MSNBC reports that another suicide bomber has detonated, this time in a crowded shopping center in central Israel, near the West Bank.
This comes as a no-confidence vote in the Knesset is scheduled. Somehow I doubt that this is likely to change any wavering votes; in fact, I would imagine that it would strengthen the resolve of the Israelis, but then again, it is just another of a mind-numbing number of similar attacks.
The Palestinians continue this inexcusably barbaric behavior, and then get all indignant and outraged when supporters of the Israeli people call them barbaric. Calling a spade a spade is not an outrage; justifying genocide (as the Palestinians are attempting) is obscene.
In other news, Amnesty International accuses Israel of "war crimes" for its actions in Jenin and Nablus earlier this year, recycling the same discredited stories that even the UN refused to swallow. Maybe they felt a need to "balance" their coverage, since they finally issued a condemnation of Palestinian crimes. Must make sure that the Israelis get two or three demerits for every Palestinian black mark.
