Targeting a Fruit and Vegetable Market?!

   The images shown this afternoon on the Al-Jazeera TV channel of the scene of the suicide attack in Netanya today were more than gruesome and ugly. An old Israeli man, whose face and body were torn by shrapnel from the bomb, was lying in a pile of fruits and vegetables and aimlessly waving his still functioning arm for someone to see and help. The 70-year-old man died before reaching the hospital!

Is this a madness or what?

So what’s the difference between such outright terrorist act and that of the Israeli army, which is murdering women and children every day in occupied Palestine?

Are we furiously angry of the Israeli state terrorism against our people? Yes!

Is our blood boiling for revenge? You bet!

Don’t we feel we would love to have a grip on the throat of Ariel Sharon and squeeze the live out of him? Damn sure we do!!!

But take it out on innocent civilians in a cheap fruit and vegetable market?

Sorry brothers and sisters, this is not heroism… This is an outrageous cowardice!!!

This is a MURDER
