1. 2 people do not constitute a massacre so..

the GLBT community should stop the "drama queen" bit and work as Nir's mother has said, within the system instead of fightingfrom the outside. It was a terrible murder thats for sure but overplaying it does no good to the movement or to the memories of those murderd.
2. It was a homophobe attack not terror

i'm sure it was terrifying for all involved and a horrible thing that hapened - but its not considered a terror attack in the way that a terror attack is defined in israel.
3. #1: 4 Policemen murdered in Seattle : SkyNews says massacre!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.02.09)
While I am inclined to agree that this was not a massacre, although many were injured, it certainly is a horrible crime and the police have not found the perpetrator even though 4 months have gone passed. No doubt some will say that political pressure from the Ultra-Orthodox and the homophobic right wing not to do anything about finding the killer because "the homos deserved it" and others will point out that the police aren't interested enough in the case. The fact is that with the crime rate rising the Israeli Police Force cannot protect the people of this country! Internal Security Minster Aronowich should give the Inspector General of Police, Commissioner Cohen, an ultimatum: Get your police force out on the beat and stop the crime wave or resign! The people have no confidence in the Police, the Courts or the Prosecution Service!
