But I was told all this get tough on terrorism is what made the bombers stop. Guess that didn't work.

There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know -- that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion.”

This is the same President that told us Mexico was our good friend too.

Hamas has claimed responsibility.

According to Radio news (Sweden) the killers came from the Hebron area - an area where the Safety barrier isn't finished
(actually the last was also from the radio news, although they didn't call it a safety barrier).

Yesterday border guards stopped a suicide bomber so it looks like Hamas' bomb factories are up and running again.

Unfortunately technology diffuses. Thus more and Mohammedans know how to make car bombs, suicide bombs, roadside bombs. Imagine what the man himself, Muhammad, could have done with explosives to fuel his Jihads.

Yes it did stop it SIGNIFICANTLY!! Of course nothing is ever 100 percent full proof, however from what WAS once a homicide bombing almost daily and for sure weekly, it has now been brought down to once in every few months and that is a BIG difference and its ONLY because of the IDF and shin bet actions against these terrorists as well as the building of the anti terror security fence.

Oh and on the latter, the fence isn’t 100 percent completed yet and in fact in the south, where the terrorists came through to attack the other day, there was no fence up yet..........all that is due to the outside as well as inside Israeli courts acting stupid (as usual) and halting the construction..................no matter, eventfully I believe it will be finished and well what is a FACT of now a over 70 percent REDUCTION this year of terrorist violence against Israel will only get even higher when the anti terrorist security fence is completed!!

P.S. this is my first post here……Long time reader, though never posted till now. This comment by Joe Hadenuf just caught my eye and well I guess y’all will be hearing more from me in the coming future.
