Last night on FoxNews Field Marshal Geraldo Rivera got in the Hamas spokesman's face in Beirut. "These were innocents," General Rivera told him. There are no innocents in Occupied Territories Mr. Hamas Representative replied sneeringly. The Saudis report the attack, adding only that "The bombing threatened to derail the latest US truce mission, which survived two attacks last week. Only hours earlier, US President George W. Bush said his envoy to the region had made progress in truce talks." Just another impediment to the "peace process." A minor detail. "I hope they crush this demented rebellion with such ruthless force that Palestinians and all Arabs speak for centuries with hushed tones remembering the day Israel woke up and the end of the "Old Islam" began," writes Dan Rector at Blorg. VodkaPundit has a long and moving expression of pure outrage. All I have to offer is the warning: Don't forget. Each of these attacks is worse than the last, but only because it's the most recent. Objectively, this one may not even be as "bad" as the Bat Mitzvah attack. But it's two months later, and those killed have been buried for at least 60 days. There was another hotel boomer six days ago, the third to explode in three days, a cycle that included the bus boomer. A couple weeks before they hit a supermarket. The attack on March 2nd killed three infants, and they hit a fast food restaurant (Ooooh! Strategic target!) two weeks before that. I could go on until I fall asleep and you go read somebody else's page. If you want the full list, type "boomer" into the search box. Instead, I'll point out that the attacks aren't without direction, that their targeting and the frequency are planned, and that their purpose is to goad the Israelis into military action that the Well said, sir. You kept your trademark tongue-in-cheek to a minimum and wrote eloquently on this outrage. As much as it pains me to admit it, I think its time for Israel to build a fence. The only question is no longer whether but where. |
