The group Islamic Jihad sent a suicide bomber to Israel for Passover.
The suicide bomber was entering a restaurant when he was stopped. His bag was being inspected when the bomb exploded. The bomb cut the security guard in half.
At least 9 are dead and countless others wounded.
Hamas, the new ‘government’ of Palestine does not condemn the act. Instead, here is their official response:
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri called the Tel Aviv bombing “a natural result of the continued Israeli crimes against our people”.
“Our people are in a state of self-defense and they have every right to use all means to defend themselves,” he said.
Hamas has carried out 60 suicide bombings in Israel since 2000.
In parts of Gaza, Islamic Jihad gunmen fired into the air and gave out sweets to celebrate the attack, witnesses said.ÂÂ

This is the same Hamas terrorist group that’s now in control of the government of Palestine. They are the same group of terrorists that have asked the world for financial assistance as their government is bankrupt.
To say the least, today’s bombing has complicated their efforts to collect funds a bit.
The U.S. and European Union cut off aid to the government because Hamas refused their demands to renounce violence and recognize Israel’s right to exist. Israel also stopped transferring tens of millions of tax dollars it collects on the Palestinians’ behalf every month.
Hamas says not to worry - they’ll get the money from Iran.

So do we think pulling away and trying ‘peace talks’ with these people is going to work? I don’t think so Jimmy.
It’s no surprise these fanatics have come from all over the world to fight us in Iraq. They will continue to do so. And they will continue to bleed Israel.
I think as long as we pretend there is not a war with Islam we are giving them hope and time to build their power and defenses. If we fight them now the more moderate Islamic states will cave in. If we wait, we will have our hands full in 10 or 12 years.
I believe that they will shake in their boots if they get a hint that all Americans are not like those they hear about and see on television. All of us have not forgotten September 11, 2001.
All of us aren’t willing to give up everything to keep a fantasy that they will just go away.
If ‘they’, the Islamic masses, got a hint of just how strong ‘Middle America’ really is, there would be a lot less blood shed.
As it is, our enemies within, the media, are determined to depict us as though we are trembling in the corner.
It’s time to take the blinders off and fight this war.
I, for one, am sick to death of these Islamic bullies and all their senseless violence. And I’m sick to death of the United States of America and Israel being blamed for THEIR insanity.

Thanks very much for linking me. I appreciate it.
And Again…
Imagine if Hamas wasn’t taking a more moderate tone. And we’re talking about state-sponsored terrorism as Hamas has defending this suicide bombing as a legitimate action. Fatah, at least, had the common sense to at least pay lip service to diplomatic…
