New Suicide Bombings In Israel Deserve Retaliation

The declaration today by the Hamas organization that it was perfectly legitimate to conduct a suicide bombing, killing nine, in Tel Aviv compells a hardline Israeli response.

I had hopes that Hamas would moderate itself, given the chance. Instead, they are worse than the PLO. They do not deserve to escape with impunity.

Indeed, since the bomber was from the Iranian backed Islamic Jihad, it could well be that a reprisal should be taken against Iran itself.

There is no reason to be understanding toward Arab killers. They are asking for it and now, it should be delivered. And, incidentally, the U.S. policy against aid to this hapless Hamas regime is vindicated.
