No wonder his tears are what they are. He's as ugly (or uglier) than any crocodile I've ever seen.

What if Israel were to make it a policy to blow up a portion of the 'Dome of the Crock' for every incident like this?

Definitely, every suicide bomber should be executed!Excepting French nationals.

You know what, at least Abdullah talks like a half-way normal person who is at least semi interested in peace. Compare that to Assad, who's just a dumb bigot.

Dozens were wounded Wednesday evening when in suicide bombing in a hotel in the coastal town of Netanya at around 8:30 P.M. Wednesday evening. The blast took place at the Park Hotel, in the center of the city. The terrorist walked into the hotel's Passover service in the dining room and detonated an explosive device he was wearing on his body. The wounded are being taken to Laniado Hospital in Netanya.
A Magen David Adom spokesman told Israel Radio that there was a large number of people injured in the blast. |

Will General Zinni now report the obvious to Pres. Bush, that the Pals are savage beasts? That's not PC, so probably not. Israel will have to retaliate for this one.

Definitely, every suicide bomber should be executed! Or one should strike back with the same type of attacks.Mr. Hole... I am seriously wondering which part of your anatomy you use for your mental activity (as minimal as it is).
When exactly do you propose to execute these bombers??? AFTER they have committed their crime! I am impressed.

I have a suggestion, the next time a Palestinian woman claims that she sent her son to his death as a suicide bomber, arrest the woman and publicly execute her for murder.

09:58 PST JERUSALEM (AP) -- A suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowded hotel lobby in the coastal resort of Netanya on Wednesday evening, the start of the Passover holiday, police and TV reports said. Witnesses said they saw at least three bodies, and medics reported dozens of casualties.
The explosion took place in the Park Hotel along the boardwalk facing the Mediterranean. At the time, guests were crowding the lobby, waiting to enter the dining hall for the Passover Seder, the ritual meal that ushers in the weeklong Jewish holiday.
Netanya has been a frequent target of Palestinian attackers in the past 18 months of violence between Israel and the Palestinians.
On March 9, two Palestinian gunmen tossed grenades and opened fire at a seafront hotel in Netanya, killing a 9-month-old Israeli girl and wounding more than 30 other people. Police killed the attackers. The Al Aqsa Brigades, a group linked with Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
It is so clear now why Arafat decided not to go to the summit--he knew this attack was coming and knew he'd never get back home.
