The bomber Izz al-Din Shuheil al-Masri (22) was escorted to the restaurant by Ahlam Tamimi, a 20-year-old female university student, disguised as a Jewish tourist, who also planned the attack. She was released in the prisonor exchange for Soldier Gilad Shalit in October 2011. In her post release interview Tamimi said

Hi Meir,

I would like to see here the images of hundreds of Gazans who died in the massacre of 2008-2009 and thousands of homes destroyed by those who didn't even need to visit Gaza to unleash their terro but did it from the sky.

That was because of this.

This came first.

That was war. This is murder.

I cannot show you their images -heartbreakers I'm sure- but I can show you some of ours.

And stop hating yourself!

First were Irgun and Lehi. I am sure you know the history though one sided only. Mohammeds and Ahmeds didn't arrive in droves where Meirs and Benjamins lived. It was the other way around. And it's still is. 

And it's not hate but truth.

Young man, I did not say "hate". I said "hating yourself"; self hate. No matter what side of what cause you join; what new name you might select; what parents who wish you might have had; you cannot change who and what you are. It is important that you come to terms with that. And, do you think most Israelis don't empathize; have mixed emotions; don't understand that palestinians have their dreams too? Instead of yelling and hating and protesting, and screaming "zionist and apartied" and wanting to be one of them, be useful (and one who is not pro to both sides will accomplish nothing) and come up with a realistic solution which is acceptable to both sides; because if it  not acceptable to both sides it is never going to happen. Someday I suspect there will be a solution but not in my lifetime. There is an Open Forum where you can discuss this further -hopefuly not with college toddlers. You are young, going through a phase. One day you will have a family to worry about and you will forget about all of this.
