When someone blows themselves up in a public place, with ample witnesses, and the deed is proudly claimed by Al Aqsa, Hamas, or Islamic Jihad, I tend to take their claims at face value.

It is an enormous twist of logic to claim it is naive to believe Palestinians are killing themselves (in a culture that declares the shahid a hero), but Jews would happily blow themselves up in some farsical Machiavellian ploy to finger the Palestinians. What would the Israelis gain? They have never in the past needed any excuse to do what they consider to be in their security interests, nor given any heed to international opinion in formulating that interest.

If the Palestinians claim it is holy to blow oneself up for Palestine, celebrate when a shahid blows himself up, take credit for killing Jews when a shahid blows up... theres a damn good chance it is a Palestinian blowing himself up.
