When Jihad says 'Kiss, make up, and kill the Jews'

[oberliner]

Minutes after a suicide bomber walked into a bakery, the only business open in a sleepy residential section of Eilat, minutes after he blew himself and three innocent people to pieces and pulp, the Islamic Jihad was ready with its explanation.

The attack was meant to help bring an end to weeks of Palestinian infighting that has claimed 60 Palestinian dead in the Gaza Strip since December, The Associated Press quoted a Jihad website as saying.

Lest anyone mistake a suicide bombing as a perverse act, lest anyone erroneously identify the killing of non-combatants as something out of the ordinary, something that has tarnished Palestinians in the eyes of the world, something that might cast Palestinians as murderers of innocents, something that might set the cause of Palestinian independence back another several years or so, something that will keep international humanitarian aid even farther from the people in Gaza who desperately need it, the Jihad was ready with the punch line:

The bombing, said senior Islamic Jihad leader Khaled al-Batsh was "a natural response to the continued crimes by the Zionist enemy."

Natural.

Just as natural as telling Hamas and Fatah, "Kiss, make up, kill the Jews."

1. I agree that suicide bombings are not helping the cause of Palestinians, but to say

that Israel has not created a weapon as effective as that really ignores the effect of the occupation. And the idea that looking around the world to places where other countries stole land from indigenous people as an excuse for Israel to do the same is a very poor argument.

4. Whoa there buddy.

Suicide bombings are an awful tactic. Just as the many many actions of the IDF and the settlers are. Does one side get off because they are working at the direction of an official government? I think not.
