Thursday news roundup

Watch the British reaction now: The woman who died was a British tourist. Watch for the sudden condemnation of Palestinian terror attacks from the British media. No, let’s get serious. They’ll blame Israel for the death. Also in the article: There are two PIJ members under arrest by the PA. The PIJ has gone into hiding. Never fear. The IDF will get them.

This is what a hero look like: The man who noticed the bomb and saved dozens of lives speaks from his hospital bed, where he is badly injured. Don’t forget that the animals that create the bomb surround it with metal ball bearings, nails, and shrapnel to cause the greatest amount of damage possible. It’s not just the heat and concussion that kill. I wrote about that in 2006. And before that, in 2002, where I found an article that has X-rays of terror victims, where you can see the metal throughout their bodies.

Amuyal, whose call to the police just seconds before the blast most likely saved lives, is suffering from a fractured pelvis, steel pellets have penetrated his body and shrapnel is deeply embedded in his left hand and leg.

Refuah shlemah to you and the other victims, David.

The AP reads my blog: The headline on their current story about Israel actually mentions the right cause and effect:

Gaza militants rocket Israel, drawing reprisals

Of course, the earlier headline blamed Israel:

Israel retaliates for deadly blast, rocket attacks

The blame-Israel crew is alive and well at AP headquarters. I’m not worried that I’ll have to find something else to write about.
