How beautiful it is to kill and be killed
By MOHAMMED NAJIB AND NEWS AGENCIES
The Palestinian Authority condemned yesterday's suicide bombing, and denied Israeli accusations that it was to blame.
"We condemn all attacks against civilians, whether Palestinians or Israelis," said Ahmed Abdel-Rahman, a senior aide to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat.
"But at the same time, the Israeli government's accusations against the Palestinian Authority about responsibility for the attack are rejected." In condemning the attack, PA Culture and Information Minister Yaser Abed Rabbo said that it gives Israel a reason to escalate its military actions against the Palestinians.
Hazaa al-Ghoul, the bomber's father, told Reuters he had received a telephone call from a Hamas official to inform him that his son, Mohammed al-Ghoul, carried out the attack.
Hamas did not issue a written claim of responsibility for the bombing.
Stymied twice before, "This time, I hope I will be able to do it," Ghoul wrote in a farewell note found yesterday. Ghoul, who had just begun a master's program in Islamic studies at a nearby university, dated the letter Saturday and went to see relatives one last time.
Over the weekend, he visited his 80-year-old aunt and three sisters, bringing them sweets. One sister, Layla, said he seemed to be acting normal and relatives only realized later he must have been saying goodbye.
After the farewell visits, Ghoul, 22, left his tidy, relatively well-off home in the camp. Relatives said they assumed he was going to A-Najah University in nearby Nablus to prepare for first-semester exams.
In his note, Ghoul said he'd tried twice before to stage attacks, but didn't explain why he'd failed. "How beautiful it is to make my bomb shrapnel kill the enemy. How beautiful it is to kill and to be killed not to love death, but to struggle for life, to kill and be killed for the lives of the coming generation," Ghoul said.
Next to his name, he wrote, "Izzadin Kassam" the military wing of Hamas.
At the Ghoul home, relatives received condolences yesterday.
His mother, Subhiya, sat sobbing with two of her daughters, holding pictures of her son and his diploma from A-Najah.
"My brother is a hero. I'm not sad," Ghoul's sister Samar said.
"He's a martyr," said his father, Haza. "We have only to ask our God to be merciful with him.... Our sons want to die for our land, to get it back."
"The resistance is connected to the occupation. If the occupation is removed, for sure the resistance would be stopped," said Ismael Hanya, a prominent Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip.
"We want to confirm that all the pressures that are being practiced by the United States against the PA and our people is directed at the wrong address," he said, adding, "These pressures should be directed toward the occupation."
Palestinian officials say their ability to crack down on the militants is hampered by Israeli military blockades across the West Bank and by frequent army incursions into Palestinian-ruled territory.
"Israel's daily incursions have totally crippled and prevented the Palestinian security agencies from being able to carry out any security activity in this regard," Abdel-Rahman said.
Translated: By Israel trying to prevent the bombers from striking, theres no way to identify the bombers until the go off!
Words fail.
"He's a martyr," said his father, Haza.
We shoot dogs with rabies; Islam is starting to appear to be the memetic equivalent of AIDS and rabies combined.
Exterminate these people.
I suppose that the bombing was his Master’s Thesis.

Sounds like this emmanates right from the gates of hell.
"For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the...powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil..."
Eph 6:12
In ancient times David would consult with the High Priest, then would deliver a huge can of whup-ass upon the enemy.
Total war, total elimination of the problem.
You lying bald headed scum bag. I see your lies on TV all the time and I can't wait until some gets physical with you in the studio.
When Mecca gets nuked don't blame me you faggot, blame yourself and the rest of your knuckle dragging Islamic killers.
"He who is kind to the cruel is destined to become cruel to the kind.".
