Only the BBC could run a headline reading: Rare suicide bombing hits Israel

Did someone say “Rare”? By any normal standards the following list of over 100 acts of suicide and other bombing attacks in the last decade would seem to suggest otherwise.

And of course, it comes as no surprise that, in both in its TV and radio reports, the BBC fails to mention that Israel’s remarkably efficient intelligence services regularly apprehend Palestinians bombers–from both “moderate” Fatah and “Islamist” Hamas–or that Israel’s “ghastly” security barrier (as one BBC “expert” referred to it) and its “evil” (i.e. life-saving) checkpoints have made it much more difficult for bombers to enter Israel.

And as has become common practice after Israelis are murdered, Palestinians in “impoverished” Gaza have been handing out candy, sweets, and flowers in response to the attack. (Photo below from Reuters Gaza Bureau.)
