Here are the passages that particularly struck me:
Quote:
|
Hamas, which has been behind scores of suicide attacks against Israel in a 3 1/2-year old Palestinian uprising and has pledged to destroy the Jewish state, issued an immediate vow of revenge.

Mmmkay.
You've already vowed to destroy Isreal. So isn't the "immediate vow of revenge" kind of wasted?
Or is it just the cherry on top of the destruction Banana Split?
Quote:

"This blood will not be wasted. It is our fate in Hamas and it is our fate as Palestinians to die as martyrs. "
|
Your "fate"?
It seems that if you stopped killing Jews, they would stop killing you.
Doesn't sound like "fate" to me.
Quote:
The air strike occurred hours after an Israeli border policeman was killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber at the main Erez crossing on the Israeli-Gaza border.

"I completely condemn this Israeli crime of cold blooded killing in front of the whole world.."
.

The Arab world joined in the condemnation. "It is state terrorism and this is clear proof that Israel cannot live in a climate of stability," said Hossam Zaki, official spokesman for the Arab League in Cairo.

I guess the unknown policeman didn't deserve similiar consideration. Perhaps his killing wasn't as "cold blooded"?
Anyway, those are my initial thoughts.
