The world turns a blind eye to Israeli terrorism.

It is important to note that this is not an isolated incident, and this story has only reached the news because the victims are European dignitaries. Those pogroms (there's no better word to describe those incidents) are happening on a daily basis, and the scale (multiple attacks per day) makes it apparent that this not just random violence, but a coordinated campaign to ethnically cleanse the rural Palestinian population of the West bank. Edit: language.

Imagine the reactions if it would not be Israeli 'settlers' also known as terrorists, but Syrians or Afghan people doing the attacks...

What will the French government do? What does our government do when Americans are attacked by Israelis? Nothing. There can be little more proof that our governments are occupied than that!

Is be very surprised if there is any other action other than some statements condemning the attack. I wonder what's the line that needs to be crossed before some actions are taken against the government of Israel, which constantly allows this. My guess is that even killing some (<10) Europeans still would not cut it.
