Today, some poor Palestinian allegedly "blew himself up"
in israel, "killing three israelis" and giving israel one more reason
to bomb the shit out of Gaza.
Supposedly, he and his comrade, who was killed by israelis
"before he could explode himself" crossed over from Gaza to Dimona -
israel's 'Disney world for nukes'.
Only problem is - so far, I've seen three different versions
of who's responsible for "the attack" and not one of them sounds credible.

Kronos International:Police officials said a suicide bomber
targeted a busy shopping centre in the town in the Negev desert
and blew himself up on Monday morning.
But they said there appeared to be two attackers,
although only one managed to detonate his explosives belt.
A second bomber did not detonate his explosives
belt and was subsequently killed by a police officer.
Palestinian sources claim the bombers Raji al-Kilani
and Iman al-Haydan entered Israel from the Gaza Strip.
[btw, Iman is a woman's name - though both are referred
to as men]
Several militant factions have claimed responsibility
for the attack and according to a spokesman of the al-Qassam
Brigades "The attack is a response to the massacres perpetrated
by Israel in Gaza," reported Palestinian news agency Maan.
The militant group Islamic Jihad praised the attack
and called it a blow against "Israeli occupation".
Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said the attack was justified,
and that "It shows the Palestinians can respond to the enemy and
their crimes," reported Israeli daily Haaretz.

AP at 8:23am: Palestinian militants say two suicide bombers
who entered a southern Israeli town today came in through Egypt
after Gaza militants blew up Egypt's border wall with the territory
last month.
1 of the attackers killed an Israeli woman. The
other attacker was shot dead before he could detonate his explosives.
Israeli officials have feared the possibility
of bombers from Gaza entering through Egypt since the border wall
was breached.
[what a coincidence, they're worst fear came
true]
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians moved freely
between Gaza and Egypt's Sinai desert. Egypt managed to reseal
the border yesterday.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade first claimed
today's bombers came from the West Bank, but now says that statement
was a diversionary tactic. They say they didn't know initially
if the second bomber was still alive and wanted to confuse Israelis.
Once they confirmed the second bomber was dead, they said he
was from Gaza.
- From
AP at 5:37am ET: "We heard a large explosion and people
started to run. I saw pieces of flesh flying in the air," a witness
identified only by her first name, Revital, told Army Radio.
The Haaretz daily reported that the second attacker
was shot dead before he could explode himself.
Southern Israel has been on alert against militant
attacks since the Gaza Strip's Islamic Hamas rulers breached the
border with Egypt on Jan. 23. Egypt managed to reseal the border
only on Sunday.
The breach made Israel's Negev desert, where
Dimona is located, more vulnerable to penetration by Palestinian
militants who could enter through Egypt's Sinai desert. Dimona
is about 40 miles northeast of the porous Egyptian border. Last
week, Israel closed a number of popular hiking areas in the south
for fear of militant attacks.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility
for Monday's attack.
In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha said he did
not know whether his group was involved but that the attack was
justified. He also rejected suggestions that the bombing would
hurt Hamas' chances of reopening the border with Egypt.
So, let me get this straight - at first, no one claimed
responsibility for the attack, then three different groups clamored
to claim rights to this 'glorious operation.'
One of the groups then initially claimed that the attackers
were from the West Bank "as a diversionary tactic" but then retracted
that and admitted that he was from Gaza, ONLY after they were sure that
he was dead (so, he couldn't deny it).
Perfect sense. Not.
Clearly, this "operation" was planned and executed by
israelis in an attempt to demonstrate that any breach in Gaza's border
subjects them to deadly attacks from the "hordes of Arab suicide bombers"
that the wall holds back.
Moreover, it gives israelis a cart blanche to kill as
many Palestinians as they please in Gaza.
Finally, some accounts say one israeli was killed, others
say three
were killed. Which is it?
I'll bet the answer is closer to ZERO.
In fact, I challenge anyone to present a bona fide image
from a bona fide UNBIASED news source of any of the so-called israelis
that were killed today in the "suicide attack."
As usual, israelis are lying.
Indeed, another score for zionists.
