These murders were an isolated incident, there is no need to close the West Bank, and Gaza for the rest of the populace is not guilty of what occurred.

The assailants that committed these premeditated murders should pay with their life.

However, because we are not dealing with life when the war was going on, but a different situation, so please remember, 'you never punish the many innocent for the crime’s they are not guilty. ' For in doing so in this way, it is more likely the peace will be kept and less likely of future incidents.

For this was just murder and not a terrorist attack.

Nevertheless, I am deeply distressed that these murders occurred and my heart goes out to the families that lost loved ones.
