CHARITABLE, BUT:
Abbas condemns Netanya bomb, vows to punish those behind it (Ha'aretz, 7/12/05)
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas condemned as "idiotic" Tuesday's suicide bombing in Netanya that killed two people, and said those behind it would be punished.Posted by Orrin Judd at July 12, 2005 12:47 PM"This was a crime against the Palestinian people and those who were behind it must be working against our people's interest and must be punished," Abbas told reporters.
"Those behind it were behaving idiotically. There is no rational Palestinian who can conduct such an act at the time Israel was withdrawing from ... settlements starting in Gaza and moving to the West Bank," he said, referring to the upcoming implementation of the disengagement plan.
"We understand that those who carried out this attack want to sabotage the efforts being exerted to have a smooth and peaceful disengagement from Gaza and a revival of the peace process," said Palestinian official Saeb Erekat.
Words, all words.
Wake me when they pop a cap on one of the bad boys. Or maybe string them up like Arafat did to "collaborators" who sold land to Jews.

NO! This was a crime against the JEWISH people! Specifically, those that were killed and their families.

Don't forget that this war is the result of many many centuries of history. America have a shorter history than those lands. we can say one thing: this war will finish when all peolple of the world will be united (jews, muslims, christians...) and fight against this situation. Don't create the same war in the world and show to Israel an Palestine that the world doesn't want this war.
Excuse me for my english
