Terror As Usual In Israel

Not even a week following the largest display of good will and bad judgment to date by the Israelis, a suicide bomber has killed 21 in a Beersheeba bus station. The bombing occured even as Israel's government voted to allow troops from their former enemy, Egypt, to patrol the Gaza/Israel border. (source)

The bombing is thought to be retribution for Israel's shooting of five Palestinians suspected of being involved in a July 12 suicide bomb attack.

So it's business as usual with Hamas, a clear indication that the group -- an odds-on favorite to win upcoming Palestinian Authority elections -- wants no Israelis in the middle east -- or on the planet, probably.
