Hudna? What Hudna?
Today's suicide bombings are barely an escalation of Palestinian terrorism over the course of the so called 'hudna'. Looks like the tanks will be back in before the weekend, all because Abu Mazen and Arafat love Saudi cash more than the lives of their people.

— Aug. 12: Two suicide bombings less than an hour apart kill at least two Israelis and injure about a dozen people in a central Israel town and a West Bank Jewish settlement.

— Aug. 8: An Israeli is shot by Hamas terrorists the city of Nablus.

— Aug. 3: A Palestinian gunman ambushes an Israeli car near the West Bank town of Bethlehem, badly wounding a woman and her 9-year-old daughter and slightly injuring two other children.

— July 28: The body of an Israeli soldier who had been missing for a week is found in northern Israel. Police investigators suspect the 20-year-old serviceman was kidnapped and murdered by Arabs.

— July 15: A Palestinian stabs an Israeli man to death as he sits with his girlfriend on a Mediterranean beach promenade near the seaport of Jaffa.

— July 7: A suicide bomber from Islamic Jihad blows up inside a house in central Israel, killing a 65-year-old woman.

— June 30: A Palestinian gunman murders a Bulgarian laborer of an Israeli construction crew.

— Eight were killed on the Palestinian side: four were killed attacking Israeli troops, two blew themselves up in a bomb factory, and one was shot by Israeli border police when he failed to stop at a road block.

- One Palestinian was murdered by Palestinian militants who accused him of collaborating with Israel.

— In addition, there have been 120 shooting incidents in the West Bank and 10 mortars fired on Israeli targets in the Gaza Strip since the 'cease-fire' was declared.
