Hmmm, note to self, don't hold up any Arabs wearing bulky vests.Note to would be robbers in Gaza:
The bulky vests hold lots and lots of money. The people wearing them are Isrealis just walking around at night trying to sneak across the wall.

"This sounds like a Monty Python skit." Nah, if it was the robbers would have only received a flesh wound.

That's funny. I was looking for the Onion byline immediately as well.

Is the bomber dumb and the robbers dumber, or is it vice-versa?
To: Piranha
So much for honor among thieves and terrorists.
This really made my day. Thanks

Well, I think that just about sums it up. There is the Middle East in a nutshell: Arabs stick up another Arab (in order to steal a suicide vest) and get blown up in a suicide attack. Old World meets New World. Poignant and sad.Assuming these are, in fact, Arab thieves, and their motive was to steal the vest and not simply stop a suicide bomber (they're bad for business, and Arabs are capitalists at heart), then it's not poignant and sad. It's heartening and cheerful.
If they were Mosad or, like Sinbad or Aladdin (or characters like Simon Templar in our recent popular culture), "thieves with a heart of gold," then I wish them God speed.

The only sad part of that article:
The other Hamas man and the guide escaped.

The French have a saying, "When a thief steals from a thief, God only laughs." This is even more so!

Come on! this is simply too good to be true.
Then again, it is the middle east.
