Today, some poor Palestinian allegedly "blew himself
up" in israel, "killing three israelis" and giving israel one
more reason to bomb the shit out of Gaza.
Supposedly, he and his comrade, who was killed
by israelis "before he could explode himself" crossed over from
Gaza to Dimona - israel's 'Disney world for nukes'.
Only problem is - so far, I've seen three different
versions of who's responsible for "the attack" and not one of
them sounds credible.

Kronos International:Police officials said a suicide
bomber targeted a busy shopping centre in the town in the
Negev desert and blew himself up on Monday morning.
But they said there appeared to be two attackers,
although only one managed to detonate his explosives belt.
A second bomber did not detonate his explosives
belt and was subsequently killed by a police officer.
Palestinian sources claim the bombers Raji
al-Kilani and Iman al-Haydan entered Israel
from the Gaza Strip.
[btw, Iman is a woman's name - though both
are referred to as men]
Several militant factions have claimed
responsibility for the attack and according to
a spokesman of the al-Qassam Brigades "The attack is a
response to the massacres perpetrated by Israel in Gaza,"
reported Palestinian news agency Maan.
The militant group Islamic Jihad praised
the attack and called it a blow against "Israeli occupation".
Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said the attack
was justified, and that "It shows the Palestinians can
respond to the enemy and their crimes," reported Israeli
daily Haaretz.

AP at 8:23am: Palestinian militants say two suicide
bombers who entered a southern Israeli town today came
in through Egypt after Gaza militants blew up Egypt's border
wall with the territory last month.
1 of the attackers killed an Israeli woman.
The other attacker was shot dead before he could detonate
his explosives.
Israeli officials have feared the possibility
of bombers from Gaza entering through Egypt since the
border wall was breached.
[what a coincidence, they're worst fear
came true]
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians moved
freely between Gaza and Egypt's Sinai desert. Egypt managed
to reseal the border yesterday.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade first
claimed today's bombers came from the West Bank, but now
says that statement was a diversionary tactic. They
say they didn't know initially if the second bomber was
still alive and wanted to confuse Israelis. Once they
confirmed the second bomber was dead, they said he was
from Gaza.
- From
AP at 5:37am ET: "We heard a large explosion and
people started to run. I saw pieces of flesh flying in the
air," a witness identified only by her first name,
Revital, told Army Radio.
The Haaretz daily reported that the second
attacker was shot dead before he could explode himself.
Southern Israel has been on alert against
militant attacks since the Gaza Strip's Islamic Hamas
rulers breached the border with Egypt on Jan. 23. Egypt
managed to reseal the border only on Sunday.
The breach made Israel's Negev desert,
where Dimona is located, more vulnerable to penetration
by Palestinian militants who could enter through Egypt's
Sinai desert. Dimona is about 40 miles northeast of
the porous Egyptian border. Last week, Israel closed a
number of popular hiking areas in the south for fear of
militant attacks.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility
for Monday's attack.
In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said
he did not know whether his group was involved but
that the attack was justified. He also rejected suggestions
that the bombing would hurt Hamas' chances of reopening
the border with Egypt.
So, let me get this straight - at first, no one
claimed responsibility for the attack, then three different
groups clamored to claim rights to this 'glorious operation.'
One of the groups then initially claimed that
the attackers were from the West Bank "as a diversionary tactic"
but then retracted that and admitted that he was from Gaza,
ONLY after they were sure that he was dead (so, he couldn't
deny it).
Perfect sense. Not.
Clearly, this "operation" was planned and executed
by israelis in an attempt to demonstrate that any breach in
Gaza's border subjects them to deadly attacks from the "hordes
of Arab suicide bombers" that the wall holds back.
Moreover, it gives israelis a cart blanche to
kill as many Palestinians as they please in Gaza.
Finally, some accounts say one israeli was killed,
others say three
were killed. Which is it?
I'll bet the answer is closer to ZERO.
In fact, I challenge anyone to present a bona
fide image from a bona fide UNBIASED news source of any of the
so-called israelis that were killed today in the "suicide attack."
As usual, israelis are lying.
Indeed, another score for zionists.
