Passing the Buck

Alright, let's recap. Yesterday, a murderous terrorist savage blew himself to bits, killing four Israelis and injuring many others. Now, six months ago, any number of different murderous terrorist groups would have claimed responsibility, making it unclear who actually did it. And today?

Hamas: "We didn't do it!"
Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade: "Hezbollah did it!"
Hezbollah: "No we didn't! Islamic Jihad did it!"
Islamic Jihad Spokesman: "We did not! You lie!"
Islamic Jihad Damascus Office: "Yes, we did! Didn't you get the memo!?"

Basically, all of these groups want to kill the Jews, they all want to be martyrs, and go to paradise, and be serviced by seventy-two virgins, but nobody wants to be the one to break the ceasefire. Causing this truce to fall apart (or at least, doing it openly) is bad news for whichever group of terrorist barbarians does it.

As I noted earlier, "Palestinian" security officers have made some arrests at the direction of President Abbas, which is a very good sign. I'm growing more and more impressed with Mahmoud Abbas; he may very well be the best chance for a peaceful resolution to all of this madness in Israel.
