Who’d have thought there’s still room for even more hatred in this part of the world?

A sad night in Tel Aviv last night, as two youngsters were shot and killed in a Tel Aviv youth center for gays and lesbians. No talk of terrorists this time, but some might argue that the murder of innocent youths is a form of terror.

The incident has been roundly condemned by all, even by those in the religious parties who some have pointed the finger at for incitement. Education Minister Gideon Saar put it like this:

This is where we have to say out loud, in a clear voice, that Israel will continue to be a free country, where each citizen is free to choose his way of life according to his own will.

And I think the video clip below shows the true fighting spirit of the Tel Aviv gay community, a little while after the attack. Big respect to them.
