Hatred begets violence.

After the Jerusalem bombing, Rantisi told The Associated Press from his hospital bed: “The Zionists will pay an expensive price for all of their crimes.” The bus attack “took place at a time when the Zionists were on utmost alert, more evidence that our people will not be defeated,” he said.

Jamil Hamdia cried as he carried his 11-year-old wounded cousin through Shifa Hospital and denounced Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, who has called for Palestinians to stop attacking Israelis.

“Where is Abu Mazen to come and see?” wailed Hamdia. “Are we cheap, to be killed like this? If that makes him a good leader I think his place is not among us.”
