A Palestinian narrowly avoids being killed when a bomb placed under the seat of
his car detonates in Damascus. Three people are injured, damage is caused to the
surrounding area and the vehicle is destroyed. The finger of blame for planting
the bomb points towards Israel, and the involvement of Mossad or its agents.
A senior Israeli official calls such accusations, "nonsense", but there is
compelling prima-facie evidence of their involvement in the attempted murder
of the man, said to be a member of Hamas.
Israel has made it very clear that it will hunt down Hamas members whenever and
wherever it finds them, and a security source is reported as having admitted
that Israel was behind a similar attack on Syrian soil in September 2004 which
killed its target and injured others. The Israeli government will neither officially confirm nor deny it is behind the
bombings in Syria, and with the potential of innocent civilians being killed
and injured as a result of such activities it's not hard to see why.
Extra-judicial assassination is one thing ( and something both Israel and
America sanction, indulge in and celebrate ), but to have no care for those
innocent civilians who die and are injured when using such cowardly means of
'law enforcement' is deeply offensive, not to say hypocritical.
Using indiscriminate bombs and missiles in foreign countries to murder
suspects ( and that's all they are without due process of law - suspects ) in
the midst of a civilian population is nothing short of terrorism.
While waging their so-called wars on terrorism, both Israel and America are
seen to be gleefully indulging in it themselves.
