Hamas Must Condemn Attacks on Civilians

Human Rights Watch gets it right over the latest attack on Israeli civilians by a Palestinian militant group:

The Palestinian armed group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for Monday’s attack in a Tel Aviv café, which killed nine civilians in addition to the bomber. After the attack Sami Abu Zuhri, a long-time official spokesman for Hamas, was widely quoted as saying that “the operation is a natural reaction to continued Israeli crimes against our people,” and that “the Palestinian people are in a state of self defense and have every right to use all means to defend themselves.”

...

Even in the face of Israeli violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, Palestinian armed groups have a duty to refrain from reprisals against civilians, and the Palestinian government has a responsibility to try to prevent such reprisals and punish those who engage in them.

you have to be in palestine to realize the facts,the reality,the media is baised being influenced by the cunningness of the west,which concorts the truth to give a distorted view of the actual sufferers.the stories of the jewish tribes is a biggest lie ever created.the kins of the the abraham could never have been blonde or blue eyed [no insult intended] thats basic logic. the natives today live in abject poverty,slaves to their tormenters, prisoners in their own land.it time that you do away your ignorance and open your eyes to the stalk truth.

the point is the oppressed natives ain't gonna win their freedom by bombing the odd school bus or cafe. Uncoordinated random violence for the sake of violence is not going to win.
