I've Been Thinking:

A suicide bomb blows up in a cafe in the Israeli resort town of Eilat.
Three people are murdered and we all hang our heads in sorrow.

The family of the bomber is proud: "The whole family was very happy when it heard that Muhammad is the hero who carried out the attack," said Naim Saqsaq, the brother of the bomber. "We knew that he was waiting and praying for this moment. My brother said 'If only I could be a shahid, if only I could carry out an attack.' And here Allah gave him the privilege."
Muhammad's mother also had praise for the actions of her murdering son.

Hamas called the act of terror a legitimate attack.
Even Abbas, the moderate, referred to the murderous attack as "an operation" never referring to the bombing as a terror attack. His only condemnation was that the attack did not help the Palestinian cause.

The reason there have been fewer bombs in the recent year is because the terrorist's delivery systems and organizations have been disrupted and because the terrorists have been caught - not because the terrorists have turned a page.

Terrorists still hold dear the honor of killing themselves in an act of mass murder.
