The Trouble With Terrorist Rallies

I'm not feeling too Christian at the moment, because I'm having a really hard time feeling any sympathy about this item:

A pickup truck carrying masked terrorists blew up at a Hamas rally at the Jebaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on Friday. At least least 19 Palestinians were killed and 85 injured, hospital doctors said. ...

... the Fatah blamed Hamas for the explosion.

Channel Two reported that while conflicting reports were received, the truck appeared to have been carrying a number of missiles,one of which exploded due to mishanding. ...

Initial reports indicated that Ahmed Randoul, a key figure in Hamas, was either killed or seriously injured in the explosion. Israeli security forces have neither confirmed nor denied this. ...

Witnesses said participants crowded around the pickup truck carrying terrorists when the explosion went off.

Hamas, of course, said it was all Israel's fault. Ha. This is just the sort of thing that happens when a nation lets a bunch of terrorists with missiles pile into a pickup truck and drive in your parade.
