From the Palestine Times, which is a Hamas mouthpiece:
We missed these scenes for a long time: The joy of the West Bank after the bombing in Jerusalem
Having missed the scenes of the explosions and operations that targeted Zionist buses in Jerusalem for years...
Despite condemnation by the Fatah leadership, headed by President Mahmoud Abbas and his Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and described that operation as "terrorist", there was joy in the street despite the pain experienced in the cities of the West Bank.
Upon hearing the news of a bus bombing in Jerusalem, citizens hurried to the coffee shops to follow up on television news channels and radio stations to track the latest developments.
Abu Mohammed from Nablus, sitting in a café, said: "By God, it's about time for such operations, which warms our hearts and the hearts of all who [suffer] from the oppression of the occupier recently."
He added: "The occupation only understands the language of force and blood. The netanyahu government claims they want peace in public, but carries out massacres against the Palestinian people everywhere. "
Joseph, 20, from Ramallah, said as he put headphones on his ears to listen to the radio for news on the blast: "This is surely a response to the massacre carried out by the occupation authorities in the Gaza Strip, that claimed the eight martyrs, including 3 children."
He added: "The Palestinian people have become convinced that the Netanyahu government only understands the language of force and operations such as what happened today in Jerusalem."
"The people want the return of martyrdom operations .. people want to end the occupation."
There are those who expressed their joy of such events. Samira from Ramallah: "When I saw the breaking news on one of the satellite TV news and there was an explosion on Jerusalem, the joy made my heart stop."
A young man recalled happy memories of Tulkarm for operations similar to what happened today...
Others Palestinian citizens went into social networking sites like Facebook and forums on the World Wide Web, to express their joy and the news firsthand. The majority stressed our people's right to respond to crimes of the occupation.

Israel Continues Aid to Gaza While Terror Rages
It is most interesting to see how the mainstream media's initial breaking stories betray their inherent anti-Israel bias. Then when their attention is called to this, they quietly change their articles, without acknowledging the initial bias.
For the second time in three weeks, Reuters has shown what they really think of Israel.
On March 12, Reuters referred to the IDF as "Israel's occupation forces" - an anti-Israel term used by Arabs only. They silently corrected that.
This time, Reuters headlined its story about the terror attack today this way:
Jerusalem bombing kills woman after 7-year lull
And then it says:
Police said it was a "terrorist attack" -- Israel's term for a Palestinian strike. It was the first time Jerusalem had been hit by such a bomb since 2004.
I grabbed this from the Reuters-UK feed, because the American version was quickly changed (and the UK version might be changed by the time I post this.). The headline is now
Bomb explodes near Jerusalem bus, 1 dead, 30 hurt
and the other sentence has been turned into a lie:
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the explosion, which Israeli police termed a Palestinian "suicide attack."
No one said this was a suicide bombing!
But back to the initial headline. Reuters is saying that there has been a seven year lull in bombings in Jerusalem.
This is not only a lie, but it is intentionally misleading.
The last suicide attack in Jerusalem was in September, 2004. But there have been other suicide bombings in Israel since then, as recently as 2008 (Dimona.)
But let's say that Reuters is only talking about Jerusalem, for some reason, as if terror attacks there are different than those in the rest of Israel. The last fatal terror attack in Jerusalem was a man being knifed to death in October, 2008, and in July 2008 three Jerusalem Jews were killed by a terrorist who rammed into them with a bulldozer.
But let's say that Reuters is only referring to roadside bombs. There was a pipe-bomb in Gilo, Jerusalem only a couple of weeks ago, and a sanitation worker lost his arm in the explosion. Obviously the intent was to kill there as well.
So Reuters, by seemingly referring only to the lack of major, fatal bombings in Jerusalem itself as a "lull," was consciously trying to minimize the number of terror attacks in Jerusalem - in the headline of an article about the latest attack!
Not to mention that Reuters pooh-poohs the term "terrorist attack" as some sort of Israeli propaganda when a mere 38 people are injured and only one dead. Reuters instead refers to it in more military terms: a "Palestinian strike." No doubt the lady who was killed was a legitimate military target as well, in Reuters' writers' minds.
They say that you can find out how people really think when they are drunk or sleepy. In reuters' case, you can see how they really feel in the initial bulletins after Jews are killed.

Luton England Funds Terrorists
This is the problem. If it were just a few fringe extremists, the world would not be fighting this pox on humanity with enormous, incalculable resources.
And what, pray tell, are the 'moderates' up to? Building a victory mega-mosque at Ground Zero, of course, and propagandizing blasphemy (Islamic law) as "islamophobia."
Muslims in bomber's town get £500,000 to combat terror... but don't give police a single tip-off Daily Mail
Muslim groups in the town where the Stockholm suicide bomber lived have been handed more than £550,000 of taxpayers’ money to combat extremism but have failed to tip off police about a single terror suspect.
The grants were handed out to mosques, schools and women’s projects by Luton council to prevent young Muslims being radicalised.
Under the Home Office’s Preventing Violent Extremism scheme, Islamic organisations are given money to stop members turning to violence. The groups are urged to reveal the names of those likely to commit violent crimes so they can be put on an ‘at-risk’ list by police.
But the Daily Mail has learnt that – despite £554,000 being given to groups in Luton since 2008 – not a single name has been handed over.
It comes as the PVE scheme has been put under review by the Government for being ineffective after it was revealed a huge amount of the money simply went to sports and arts groups.
The Luton Islamic Centre, where Taimour Abdulwahab Al-Abdaly preached before being banned, refused to sign up as leaders did not want to inform on their ‘Muslim brothers and sisters’.
Iraq-born Al-Abdaly studied in Luton for several years and became obsessed with extremism while in the UK. He blew up his car then himself in Stockholm last Saturday, the day before his 29th birthday. Swedish authorities said he ‘missed causing a catastrophe by minutes’.
Islamic Centre chairman Qadeer Baksh said: ‘The reason we didn’t take the Government money for the Preventing Violent Extremism scheme is that it requires us to inform on fellow Muslims.

‘If we had taken the money our members would have seen us as working for the Government. The young men with radical views would not have listened to us.
‘I have never called the police or authorities on anyone.’
The PVE scheme was set up by then Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly in 2007, with most of the recipients of its £86million fund being from traditional Labour areas such as Birmingham, East London and West Yorkshire.
It was revealed last year that £129,000 had been awarded to a theatre company, £79,000 for sports coaching, £20,000 for fashion courses and £20,000 to art workshops in areas with large Muslim communities.

Christmas Shopper Bomber a British Citizen
Sweden suicide bomber: Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly was living in Britain Telegraph
An Islamic suicide bomber who attacked Christmas shoppers in Sweden at the weekend is a British university graduate and was living in this country until two weeks ago.
Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly tried to set off a car bomb packed with gas canisters in a busy shopping street in Stockholm. The car caught fire and the bomber fled the scene before blowing himself up 300yd away 15 minutes later, injuring two bystanders.
A fairytale ending to that suicide bomber.
It emerged last night that Abdulwahab, who was due to turn 29 yesterday, is a former physical therapy student at Bedfordshire University in Luton, and that his wife and three young children still live in the town.
MI5 is now investigating possible links with extremists in Luton, whether the bomber was radicalised at the university and claims that he was helped by an extremist group in Yemen, the base for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
The suicide bombing follows an attempt by Umar Farouq Abdulmutallab, a former student at University College London, to blow himself up last Christmas on a flight to Detroit.
Abdulmutallab had trained in Yemen, but had become increasingly radical during his time in Britain. The security services and police are concerned that British university campuses have become breeding grounds for extremism. Neighbours told The Daily Telegraph last night that they had last seen Abdulwahab at the 1930s semi-detached house in Luton, Beds, two and a half weeks ago. The couple have two young girls and a baby son. His wife, Mona, a Swedish citizen, is said to run a home beauty company.
Tahir Hussain, 33, a taxi driver who lives nearby, said: “I used to see him around often. He didn’t say much but seemed nice. I used to see him walking with his kids.
“I was shocked when I heard what happened because I never thought he could do such a thing.”
Mr Hussain said that the couple had been living there for a year and that Abdulwahab used to go to Friday prayers at the Islamic Centre in Luton.
Every Islamic attack has the imprimatur of a Muslim cleric. Every Muslim terrorist has a mosque he frequents.
The bomber had recently advertised on a Muslim dating site for a second wife, saying he was looking for a “lady 25-30 who lives in UK for marriage”. The site, Muslima.com, said he was born in Baghdad, Iraq, and moved to Sweden in 1992 and then to Britain in 2001 to study for a degree in physical therapy, marrying in 2004.
On his Facebook page, he included a group called Yawm al-Qiyaamah, meaning Day of Judgment, that featured a montage of Tower Bridge in flames.[..]
Carl Bildt, the Swedish foreign minister, said it was “a most worrying attempt at a terrorist attack”, adding that it “failed – but could have been truly catastrophic”. Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said: “The Swedish government have indicated they believe this was a terrorist attack. We will be talking to them about the details of that attack.”
Abdulwahab’s father, Thamer, 61, who lives in Tranås, south of Stockholm, said his son had been at the family home on Friday.

Muslims Planning Bombing of Washington METRO
A man has been arrested over a plot to bomb subway stations in the US capital.
Farooque Ahmed, 34, of Ashburn, Virginia was conspiring with people he believed were from al-Qaeda, the Department of Justice said.
Mr Ahmed was taken into custody on Wednesday morning. If convicted he faces up to 50 years in prison.
The suspect allegedly conducted surveillance of a metro station in Arlington, on the outskirts of Washington, DC, on four occasions.
"It's chilling that a man from Ashburn is accused of casing rail stations with the goal of killing as many Metro riders as possible through simultaneous bomb attacks," said US attorney Neil MacBride.
"Today's arrest highlights the terrorism threat that exists in northern Virginia and our ability to find those seeking to harm US citizens and neutralise them before they can act."

Yemen: Bloggers Last Post Accuses Govt of Terror
Do we dare hope that President Obama will call for international condemnation and a UN investigation into the death of this truthtelling blogger (a role the media discarded long ago)? Don't nosespray -- that's the way it should work. At least it did after 911, under the pro-American Bush administration's Bush Doctrine (you are either with us, or aganst us). It sounds like a foreign language now under a president contemptous of America's greatness.
Under Bush, any government aiding and abetting al qaeda, or any jihadist, was an enemy of the USA; today these same jihadist killers are Obama's allies.
This speaks to the role of bloggers and the risks they take because a quisling media is carrying water for the most radical, intolerant ideology in the world.
Yemeni blogger Nashwan Ghanem in last post before "suicide," accuses Yemeni gov't of complicity in al-Qaeda attack on US Embassy Jane at MPJ (hat tip Armaros
Nashwan Ghanem was found dead of an "apparent suicide" by gun in Ibb today. These are his last posts, on his fourth blog, the one they didn't know he had. The other three sites were shut down by the Yemeni authorities. He had been writing me for some time, saying they were trying to kill him. Nashwan accused leaders of the Yemeni military of complicity in the al Qaeda attack on the US embassy in Sept '08. That post brought a 24 month avalanche of state harassment and retribution.
On 11/20/08, Menassat published an article, "Yemen: Website blocked, blogger harassed." In January the next year, Nashwan published an article at AOL, Yemen: Fattening Generals and Killing Bloggers
His recent posts don't sound suicidal to me:
October 3, 2010, In an attempt to silence my voice permanently
So now my life in danger, every day brings worse than the other ... If I did not write this on my blog, be sure that everything is over .. and that Yemeni authorities had ruled my life without knowing this one (the blog) !!
I carry full responsibility for what will happen to my life, that security and military figures accused of involvement in the attack and the attack on the U.S. embassy in Sanaa on September 17, which has assault and battery against me and threatening me with death if I went back to writing about these characters!!
In his last post, Nashwan is sounding like a guy who knows he's targeted for death and doesn't want to die, not someone about to take his own life.
October 11, 2010!! URGENT: Power Yemen kidnapping blogger Yemeni Nashwan Ghanem under the pretext of charge!!
Having failed to kidnap me on October 11, hospital men to have a car license plate that wanted to force into the car, here is today any...
It's authority is not ashamed of itself at all, This authority is used to produce scandals of the world, as well as it will carry the full responsibility of what will happen to me and the characters the military I accused of involvement in the attack on the U.S. embassy in Sanaa on September 17, 2008, which came from before the abduction and beating and threatening death!!
