Some 40 people wounded in Tuesday night's bus bombing in Jerusalem are still hospitalized, including 11 in serious condition. Three of the 11 are children. Among the very critically wounded is a 27-year-old father of four children, Netanya resident Mordechai Shmuel ben Leah Mindel, who is currently totally paralyzed.
In response to the massacre of 20 Jews, including five American citizens, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is urging the Bush administration to cut off all negotiations with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and halt U.S. financial aid to the PA - $215 million in annual aid, and a planned $300 million for the PA's security forces. The ZOA is also urging President Bush to support strong Israeli military action against Palestinian Arab terrorist groups, and send FBI agents to the Middle East to arrest Palestinian Arab killers of Americans.
Palestinian Arab terrorists have murdered a total of 46 Americans since the signing of the Oslo accords in 1993 - 36 of them since the PA launched the Oslo War in September 2000.
Rabbi Shalom Elyashiv, considered the leader Torah authority of Lithuanian Orthodox Jewry, has ruled that the security fence around Jerusalem is a halakhic (Jewish legal) imperative and must be built without delay. He said that political and other considerations should not be taken into account.
