I WANT TO EAT A NUT OF LAERMA!

"AND NOW IT'S UP TO US, TO BLOW UP THE BUS!"

Proving that Christmas goodwill on the part of the Palestinian leadership is a delusional myth of naive people, homicide bomber Saed Kamal Hanani sent himself to Hell by murdering four Israelis and injuring 15 others at a bus stop in Petah Tikva, near Tel Aviv. Fortunately, though, Saed Kamal Hanani proved to be a relatively inept 'splodeydope by 'splodeydope standards as he doesn't seem to have figured out that he would have actually been able to take out a lot more people if he actually got on the bus, as some early reports indicated he did.

So my Christmas wish to Saed Kamal Hanani is... enjoy the lake of fire you find yourself in, because you'll have to get used to it eventually, being there for eternity, after all. And... aww... Hanani's family won't be getting any fat $25 000 cheques from Saddam Hussein anytime soon.

Anyhow, this doesn't prove that the Wall and other defensive measures taken by the cool Israelis are a failure; on the contrary, they've stopped 22 other 'splodeydopes from doing similar such attacks since October. You'll never be able to stop 100% of 'splodeydopes, but one attack is a lot less worse than 23 attacks.

Meanwhile, Israel gave the world a wonderful Christmas gift by taking out one of the bad guys in a car with a helicopter attack; Palestine Islamic Jihad chief Makled Hamid will apparently be joining Saed Kamal Hanani in the lake of fire, and, no, sorry guys, "For one day we all stop burning, and the flames are not so thick. All the screaming and the torture stops as we wait for old Saint Nick." is just a South Park song.

By the way, the headline refers to a children's parody Christmas song, but, I guess, it's only a local anglophone Montreal one, as I can't find it mentioned anywhere else on the Internet. "Joy to the world, the school burned down. And all the teachers too. And now it's up to us, to blow up the bus, and then there'll be no school, and then there'll be no school, and then, and then there'll be no school." I know it wasn't quite a bus attack, but close enough, since I've been waiting to use that headline.
