"Blowing up an entire apartment complex full of sleeping men, women and children to get one terrorist - who cares? He was a bad guy. They shouldn't have lived there."

Ole Dave Kaufman getting on your nerves again this morning?

On the other hand, the Palestinian populace itself cheers on, and lends support to, the terrorists. Look at the difficulty of getting the Palestinian Authority to do any serious policing of its territory, or the ubiquitous admiration of suicide bombers.
