nd the madness continues _
more bombs, more death, more
sorrow.
The list of dead and injured from
nearly three years of Palestinian terror
against Israel continues to grow, with no
hope, let alone a solution, in sight.
Today, we report on two more suicide
bombers who found their "martyrdom"
in killing and maiming Jews — soldiers
and civilians alike. Tuesday's victims
included a beloved Shaare Zedek
Medical Center doctor who was raised in
Detroit, Dr. David Applebaum, and his
daughter Nava, who was to be married
the next day. Our report begins on page
