Re: But Hamas made a major blunder killing 15 teen-agers and wounding 60 others by targeting the nightclub. Israelis have now been provided all the political "ammunition" they require to take extreme military action.

All mixed up about it, eh? The suicide bombing's responsability has been claimed by Islamic Jihad, not by Hamas --even less by the Palestinian authority.

Anyway, I guess the IDF is not gonna make such a fuss about it when unleashing its retaliation against the Palestinians...

Excerpt:

Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat condemned the bombing.

"We condemn these attacks against civilians and call on all to practice restraint, stop escalation, end the military siege, end all forms of violence and go back to the negotiating table with emphasis on the basis of the Egyptian-Jordanian proposal and the Mitchell Report," a statement from his office said.

"We call for a stop of all kinds of violence against civilians for our children's and their children's sake."

Leading Israeli analyst Chemi Shalev told CNN's Jerrold Kessel the Israeli government "will have no choice but to respond with force."
