Let me repeat: The two murdered Israeli embassy employees

were attending an event focused on Israeli Palestinian cooperation to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Now we have Republican idiots calling for Gaza to be nuked. And some people on this board, to my eternal sorrow, implying that the murders were justified.
