Egyptian Hilton Bombed, collapses. Dozens dead.

[q]JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A huge blast tore through an Egyptian hotel used by vacationing Israelis at the border resort of Taba on Thursday, scattering dozens of bodies in what Israeli security sources said was a suspected bomb attack.

At least 23 people were killed in the attack on the Hilton hotel, just meters from the border crossing, said Arab television, quoting Egyptian sources.

The blast was followed shortly by explosions at two other resort towns in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula popular with Israelis. [/q]

So, this would be the terrorists attacking those Zionist settler pigs, trying to drive them off of.... Egyptian soil? :rolleyes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Lets ignore the sad waste of lives for a moment and go straight to the sheer stupidity of carrying out acts of terror in a country which actually supports your cause! :rolleyes:

Still if they were smart they would have figured out long ago that what they're doing isn't working.

Yeah, but y'know what? I honestly think they don't care, which in itself is incredibly idiotic. But then again, you're dealing with a bunch of radical, suicidal, sadistic fanatics. What do you expect?

Egypt's public may support the terrorists, but Egypt's government sure doesn't. They don't like them much precisely because this kind of thing used to happen all the time.
