buses in downtown Jerusalem. [6] On July 22, more than 16 Israelis were wounded, including children and an infant, after a terrorist deliberately plowed a bulldozer into vehicles, including a passenger bus. [7]
The attack comes one day after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert turned in his resignation and less than a week after Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni won the Kadima party primaries, putting Livni in line to become the next prime minister. Both Olmert and Livni are actively working toward a peace agreement that will include a two-state solution.
“It’s hard to imagine that it is a coincidence that this terrorism is increasing at the same time that Iran is ratcheting up its nuclear program and its rhetorical attacks on Israel,” said The Israel Project Founder and President Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi.
Earlier this month, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, “The Zionist regime is an artificial regime… a fictitious regime.” [8] He also said, “The Zionist regime is a regime that will disappear.” [9]
Since Israel gave up Gaza three years ago, almost 10,000 rockets, missiles and mortars have been fired at Israel by Iran-backed terrorist groups including Hezbollah and Hamas.

it is so infuriating hearing this crap! It is revolting that Jewish blood has become cheaper than salt water thanks to these "Jews" in the Knesset. I wish a righteous Mohammedan savage would Liberate the Jewish People by blowing that Knesset building off the planet... Sorry for my words. It makes me SO angry..

The following part of the above article especially caught my attention:
"Since Israel gave up Gaza three years ago, almost 10,000 rockets, missiles and mortars have been fired at Israel by Iran-backed terrorist groups including Hezbollah and Hamas".
Despite this, there are a multitude of Israelis and Americans who believe that a two state " solution" would lead to peace for Israel. I'm not even talking about those who pretend to want peace but really hope that Israel is destroyed. I'm referring to the naive / gullible people.

Expel this moron!!!

Once more, I differ with most of JTF, including Chaim, on this issue. It's fruitless and intellecutally self-deceptive to constantly rail against the evil cabal of Israeli leaders who have held the nation of Israel hostage with their Bolshevik tyranny (even if, strictly speaking, that is true, which it is) as if they are the only problem. The Israeli public tolerates, and in fact even supports, this evil. Why? The answer is secularism. I think we all came to that answer in the thread about Chaim wanting a righteous monarch as the ideal form of government in Israel. In their secularism, Israeli Jews have taken upon themselves nonexistent "rights" that not only cannot be found in the Bible, but are more often than not completely contrary to what Torah teaches--the prime example, in that thread, being the so-called "sacred right to wear bikinis" (in the words of Zelhar). Most Israelis are still more concerned with selfish things--the aforementioned bikinis, being prosperous, being able to retire early, having "cheap" Arab labor, not being completely hated by the world--than they are either terrorism or Torah. That's a tragedy and a travesty. When material things become the focus of life, human life is cheapened. Most Israelis are willing to tolerate some amount of Jewish blood being spilled, because they assume that this is an unavoidable cost of making "peace". Without a dynamic personal faith in G-d, they don't believe that He will grant them the victory against every enemy, and view either appeasement, or relying completely on the United States, as their only hope for surviving and achieving said "peace". Israelis, and Jews by nature, don't want war. Jews and Christians don't live, breathe, eat, and sleep bloodshed like their archenemies the Muzzies and Odinists do. The problem is that they, because of their secularism and a lack of understanding both of Torah's commandments to exterminate Amalek and G-d's promises to bless them and grant them miraculous victories, can't distinguish justifiable warfare from jihadist mass murder. I don't see much hope in Israel being saved outside of it becoming religious. One of the things Chaim really ought to do more is directly call out average Israelis to repent of the vile sins of surrenderism/appeasement and turn to G-d.
