Although I'm not an Arab or a Muslim and have no family members who are, I always like to see the IDF eat some of what it dishes out. It's out of a sense of justice that I like to see the brave underdogs get in a few shots once in a while. Although I can't approve of attacks on unarmed civilians (by either Palestinians or Israelis), the killing of IDF thugs is another matter entirely. To the bomber who wasted those soldiers, I say: "Good job!" :th: To Israel's David Baker, I say: "STFU, liar. Killing enemy soliders is NEVER terrorism."
7 IDF soldiers killed in suicide attack outside army base

Seven soldiers were killed and 32 people were injured Tuesday when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a crowded bus stop adjacent to the Tzrifin military base near Rishon Letzion. Six people were in serious condition.
The military wing of Hamas later released a statement, after another suicide bombing just five hours later, in Jerusalem, claiming responsibility for both attacks. At least six people have been killed in the Jerusalem attack and over 40 injured.
Police investigators have determined that the suicide bomber, who blew himself up just before 6 P.M., was a 19-year-old Palestinian man from Rantis, located in the West Bank. The bomber, who wore civilian clothes and carried a leather bag containing a two-to-three kilogram bomb, got out of a car adjacent to the bus stop and blew himself up.
As of late Tuesday night, four of the victims of the Tzrifin bombing had been identified: Chief Warrant Officer Haim Alfasi, 40, of Haifa; Captain Yael Kfir, 21, of Ashkelon; Sergeant Yonatan Peleg, 21, of Moshav Yanuv; and Corporal Felix Nikolaichkov, 20, of Bat Yam.
Cpl. Ayal Schneider, 20, was walking toward the bus stop when he heard the explosion. "People were running from the bus stop shouting 'bomb! bomb!"' he said.
"I saw the bodies, the body parts strewn around, heard the screams, and tried to help," said one witness, who gave his name only as Roi.
The wounded were evacuated to the nearby Assaf Harofeh Hospital, Ichilov Hosptial in Tel Aviv, Wolfson Medical Center in Holon and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer.
"The attack today is further indication that the Palestinian Authority is doing absolutely nothing whatsoever to reign in terrorists or to dismantle the terror infrastructure in their areas," said David Baker, an official in the Prime Minister's Office.
The security forces have been on high alert since Israel's failed attempt Saturday to wipe out the top leadership of Hamas, including the radical Islamic movement's spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Speaking on Sky News, Hamas spokesman Abdel Aziz Rantisi did not claim responsibility for the suicide attack, but said that it was carried out in response to Israeli "crimes."
Security forces raised the alert level in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning due to warnings of terror attacks. Israel Radio reported that the security forces suspected one or more terrorists may have already succeeded in infiltrating into Israel.
In recent days there have been increasing calls, especially from right-wing ministers within the cabinet, for the expulsion of Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. The United States, however, has expressed opposition to such a move.
Secretary of State Colin Powell on Sunday rejected further dealings with Arafat but restated U.S. opposition to the idea of deporting him from the territories. That, Powell said, would "put him on the world stage as opposed to the stage he is currently occupying."

I saw a clip of a eww soldier screamin' like a panicked woman after being badly wounded in a Hamas bombing in Lebanon a few years ago. As satisfying as a piece of chocolate cake, it was.
Death to these kid-killers.
