While ferment grips the Arab world in the Middle East and North Africa and all eyes are on Libya, Palestinian terrorists continue their deadly activities against Israel including a bombing in Jersualem yesterday and rocket attacks on Israeli cities launched from Gaza.
I believe that the terrorists are being opportunistic in the timing of their attacks. They may well be seeking to prod Israel into a massive retaliation, which they would then try to morally equate to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi‘s killing of civilians that brought forth a military response from the international community.
So far, unless you were very closely following the news, you wouldn’t know much from the mainstream press about the terrorist bomb attack in Jerusalem yesterday. The New York Times carried a story about the incident on p.6 today, for example. Reuters simply called it “a Palestinian strike.” Even the Fox News prime time shows last night made little mention of the attack or the rockets launched from Gaza against civilians in Israel.
The Palestinian terrorists and their sponsor Iran know that the front page headlines will come from any significant retaliations by Israel causing loss of life, and the loud cries that follow from the “international community” for action against Israel.
