So much for peace

Another murder bombing happened in Israel today. I'm not one of PC media, it's murder not suicide. This one took place in Beersheeba, a town in southern Israel. 21 were wounded but no one was killed.

For those idealists who think the Gaza withdrawal would bring peace, this should be a wakeup call. The Palestinian leadership don't want Gaza, they want Palestine. In simple terms, they want the total destruction of Israel. That's their objective, and the violence won't end till that happens or a radical change in the thinking of those leading the PLO, Hamas, etc happens. There is no sign of this happening any time soon.

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Twenty-one people were wounded Sunday, two seriously, in a suicide bombing at a central bus station in the southern Israeli town of Beersheba, Israeli officials said.
The bombing occurred about 8:30 a.m. outside a bus during the morning rush hour when a man detonated himself.

Security guards at the bus station were approaching him to check him out, thinking he looked suspicious, when the explosion occurred, police said.

"Israel has taken the necessary steps to advance the peace process," said an official in Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office, referring to the Israeli withdrawal from settlements in Gaza and the West Bank.

"The Palestinians have not. Without such steps, there will be no progress."

Hours after the bomb blast, the Israeli cabinet voted 18-2 for the deployment of Egyptian troops along the Gaza border, another step toward ending Israel's decades-long military presence in Gaza.

No claim of responsibility

The two people that were seriously wounded in Sunday's blast were the security guards nearest the bomber, police said.
