The killings led U.S. President [[George W. Bush]] to observe: “When an 18-year-old Palestinian girl is induced to blow herself up and in the process kills a 17-year-old Israeli girl, the future itself is dying, the future of the Palestinian people and the future of the Israeli people.”<ref>http://www.robincmiller.com/articles/a15.htm</ref> |
