Thanks for the clarification

I'm sure this will be a great comfort to their families:


The militant Islamic group Hamas denied on Thursday it had deliberately targeted U.S. citizens in a deadly bomb blast at a cafeteria frequented by foreign students at Jerusalem's Hebrew University.

[...]

"The fighter of Hamas did not ask the students about their identity cards and he can't do so. He does not know if they are Arab or Israelis. But we are not targeting at all American targets," Abdel Azziz al-Rantissi, a senior leader of the Palestinian group, told Reuters.


Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure we all understand how tough it is to be in the suicide bombing business. Bastards.

This means Afghanistan did some good. If they didn't fear us, they wouldn't bother denying it.

I'm going to play with Hamas' own words to justify the bombing of Gaza City:

"The F-16 fighter of the IDF did not ask the apartment block residents about their identity cards and he can't do so. He does not know if they are globally-recognized, self-avowed leaders of terrorist organizations or civilians illegally used under the Geneva Convention as human shields. But we are not targeting at all Palestinian targets,"

Success! Can we kill them all and let Allah sort them out now?
