"Hudna" Broken - 3 dead - 50+ injured


Palestinian Suicide Bomber Strikes in Tel Aviv

A Palestinian suicide bomber killed at least three people and wounded some 50 outside a busy Tel Aviv night club on Friday, shattering a de facto truce by militants that had boosted hopes for Middle East peace.

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

The militant Islamic Jihad group claimed responsibility for the attack outside the Stage Club on a Tel Aviv beach promenade packed with weekend crowds.

... Pieces of flesh were sprayed on parked cars.
The majority of that flesh must have been from kids in their teens and early twenties (Israeli clubs typically only attract kids from 18-25). And without a doubt, a bunch of them were off duty IDF soldiers. Some may have even been Americans, as the club that got bombed is only a few hundred yards from the US Embassy in Tel Aviv. (And that emabassy should be in Jerusalem, but don't get me started on that!)

And more to the point, did anyone really believe that these fanatics would just stop? Even if they promised that they would? It just goes to show, you can't take the word of a terrorist when he promises to stop bombing your children.
