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.

Maybe so, but the situation is not that far from it right now. Sure there are no foreign armies marching throughthe streets of Tel-Aviv, or Jerusalem, but the entire undercurrent of the terror movement seeks to undermine the veracity of Israel as a state. This equates to an attack on the sovereignty of the nation, and is an outright attack on it's existence. Granted, Israel has weathered worse during '67 and especially '73, but not knowing where the enemy will hit next doesn't leave any room for a strategic defense, only a coordinated offense.
LOL. I am glad that your nationalist views have oozed out finally! Well, I think that Poland was the 1st to resist Hitler because... it was his Neighbor??? Could that be it??? So it was very hard for Hitler to attack the USSR and take over that country w/o coming to Poland, isn't it? Wow, and people make jokes about the Polish mind!
And that is why MOST of Jews lived IN POLAND for centuries. < /SARCASM > And if Poles are "famous" in the way your bias is, it does not come from the facts but how they are presented in media.
It must be hard on your poor underpowered brain, since you have to now respond to so many "disagreements" with your views here... Yeah, most Jews LIVED in Poland... notice the past tense of your own words!!! Also notice, that once the fine people of Poland got their chance under the Germans (whom they resisted for exactly 3 days before crumbling like a piece of wet toilet paper), there are hardly ANY Jews left in Poland.
Oh, and lest we forget... at the end of the 19th centurie, the most vicious of the "pogroms" were perpetrated in Poland and Ukraine. Yes, the Poles - what else but true Zionists! The Poles were SO good at what they did (one can almost imagine those fine polish patriots acting as advisers to the Yasser himself), that the Russian Imperial Government noticed them... and learned to further spread that plague in western Russia. I am sure the Jews will be lining up to proclaim their gratitude to you!
It's hard to tell the Pal b******'s apart without a scorecard, and harder yet when they phone it in, but I think it was the shrimpy one. No wonder the Palies hightailed it out of Beruit this morning (my time). They wanted to get back to Ramallah before THEY were banished by Sharon.
And I doubt if you'd be alone in that dark alley....
Remember when Holy Days like Passover and Easter were for celebrating?
It is not prevalent at all. It is only recommended in the SPECIAL situations when the orders are criminal or very unjust. Blind obedience to the authority is considered a vice in Polish culture and associated with German mentality.
BTW, an Israeli army was formed in a large part by Polish officers (people like Begin came there with Polish army). You can see that this tradition of moral disobedience shows sometimes in Israeli army.
Isn't that the standard reply of the haters whose rantings have been unmasked through facts?
However... there is another possibility. It is possible that you truly believe all the junk that you have been spouting because that is what the Polish schools have taught you. It is unfortunate, but most nations tend to rewrite their own history after the fact in order to cover up shameful behavior and let the national concience live. For examples, you can turn to Western Germany and their crusade to debunk the Holocaust.
I can also understand why you have not bothered to verify your education through "other" sources. It would cost a lot of time, effort and perhaps pain at shameful discoveries. With these words, I put down my sword with you. I admit I have no clue what you are talking about re "Tudjman", and I will now take the time to find out that was all about.
This just in from Haaretz:
23:35 4 hurt when masked gunman opens fire in Jaffa restaurant; motive believed to be criminal
22:56 PA security sources: Netanya bomber on Israel`s wanted list for four years
22:52 Interior Security Minister Uzi Landau: Israel must destroy the Palestinian Authority
22:43 Bush says `cold-blooded killing` in Mideast must stop, calls on Arafat to end violence
22:39 Ben-Eliezer to meet with security chiefs in coming hour to decide on response to Netanya attack
22:28 U.S. condemns Netanya bombing, says it shows need for Arafat to crack down on militants
22:11 PA security chief Rajoub: condemns Netanya attack, says Israeli actions in territories `breed terror`
I doubt it. Cavalry units were used in mass scale in the war with Soviet Union in 1919/1920. But in 1939 cavalry and horses in general were used for fast transportation. If you allude to the supposed attacks of "stupid" Polish cavalry against German tanks be warned that it was a fabrication of Nazi propaganda mindlessly repeated in Western media. Do not trust media or "official" version of history, please. Investigate carefuly first.
I sympatise with you and I do not want to shatter your illusions. Not looking up this Tudjman issue (and others we discussed) will certainly save you from "pain at shameful discoveries".
