DEBKA: At least five dead, 55 injured – 6 critically - in Palestinian suicide bombing attack Monday at entrance to Netanya’s Sharon shopping mall
December 5, 2005, 11:39 AM (GMT+02:00)Jihad Islami has released videotape of suicide killer
Lutfi Amin Abu Sami, 21, from Rai Village near Jenin, on the West Bank. Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades deny earlier claim of responsibility broadcast by Al Arabiya TV.The bomber was prevented from entering the mall by suspicious security guards and bystanders. When police told him to take his hand out of his pocket, the terrorist blew himself up in the crowd at the mall’s entrance, which has become known as the Cursed Gate. Three policemen are among the wounded.
Netanya, which lies on the Mediterranean between Tel Aviv and Haifa, has been attacked by Palestinian bombers several times in the last five years for multiple casualty strikes. A suicide bomber killed five Israelis near the same spot outside the mall in summer.
Just this past Friday, Charles Krauthammer wrote that the intifada is over and defeated, the Gaza "withdrawal" was a success, and the Palestinians' "first-ever state has just been born." Furthermore, he wrote, now that Arafat is dead, "the Palestinian cause can begin the demystification from revolution to nation-building."
Boker tov, Charles. They're not going to play nice, they don't want to build a nation, they just want to kill Jews.
Nota bene: We don't even know yet who has been killed, and the MSM (mainstream media) has already made a beeline for the scum's village, to get photos of his family crying. Wanna talk about hate? I hate the media.
Go to the Yahoo News homepage, and see how this bombing is mentioned only AFTER Saddam yelling at the judge, AFTER a panel saying the US is unprepared for attack, AFTER Condi saying that intel thwarted attacks in Europe, AFTER Iran's plans to build a second nuclear plant.
When Israel does anything even vaguely violent, it's at the top of the headlines, guaranteed. But just another mass murder of Jews? No big deal, folks.
Click on Top Stories, and it's even worse. The bombing comes AFTER all those stories above AND AFTER the Gulf region's hospitals struggle after Katrina, AFTER some face transplant, AFTER Boston Scientific Corp. offering to pay billions for a rival company, AFTER Tony Bennett and Tina Turner being honored at the Kennedy Center, AFTER the world's largest Christmas stocking, and AFTER the Indiana Colts being in the playoffs ...
This may change over time this morning, but it really, really, really stinks. I am reminded of the New York Times downplaying the Holocaust....
Dead Jews are never news.
