Islamic Jihad claims responsibility for bombing;Israel blames Hamas anyway

[cantstandbush]

So I guess this means they will target alleged Hamas members, kill them and start the spiral of revenge killings all over again?

1. Target?

Is that when you shoot at random arabs in the vicinty of a "suspected" terrorist hideout?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. If you're an Israeli, yes. That's what it means.

[ContraBass Black]

3. No, it means using a surgically precise, high explosive guided rocket

On a man standing in the middle of a crowd.

[Lefty48197]

4. Those f*cking terrorists are lucky I'm not in charge of Israel

because I'd kill every single one of the mother f*ckers.

5. You neglected to post

anything that backs up your assertion. In any case, Hamas came out today with a statement saying the suicide bombing at a Tel Aviv bus stop was legitimate resistance, thus aligning themselves with Islamic Jihad. I don't think that retaliation by Israel, directed toward members of Hamas, advances the cause of peace. Neither does endorsing suicide attacks on civilians. Israel is not the only guilty party in escalating the violence. I also find the lack of compassion toward the Israeli victims rather sad. Every time the Israelis kill civilians there's condemnation- and rightly so. That should flow both ways. There's nothing legitimate about blowing up civilians at a bus stopl And no grievance, no matter how legitimate can make it so.

6. As I understand it there were incidents that precipitated the bombing

It's always so hard to tell who shot who before who blew up who. Honestly, I think it's just an unending hell over there. I do feel that we do not hear all the news, though. IMHO, the suicide bombings get much more attention.
