Declaration of War: Palestinian Government Claims Suicide Bombing Legitimate "Self Defense"

Another clarifying moment:

Sami Abu Zuhri, a spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said on Monday that the Tel Aviv attack was part of the Palestinians' right of self-defense.

"Resisting Israeli aggression was rightful as long as it continues," Abu Zuhri said.

"The occupation seized money of the Palestinian people and urged the world not to assist the Palestinians, so this attack took place before those who agree with this aggressive attitude," he said.

At least six Israelis were killed and 30 others wounded, with some in serious condition, as a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up near an old bus station in the center of Tel Aviv.

Abu Zuhri was echoed by Wasfi Kabha, minister of Prisoners' Affairs in the Hamas-led cabinet.

Kabha told reporters that the attack came "in the framework of legitimate right for resistance against Israeli violations and crimes."

The Arab art of war relies upon lies. They lie and say they want peace when actually they're at war, but want to limit the counterattacks of the enemy.

For a long time the Israelis have had to play this game with the Palestinians, with the world pressuring them to "seek peace" when the Palestinians were murdering them.

But the elected, legitimate government of the Palestinians has just endorsed suicide bombings on civilians as its right.

The game is over. The Palestinians are now in declared, open war with the Israelis. And that invites, in response, the Western way of war, which isn't as deceptive but which is much more deadly and effective.

Fuck 'em. They had their chance. When they grow weary from burying all their dead, let them ask their God, "But whatever did we do to deserve this?"
