JERUSALEM, March 31 (Reuters) - A bomb ripped through a restaurant in the Israeli coastal city of Haifa on Sunday and at least 20 people were wounded, security sources, medics and witnesses said. The explosion occurred as the Israeli army was battling Yasser Arafat's security forces outside his West Bank offices in a major escalation of violence in a 18-month-old Palestinian uprising against occupation. "We have been told of an explosion in a restaurant. From a preliminary report we have heard of a relatively large number of wounded," said a spokesman for the Israeli ambulance service. A witness told army radio: "I live above the restaurant. It's a Middle Eastern retaurant near a gas station. There was a huge explosion. Right now they are evacuating wounded. There are two ambulances and a lot of police cars." It was the fourth major bombing in Israel during the current Jewish Passover holiday. The first three were suicide attacks claimed by militant Palestinian factions.

The Arab leaders may be getting something they asked for and could not imagine; no attack on Iraq, but rather a dismanteling of the true Pan-Arab Terrorist Machine by dismanteling the governments of Iran, Syria, Lebannon.... Iraq would be pointless once these terrorist supporting states are overthrown!
This is blatant anti-semitism. There's no other explanation for this irresponsible moral equivalency.
BUMP
It's time we spent nothing on ANY of the terrorist supporting Muslim states. That means pretty much all of them. Everyone of them in the Arab league supports terrorists.
I'm calling my congressional representatives tomorrow to let them know that I consider any of my tax money going to these barbarians to be government-forced sin.
