I remember being in Eilat over 20 years ago...snorkeling in the Red Sea (unforgettable)...one topless European sunbather was making a bit of a stir...no Israel's dark ages neighbors have created the one thing they're good at -- a blood bath.
Pajamas Media has a round up of news on the latest terror attack. The bomber is said to have come in through from Egypt, after getting there through a tunnel from the Gaza Strip.
Tom Gross reports that "A Hamas spokesman called this morning’s attack on ordinary Israelis 'natural'." More on the Hamas reaction, here: Hamas defends suicide bombing as legitimate "resistance" against Israel
Fawzi Barhoum called the attack a "natural response" to Israeli military policies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as its ongoing boycott of the Hamas-led Palestinian government. "So long as there is occupation, resistance is legitimate," he said.
He also said attacks on Israel were preferable to the recent bout of Palestinian infighting in Gaza. "The right thing is for Fatah weapons to be directed toward the occupation not toward Hamas," he said...
The occupation...of Eilat.
