Apparently, some people in the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, Hamas and the Popular Resistance Committees didn't get the President-elect's memo on attacks on Israelis being counterproductive.

Truck Bomb Attack Kills 8 in Gaza Strip

At least two and possibly three Palestinians blew up a truck bomb and then themselves late Thursday at a busy crossing point in the Gaza Strip in an attack coordinated with other militants who fired mortars and automatic weapons at Israeli soldiers.

At least five Israelis and three Palestinians were killed in the attack, according to the Israeli Army and news media and Palestinian medics. Another 10 people were wounded, at least 4 of them Israeli.


And why did this particular target become attractive to the terrorists? Appeasing the liberals.

The operating hours at Karni were recently increased to allow more goods to cross, in an Israeli move to help Mr. Abbas by slightly loosening its tight grip on Gaza.

Welcome to Oslo II.
