Israel vows to react as seven die in bombing

[dudeness]

A suicide bomber targeted off duty Israeli soldiers at rush hour tonight, killing at least seven people, in at attack that the country had been braced for.

More than 30 people were injured, most of them seriously, in the bombing at a bus stop near both the Assaf Harofeh hospital and the Tsrifim army base in the Tel Aviv suburb of Rishon Letzion.

Security officials said there were many soldiers at the bus stop. Ambulances, apparently dispatched from the nearby hospital, quickly lined up at to pick up the wounded.

4. and then Hamas will vow retaliation

and then Israel will vow retaliation for that retaliation,so Hamas will vow retaliation for Israel's retaliation of Hamas' retaliation which was in retaliation of Israel's retaliation....

Are they having fun yet?

5. Why? It looks like the acts of Israel brought about the bombings

Maybe if Israel stopped killing their neighbors then peace woulk break out. I don't see what other choice the Palestinians have but to fight back with what they have to fight with. It's sad that they have to die in the process of fighting back instead of killing from high in the sky like Israel does.

6. With Every Israeli Incursion

HAMAS grows in strength.

7. This is targeting of military personell...

not a terrorist attack.

And more Israeli incursions will simply cause more harm to Palestinians.

Btw, this thread will probably be moved to I/P.

8. Has anyone else noticed the Sharon/Hamas/Arafat pattern...

1.) Sharon is asked to retract his settlement Policy...

2.) Sharon attacks Hamas...

3.) Hamas sends suicide bombers...

4.) Israel retaliates against Arafat...

5.) Arafat can't/doesn't retaliate...

6.) A period of relative peace ensues proving Sharon was right to attack Arafat...

7.) Settlement activity increases...

8.) Sharon is asked to retract his settlement Policy...

9.) Sharon attacks Hamas...

10.) Hamas sends suicide bombers...

And on and on...
