Since September 2000, Palestinian terrorism and violence has claimed nearly 1000 lives in Israel.
The victims have ranged in age from less than a year to more than 80. They have been Israeli, American, Arab, Chinese, Thai and more. They have included soldiers, tourists, students, grandmothers, and whole families. The Israelis ranged from new immigrants to fifth-generation Jerusalemites. The attacks have occurred at a bat mitzvah party, a Pesach seder, a pizzeria, a college campus, a discotheque, a café, a home, an Army outpost and on the street in virtually all parts of Israel, from big cities to lonely rural areas, from bus stops to the buses themselves.
What we can do — what we must do — is remember them. To that effect, JPost. com has created a living memorial to these casualties of war. On the following pages — and it is heartbreaking to see how many pages it takes — are the original Jerusalem Post articles reporting the terror attacks that caused their deaths. At the bottom of each article is a list of each of the victims, including those who died in subsequent days or weeks. Click on each name and a photo of the person who was killed will pop up.
As the Palestinian campaign of terror against Israel continues, we hope this online memorial honors the memory of the victims.
This special section would not have been possible without the extraordinary efforts of Content Editor Doreen Ravona and Senior Graphic Designer Kira Volvovsky. Many thanks to them.
