Abstract
There are rare occasions when the tragedy and intimacy of violence ignite a flame in the consciousness of an inured world. Dr David Applebaum, returning last week from a conference in New York to mark the second anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, went to the Café Hillel in a quiet and fashionable district of Jerusalem to meet his daughter. Shortly thereafter, a Palestinian suicide bomber detonated his backpack, killing Applebaum, his daughter, and five others. Applebaum headed the emergency room at the city's Shaare Zedek medical centre. Widely respected as a trauma specialist, he had done much to modernise and improve emergency services in Jerusalem, and he was often involved in treating the victims of terrorist attacks— Palestinian as well as Israeli.
