A bombing in a crowded cafeteria at the Mount Scopus campus of Jerusalem's Hebrew University killed at least seven people Wednesday afternoon and injured at least 70, 14 seriously. |

Well from my vantage point, I give you two out of three.
Concessions = Increased attack rate
Doing nothing = steady attack rate
But when Israel Cracks down Always means far less attacks.
It really is proveable too, just check the news archives. Every time the territories are occupied, the terror rate drops to a small percentage of "usual".
I bet that if the territorys were bulldozed the terror rate would drop to virtualy nothing. Any takers?

How could it not have been spotted? Israelis have an ingrained reflex to run like hell from a hefetz chashood (abandoned package).

These are nervous college kids taking an exam in this Frank Sinatra cafeteria. They are understandably self concerned and don't notice the bomb package.
Story goes the bomb was left at the entrance to the cafeteria. Lots of flying glass. The package was very powerful and blasted away glass windows. Created much shrapnel.
I think you and I are on the same page.
Today is my day for predictions. There will never be an independent West Bank. It is not a viable entity.
The West Bank is simply land from the original Palestine that has not been definitively assigned to Israel or Jordan. It is the subject for negotiation between Jordan and Israel, and no one else. If Jordan will administer it, and stop the killing, fine. If Jordan will not, and in point of fact, they want nothing to do with it, then Israel must do so.
In that case, West Bank residents have the option of living in peace under Israeli law, or leaving. Israel can pay them for their property, and compensate them for their removal, but they must go.
But the details of the settlement are subjects for negotiation between Jordan and Israel, and no one else. No one else is a party to the discussion, because no one else has any standing in it.
Most specifically, the UN and NGO organizations who are presently at work must either place themselves under Israeli supervision, or be likewise expelled. In the present circumstance, they enable the killing to go on. They must go.
I would agree to that when every bomb victim is paid $1million each first as these are direct intentional acts of murder.
At this point the PA is about $8 Billion in the hole.
Thanks for reminding us ;-)
Actually it means "submission."
Agreed. Under the Marron peace plan, families of suicide killers can collect their compensation from the Saudis. To their new address in the Sinai.
