Sorry, but apart from everything else there is to lament and comment on regarding yesterday's attack on a yeshiva (Jewish seminary) in Jerusalem that killed eight students, this is just weird:

Hamas backtracks on attack claim
March 7, 2008

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip --Hamas militants in Gaza backtracked Friday on their claim of responsibility for an attack on a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem that killed eight Israelis.

Ibrahim Daher, head of Hamas' al-Aqsa radio, said his station put out an earlier claim of responsibility prematurely.

Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas' military wing, confirmed the group was not taking responsibility for the attack -- at least yet.

"There may be a later announcement. ... But we don't claim this honor yet," he said.

That they refer to this heinous act as an "honor" shows how perverse and vile they truly are, and not really interested in any peace that means co-existence with Jews.

I don't understand why it's hard to get rid of Hamas. You kill one of their leaders, and everyone comes out in the city square shaking their fists and crying death to Israel. So you bomb that. Just repeat as necessary.

You've got it, Monte. If they insist on death, give it to them!
