At the scene outside the police station (see the previous post), a bus-full of Israeli soldiers were stamping their heavy boots on the floor while chanting, "We want cola."

"...my father had been returning home from his office when he was murdered in the driveway of [his and his wife's] house by a collaborator working for Israel. Much as we tried to get the Israeli authorities to investigate properly and bring the perpetrator to justice, our efforts failed and no one was ever charged with my father's murder... I suspected the government was relieved by the death of a moderate peace-seeker like my father. His death marked for me the end of my expectation of a peaceful settlement.
