#1 DEBKA: At least five dead, 55 injured â 6 critically - in Palestinian suicide bombing attack Monday at entrance to Netanyaâs Sharon shopping mall. Jihad Islami has released videotape of suicide killer Lutfi Amin Abu Sami, 21, from Rai Village near Jenin, on the West Bank. Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades deny earlier claim of responsibility broadcast by Al Arabiya TV.

The bomber was prevented from entering the mall by suspicious security guards and bystanders. When police told him to take his hand out of his pocket, the terrorist blew himself up in the crowd at the mallâs entrance, which has become known as the Cursed Gate. Three policemen are among the wounded.

Netanya, which lies on the Mediterranean between Tel Aviv and Haifa, has been attacked by Palestinian bombers several times in the last five years for multiple casualty strikes. A suicide bomber killed five Israelis near the same spot outside the mall in summer.

#2 Why is it an Israel Suicide Bomb? Did the suicide bomb belong to Israel? Was it manufactured by Israel? Based on this logic we should talk about the German Bombing of Dresden and the Japanese Nuking of Hiroshima dn Nagasaki.

#3 So when are West Bank mosques gonna spontaneously combust? When are Jenin apartment blocks gonna collapse from 155mm seismic activity. Overwhelming repisals are all they understand. Weakness invites more dead shoppers.

#4 Abbas can't disarm the terrorists.

He also can't clean up corruption; can't stop the criminal gangs that control many west bank towns; etc.

However, I'm under the impression that a segment of his own security team does provide the IDF with actionable intel on IJihad from time to time. This is more or less a matter of self defense for Abbas.
