09:40 PST JERUSALEM (AP) -- An explosion went off Wednesday evening in a hotel in the Israeli coastal resort of Netanya, and paramedics said there were dozens of casualties.

The blast came at a time when Israelis were marking the start of the weeklong Passover holiday. Many hotels cater Passover Seders -- the ritual meal that ushers in the holiday.

Sad, but I am sure I am not the only one who expected the Palestinians to continue their tradition of killing Jews on their holy days.

Enough is enough, cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war

(from gladiator) ...and on my signal, unleash Hell.

Fox News just now reporting that they are getting word it was a suicide bomber. Imagine that.

I really hope I'm wrong, but I expect this to be just the first of many attacks this week.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, unfortunately this is going to be a bloody week.

Good luck Israel. You'll endure the deaths and then Colin Powell too. What an insult!

"The dogs of war" are already at work. Those explosions are their bites! Havoc is also there. Do you want more of it?

[A. Pole]

It wouldn't be useful to punish them for this.

Definitely, every suicide bomber should be executed! Or one should strike back with the same type of attacks.

And the only response is to not let Arafat attend some stupid meeting of evil people? As long as they've got him penned down they might as well take the opportunity to rid themselves (and us) of his pestilent body. Whatever the geo-political "reasons" are for appeasement of Palestinian genocidal ambitions (read Arab "unity" behind our coming destruction of the Iraqi regime), somehow the cause of fake Arab unity behind what will be an overwhelming attack anyway just wouldn't convince me to give MY life for the sake of the diplomacy of Arab "acquiesence".

So I wouldn't expect that it would convince many Israelis (whose people are dying for it every day now) that this "diplomacy" was worth their lives either.

[Rebelbase]

Nah, Israel begs to be treated this way as proven by its tit-for-tat retaliation policy.

Israel would be better off writing a new Constitution guaranting its citizens a certain level of terroism each and every day. That way at least her citizens would know that the Goverment is'nt going to do anything to stop the attacks. Bluff and bluster get old real quick.

[Catspaw]

This is the same town in which shooters--one dressed as an Israeli cop--shot up a boardwalk. A number of American citizens live and vacation there.

Now for my personal reaction: SON OF A B!TCH.

[HELLRAISER II]

No your not the only one, they better prepare for a lot more of the same.

By-by Abdullah - hope you enjoyed Beirut. Don't forget to take your "peace plan" with you when you go.

[Psycho_Bunny]

heheheh....I had occassion, a couple months ago, to say the exact same thing.
