A teenager stabbed at a Gay Pride march died of her injuries Sunday as the attack and a firebombing that killed a Palestinian child put pressure on Israel to crack down on Jewish extremists.

Shira Banki, 16, was among six people stabbed at the Jerusalem march on Thursday by a suspect identified as an ultra-Orthodox Jew released from prison only weeks earlier for a similar attack. The five other victims suffered various degrees of injuries

On Friday morning, hours after the march, assailants suspected of being Jewish settlers firebombed a Palestinian family’s home in the West Bank, killing an 18-month-old toddler.

The separate attacks have put a spotlight on Jewish extremists, while the firebombing further inflamed tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, with clashes breaking out in various cities.

1. Recommending in memory of Shira. Hope change comes to Israel soon.

Netanyahu's coalition should crumble. Something more humane should rise in its place.

2. Religulous superstition and greed

will destroy the human race. And both are equally destructive, horrible and needless.

3. Religious Creeps are Creeps, regardless

of what religion they profess. This one is a murderer. Many fundamentalist religious creeps are murderers or would-be murderers.

Another excellent reason to be an atheist.
