The entire quote was <...a Jew who bombs the shit out of a Muslim orphanage....(no specific examples of that, it just sounds good).>
So clearly, there are no specific examples, the comment was made for effect and I have already expressed regret and contrition for saying "Jew" rather than "Israeli", or more specifically "Israeli suicide bomber" or "Israeli artillery specialist who had one too many when entering the coordinates". I am, again, sorry for any offense caused by my righteous anger and misguided wrath.
The point, which was apparently poorly made, is that there are those of all stripes who take their zealous beliefs too far and take out innocents, either intentionally or not, in their crusade to preserve what's theirs or wipe out what they oppose.
We could flip it round and say Muslim blows up Israeli whatever (as orphanage appears to be way too specific), or Shiite blows up Sunni whatever, or English blows up Irish whatever, or Anti-abortionist blows up Abortion whatever, or Republican blows up Democrat whatever, etc. etc. etc. til there's nothing left of the watery blue sphere we're all attached to thanks to the grace of gravity and the foresight of the creator.
