Five of the victims of yesterday's bus massacre in southern Jerusalem were laid to rest today. Dikla Zino, 20, Marina Bizarsky, Ella Sharshevsky and her 16-year-old son Michael, and Sima Novak were all buried in the Har HaMenuchot cemetery. Five others were laid to rest last night, including Ilan Perlman, 8, and his grandmother Kira.
Foreign Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, accompanied by several foreign ambassadors, visited some of the wounded yesterday in Hadassah Hospital's surgical ward. Among the condemnations of terrorism widely heard there and around the world, those of the European Union's Miguel Angel Morantinos and of Denmark are worthy of note.
Morantinos said at the hospital, "It's sickening. Someone has to tell the Palestinians that this cannot continue." On the other hand, an official statement from Denmark, which holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, included a rebuke to Israel for its "operations in Gaza and the West Bank, which add nothing except for encouragement to hatred and violence." Denmark had no comment on the deep-set incitement and hatred taught in PA textbooks, television shows, and day camps, nor on the self-defense nature of the Israeli military actions.
