In January, Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist organization, became the leading party of Palestine. Obviously, this horrified most people in the Western world, though it did have some advantages. One is that most nations said that they would stop supporting Palestine is Hamas tried to do any more suicide bombings, being that legitimate governments don’t endorce suicide bombings. Well, today Hamas did a big no-no. A suicide bomb exploded in Tel Aviv today killing at least 8 (according to The New York Times). Obviously, this is a terrible, terrible thing, but, if you can believe it, things got worse. Hamas defended the atack, claiming that it could be justified. Because of this, the European Union has caught off relations with Hamas, and the U.S. has condemned the bombing and warned Hamas that there would be grave consequences for their actions. Abbas, who is Prime Minister of Palestine from the opposing Fatah Party has also condemned the bombing, but he is basically powerless in the Palestinian government.The bombing was the most deadly in over a year, and is a harsh psychological blow to Israel. The only thing I can’t understand, though, is why there were so many Israelis at a falafel place during Passover?
