Suicide Bomb at Tel Aviv Club Shatters Palestinian-Israeli Truce

It was certain to happen; the only question was when. From the New York Times, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 26 - A Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up tonight among a crowd of young Israelis waiting to enter a nightclub near Tel Aviv's beachfront late, shattering a truce that had largely been holding.

Several people were killed and about 50 were injured at the Stage nightclub, according to initial reports by the Israeli police and rescue workers.

The crowd was waiting on the sidewalk outside the club, just a few yards from the beach, when the bombing took place at around 11:30 p.m., witnesses and officials said. Much of Israel shuts down for the Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, but in secular Tel Aviv, the clubs were just beginning to open at the time of the blast.

"A single terrorist exploded in a line of people waiting to get into the club," the police chief of Tel Aviv, David Tzur, told Army Radio in a broadcast monitored by Reuters.

This might earn Islamic Jihad, that claimed responsibility for this (but then these folks, Al Aqsa, Hamas, and such may argue over who did this, because a 'success' like this is a great recruiting tool) the title of 'terrorist group' for a few days, before they become 'militants' again; I haven't seen the BBC yet. I figure they are still militants to them. Abu Sayef in the Philippines have suddenly become 'separatists' on the BBC, like the folks in Thailand and Ache.

A report from Amnesty International had the nerve to list Israel as a violater of rights for pre-emptive measures to KNOWN Hamas bases in houses,Amnesty said that Israel should use the courts to try the terrorists under democratic
laws protecting human rights for a fair trial.


Maybe Martin Sheen could help with picking up the remains of suicide-bombers to put in a baggie and escort it to a Courtroom to be tried as a murderer,I realize that finger-printing
at the Police station actually needs fingers to get a print from,mugshots need a head(Live),and a rectal search needs an asshole,sadly he blew himself up for Allah and the IDF doesn't want to travel all the way to HELL to do a I.D. conformation check.


NO ISLAM - KNOW PEACE

A pity it'll take more innocent lives before Israel realizes the futility of any peace pipedreams with the Palestinians. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.

So much for the idiocy of believing that the "Palestinian" Arabs would self-police this time around. Abbas said that he would not go up against the various terrorist groups in his terrorist "authority." Why won't anyone believe him?

The US administration, backed by the other parts of the "Quartet," will again train "Palestinian" Arab "security" forces. The CIA did a good job of training "Palestinian" Arab snipers last time around."

The Arab snipers were supposed to provide security for Israel by stopping the terrorists within the terrorist PLO. They proved the excellence of the CIA sharpshooter training when one took out an Israeli infant.

Worn-out old cliches come to mind. Using foxes to guard the henhouse applies again. How many times will the Israelis allow themselves to be led down the garden path? Hope springs eternal--in the breasts of those unwilling to learn from past mistakes. They pay the price, time and time again.

And Congress still wants to give the PA another @$350.00 mil so they can perpetuate their dastardly terrorist deeds on people? I also read in the last couple of days that donations to the PA were over $500.00 mil lately (that's w/o the US's 350). For what? Why give these killers one red cent? I'm sick, sick sick of this.

Any US congressman who votes to send those murdering billy-bob-jobs anything more than a gigantic acid enema isn't worth the powder it would take to blow THEM up. Let THEM scrape up blood from the pavement, let THEM search for body parts, let THEM listen to a mother's screams when told her child is murdered or maimed .. and that goes double for the tree huggers and *ssholes at organisations like Amnesty International or media like bbc and all the others that still call these murderers anything less than what they are which is terrorists. Yeicht!

It is time Israel retaliated with everything she has .. except the nuke which it's not possible to use in such close quarters.

Sorry for ranting. I am just tired of my people being blown up and getting the message from the 'rest of the world' that we don't need to exist. Feh! Something has got to pop soon. This just can't keep happening. "Diplomacy" isn't the answer.

Here's a link to a Canadian site where the Muslim President of the Org. blames Israel for the lack of effort to keep the peace and attack
first,this is the same Dr.Elmasry that demands Shariah-Law in Canada for female Muslims and demands the Government refuse same-sex marriages
or any support for homosexual causes,he also was caught on TV claiming that "All Israel;is over 18 are valid targets for murder buy suicide bombers
because of the State Army draft system".
The man also wants war-criminals and terorists
to be protected from having their Canadian citizenship revoke for not revealing their past on immigration papers,Muslim lawyers argue in a article on the same webpage that Canadian born citizen can't be deported or lose citizenship and the Charter Of Rights protects all people and deporting terrorists creates two clases of citizens.
Elmasry's tirade looks pretty stupid now that the Tel Aviv suicide bomber is a Muslim Palestinian murdering civilians.

He's a Professor at a Canadian University and it's amazing how someone can be on Earth for so long and yet be so stupid.

Dust off the bulldozers. Sharon is kidding himself by thinking he's going to stop this type of animalistic behavior by making Jewish settlers relocate out of Gaza and the West Bank to appease these squirrels. They smell blood, and see weakness, which is what they thrive on. This withdrawl tells these illiterates that terrorism works.

The only way to achieve peace in this region is to continue building the security wall, bulldoze the homes of the mad bombers, and expand Israel rather than decrease its size.

Power is all these people understand. Remember, it was Palestinian civilians who danced in the streets on 9/11, not just the terror outfits. To hell with them. Sad, but true.

My first taste of Israel (after the airport) was stretching my legs after the journey with a midnight stroll with my husband along the sea front, watching the Mediterranean sea between the palm trees and thinking "Wow - We're here!" From the looks of last nights newsreel this happened quite near that spot. I wanted to see more of Tel Aviv but there wasn't time.

Hello Catherine, I agree with you. My late Father said after the 6 day war that if there ever were another war Britain should take Israel on as our allies and not the "b***y French" because the Israelis know how to fight.

Sharon has shown great courage in his effort to bring peace about but I do not think he will tolerate this and if he would pull out of the agreement who could blame him?....No, they dont count here.

What can you expect? They are all over and even right here in Chicago:

Dangerous Radical found Preaching hatred and Revolution in America

Sunday, February 27, 2005 Chicago, Illinois

We are now witness to this in Chicago with a dangerous radical 'writer' who is known as Eric Brown spewing anti-American hatred in the Employment, Education and Training Department at Lakefront SRO Corporation (http://lakefrontsro.org). located in Chicago's Uptown Community where he is employed as an 'intern'. The presence of this leftist radical is exposing a mostly 'recovering' community (composed of many former drug addicts, alcoholics and ex-gangsters) which often contains men who are very close to the life of gangs, drugs and the streets to violent and inflammatory radical rhetoric at numerous sites throughout the Uptown area. This vociferous individual is using workshops that are advertised as "Poetry" in order to spread Black Panther Revolutionary ideas (Describing Police Officers as "Pigs who shoot black children and urge them to "Die, you little motherf**ker") and other activist literature that advocates "Revolution" with "Brothers in the streets") and is obviously designed to foster hatred of the Police and incite violence.

Though there is no observable connection to Domestic or Foreign Terrorist groups at this time, this sort of radical activity merits careful scrutiny by the entire community. Attempts by representatives of AmericanJihad to question the employment and actions of this confessed "political activist' have been met with 'banning' from the premises under threat or arrest, threats of actual violence and a rather laughable attempt at coercion which utilized the Chicago Police Department. What is the radical known as Eric Brown, along with the Employment, Training and Education Department of Lakefront SRO Corporation trying so diligently to conceal?

This same individual is also employed in a capacity where he enjoys a constant connection to the Internet, so extreme caution must be taken to see that this system is not hijacked or otherwise compromised in order to provide Islamist or Radical Terrorists with free and easy access to an open computer network.

The potential for cyber-terrorism and Terrorist support that is posed by the Radical ideologies of the individual known as Eric Brown (who professes that he is a Muslim and admits support of Islamic Terrorist groups) is very real and in close proximity to these systems and fragile individuals, all residents of Chicago must be made aware of these potential dangers.

All Americans and ALL USERS must now be made cognizant of THIS 'writer' who is using the name Eric Brown and is proselytizing via hate-filled literature and rhetoric that is designed to incite violence in Chicago's Uptown Recovering Community which makes this a noxious and potentially explosive situation.

Perhaps Mr. "Brown" questionable activities are actually benign? Why don't you write him and ask at:

yuseficus@yahoo.com

Since Mr. "Brown" is an alleged "writer" perhaps he would care to offer some cogent explanation of his seemingly dangerous activities and his concerted attempt to cover them up as well? If so, he is welcome to respond at:

http://www.americanjihad.blogspot.com/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/americanjihad/
http://groups.msn.com/americanjihad/

Since a resident of Chicago's Uptown Hotel on Clark St near Wilson was arrested a bit over six months in a plot to purchase ammonium nitrate and bomb the US Federal Building in downtown Chicago, the presence of Dangerous radical and possible Terrorist supporters in our very midst cannot be ignored.

Many Muslims believe that non-Muslims are kaffir-those disbelieving in Islam. This is not an insult; it is a description. The God in whom we believe did not come from the womb of a mother. The USA is a kaffir state-and kaffir includes those U.S. Muslims who ally with non-Muslims, e.g. in the U.S. Army, as in Iraq, and are therefore legitimate targets of jihad.

* THIS IS A WAR ON DEMOCRACY
* THIS IS A WAR ON FREEDOM
* THIS IS A WAR ON CIVILIZATION ITSELF

We must never forget about 9/11 and the attack on the USS Cole. And the destruction of the Marine barracks in Beirut. And the Khomeini regime and the hostage crisis. And thousands of other incidents, stretching back in time to when Muhammad led the first Muslims in the first jihad.

Islamist extremists in the world as estimated by moderate Muslim
leaders: about 12 million. Fundamentalist sympathizers: 120 million.
Those numbers represent 1 percent and 10 percent of the world's
Muslim population of 1.2 billion. The CIA puts the extremists much
higher - 40 million.

The Ayatollah Khomeini stated that the "Quran says: kill-imprison! Why are you only clinging to the part that talks about mercy? Mercy is against God"; and, "We need a Khalifa (leader of Islamic state) who would chop hands, cut throat, stone people."

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims.

"I say to our enemies: We are coming. God may have mercy on you, but we won't." - Senator John McCain

What is so perplexing is that most Americans don't seen to comprehend:

a.) How long this Palestinian insanity has been going on
b.) How dedeciate they are to the annihilation of Israel
c.) How CLOSE they are to Israelis

But since Arafart did such a great PR job of BS, the liberals in the USA and world wide actually believe it all.

Israel should start by taking all of the land back that we gave to the Arabs at Camp David in the 1970's. The Arabs want the 1948 borders back and want all Jews driven into the Mediterranean. They want Jerusalem. They want all of Israel when it comes down to it. They will never stop killing us and our children. There will never be peace with them. Any blind person can see this. What is the matter with Sharon and the peaceniks and the Israeli government giving away our land to these murdering bastards. If you look at a map of the Mideast right now, Israel is a tiny spot that can hardly be seen as is. Pretty soon there will be nothing left for us. We don't have to, and shouldn't compromise or make concessions, the Arabs have to. We should not give in to the U.S. or the rest of the world and their double standards, with their "do as I say, not as I do" advice. How much would the rest of the world put up with if it was their people being murdered day after day? And why should anyone give the "Palestinians" any money for anything. Let them find the money Arafat and his family have stashed away. Why support them when they are only going to use the money for more killing weapons against Israel and Jews? The Israeli people should stand up and impeach Sharon and take back everything that is ours and all the land that was given to us by Hashem in the Torah. The whole world is anti-semitic. The peace process is a joke, the same as all of the other one-sided peace processes. The only thing the Arabs should get from us are a few nukes, nothing more and nothing less.
