For some, this system doesn't develop and for others it gets sidelined.*

--An Arab abroad wrote on Facebook in response to the declaration by Saudi journalist Dahham Bin Tarif al-Enazi, following the Palestinian attack in Tel-Aviv that killed four, that "Our empathy with the Palestinians doesn’t mean that we agree to murder civilians and innocents."
“Those left-wing maniacs deserved to diiiiiiie – all of them. Amen."
--Jewish Israeli wrote on Facebook following the Palestinian attack in Tel-Aviv that killed four Israelis. See Op-Ed by Nurit Cannetti.
