Palestinian targets range across the spectrum of Israeli society

Civilian targets inside Israel which have been attacked include:-

    *
     restaurants and pizzerias
    *
     bars and coffee houses
    *
     passenger buses
    *
     the entrance to a synagogue
    *
     a hotel Passover feast
    *
     a discotheque
    *
     university bus stops, buses and a cafeteria
    *
     shopping centres
    *

    *
     gas storage terminal

    *
     a barmitzvah party


Five Palestinian groups have been involved in suicide bombings:-

    *
     Hamas
    *
     Fatah Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade (linked to Yasser Afafat’s Fatah)
    *
     Islamic Jihad
    *
     PFLP – the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
    *
     The Fatah Tanzim

They frequently claim joint responsibility for attacks, or even compete to claim “credit” for the same attack.


Involvement of Palestinian women and children

Palestinian women have carried out several suicide bombings; and children have been exploited to smuggle bomb belts or even to attempt to carry out attacks themselves.


Suicide bombings started 7 years before Ariel Sharon became Prime Minister: (see Briefing 51)


Suicide bombings cannot be condoned as a legitimate response to a grievance: (see Briefing 41)


Suicide bombings are not caused by despair, but by the manipulation of despair by fanatical terror groups: (see Briefing 27)


Suicide bombings do not advance the Palestinian cause, but sabotage it: (see Briefings 49 and 68).


Suicide bombing methods are designed to inflict maximum suffering

Bombs have routinely been filled with nails, or ball-bearings or pieces of metal or screws to maximise the suffering of the victims (see Briefing 27). Occasionally, the bomb fragments have been coated with rat poison, to infect surviving victims.


Rescuers are themselves attacked

On numerous occasions a second bomb has been detonated to catch those rescuing victims of the first.


The survivors suffer horrific injuries, and trauma

Thousands of surviving Israelis have been horrifically maimed and traumatised. Many are in long-term rehabilitation. Thousands of families have been shattered.


Suicide bombing is just one Palestinian method of mass murder

Suicide bombing is just one Palestinian method of committing mass murder: others include machine-gun attacks, grenade attacks on bus passengers or worshippers, stabbings, Qassam rocket attacks, driving a hijacked bus into passengers waiting at a bus-stop, drive-by shootings, gunmen running amok, car-bombs, land-mines and booby-trapped vehicles.


Many attempted suicide attacks are foiled by Israel

77 suicide bombings are listed below: many more attempted attacks are foiled by Israeli security services, or otherwise “fail” : see Briefing 88.

Pizzerias and cafes? Most Palestinians are lucky then, they don't even have to go outside their building to get bombed, it comes to them and decimates their entire apartment block. In fact probably one or two of the bigger apartment block bombings before has killed more than all the attacks you listed combined...

But don't mind the facts & figures, after all Israelis are real people, like us Westerners, the Palestinians are just "Arabs", like thirdworlders, just a bunch of bloody statistics right? They don't even have names, faces, ambitions, life stories, grieving families like we hear about the Israelis, they're just numbers...

Or indeed how HAMAS treats its own people, the Palestinians that have the audacity to support Al Fatah instead of HAMAS.

abu,

The 'Palestinians' are lying, treacherous moslems.

Period.

Why, oh why, are moslems now complaining?

When they, moslems declare, almost every day, that it is an honour for a moslem to die as a martyr for Allah.







ISLAM has demonstrated, and demonstrates every day, what it REALLY is,
.....and ISLAM is a death cult.

That is a fact.



Most recent exemplary evidence [but 100's more evidences available],

"Tamimi distinguishes good Muslims from their adversaries this way: 'We love death. They love life.'"

abu,

You claim 'Palestinians' are dying, being 'murdered', by those heartless Zionists?

That, is a crock.

But just suck it up abu!

Suck it up!



Ezekiel 35:1
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3  And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5  Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7  Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8  And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9  I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10  Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12  And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13  Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14  Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15  As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.


Idumea = = Edom = = Jordan = = 'Palestinians'
