Already is a wall all around Israel, why build another? The Palestinians have invalidated any right to the land a few dozen mass murder parties ago. Like people who dance in the streets when sky scrapers explode will ever make a state. Best they will ever do is a gang war in a slum and mass starvation.

Come to think of it, that is a pretty good way to describe Ramallah where fatty has his HQ, now that I think about it.

Bombing in Jerusalem cafe: 6 dead, dozens wounded
By israelinsider staff September 10, 2003

A bomb exploded in crowded Cafe Hillel at 11:20 pm in the popular Emek Refaim entertainment district in the southern part of the city. There are more than 31 casualties, at least 14 seriously, and at least 6 dead Israelis. The death toll is expected to rise.

Ambulances are evacuating the wounded. A suicide bomber is believed to have overcome a security guard and exploded as he entered the cafe, which is completely destroyed.

Puddles of blood covered the ground in and around the site of the blast, and witnesses report bloodstains and body parts dozens of meters from the cafe.

According to Jerusalem police chief Miki Levy, one of the security guards perceived the bomber and tried unsuccessfully to push him out.

Channel Two correspondent Moshe Nussbaum reported that police are stopping and checking each incoming ambulance for fear that they may contain bombs or terrorists.

Commentators compared the bombing to the attack two years ago on the popular Moment Cafe in Jerusalem, in which more than 20 people were killed.

Hamas founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin praised the attack, and the Izzadeen el Kassam brigades published a claim of responsibility for this attack and the one earlier in the day at a bus stop near an army base in Tzrifin.

The Hamas statement said that there would be more attacks in the very near future.
