JEBALIYA, Gaza Strip — A truck filled with masked militants and homemade weapons exploded at a Hamas (search) rally Friday, killing at least 15 Palestinians and wounding 80 — including children — bringing a grisly and terrifying end to one of the last gatherings by armed groups celebrating Israel's Gaza (search) pullout.

Cry me a river. A shame for the kids, but the brutal reality is that they were probably being raised to be suicide bomber jihadis.

It is hard to imagine any group of people on the face of the planet who are dumber and more self-destructive than the Palestinians. The idea of driving a truckload of homemade explosive devices in a parade has to be at least a collective finalist slot in this year's Darwin Awards.
Given where it went off, it should have been a larger bomb.

"...An accidental explosion would be only the latest in a string of deadly mishaps for militant groups in Gaza.
A Hamas weapons warehouse exploded this month in Gaza City (search), killing six people. Hamas claimed it was an Israeli attack, but Palestinian security forces found the blast was an accident caused by the militants.
During an Islamic Jihad rally at the abandoned Jewish settlement of Netzarim (search) last week, a gunman died after accidentally shooting himself in the head.
Even after the blast Friday, seven or eight gunmen stood in the back of another truck riding through Gaza, using their feet to stop a half-dozen rockets from bouncing around in the bed."

I went to the Middle East Orientation course when I was at SOCCENT.
Read "The Haj" by Leon Uris and you can get some insight into Islamic culture.
It IS a different viewpoint and culture.

Amen to that. If these islamofools ever achieved their wish to have only a muslim world, they'd have nothing to do but go around blowing each other up. It's just their pastime, their recreation - like firing off AK-47s at weddings.
