It is interesting to note two things that I heard today on MSNBC.

1. This guy used to work at the same hotel he blew up. (which might explain how he got past the guard)
2. This guy was on a list of wanted terrorists that Israel passed directly to Arafat over 4 months ago. Little surprise that he didn't act.

Yes, this is a message to democracies of the world. This is how we treat those of other religions. This is how we would treat you Americans who do not follow the Islam faith. We do not have honor. We do not fight armies, we kill unprotected, unsuspecting, unarmed citizens in surprise attacks so that we don't get shot.

We also teach our young that they too can commit suicide for honor. Of course we don't do that - only the young stupid ones do we "allow" to become a martyr. We are above killing ourselves in an attack.

You see, we think we are the judges of the world. Judges to determine how all live, how all believe, and who is to be killed and who is to be allowed to live.

Oh, did I say, we are a religion of peace. Peace when you do and believe as we tell you to.

Arafat arrested him, and in the usual revolving door, let him out 10 days later.

Netanya terrorist planned suicide bombing last summer

By Amos Harel, Ha'aretz Correspondent

Abdel-Basset Odeh, the Hamas militant who carried out Wednesday's suicide bombing in Netanya, had planned to carry out an attack last summer.

In the beginning of August, IDF troops arrested Hamas activist Nihad Abu Kishak in the area of the West Bank city of Tul Karm. Abu Kishak carried explosive devices he was supposed to deliver to two militants planning to carry out a suicide bombing in Israel. He also carried the will of one of the terrorists - Abdel-Basset Odeh.

Israel demanded that the Palestinian Authority arrest Odeh. Ten days later the Palestinian Authority said that they had arrested him, but later Odeh was released from prison.

During the last IDF operation in Tul Karm, soldiers tried to arrest Odeh at his home in the Nur A Shams refugee camp, but were unsuccessful.

Abas Sayed, the head of the military wing of Hamas in Tul Karm, had close relations with Odah. The Tul Karm terror cell is considered to be a branch of the organization carrying out most of the terror activities in the Nablus area.
