Hamas calls halt to suicide bombings

[3days]

Hamas is to halt attacks on Israelis in the run-up to elections for a successor to the late Yasser Arafat, a senior leader of the militant group said yesterday. Sheikh Hassan Yousef said the group would consider a formal truce with Israel, suspending a trail of suicide bombings and other violence.

The Sheikh, who recently served a 28-month sentence in an Israeli jail, said yesterday: "Many political militant groups have halted their attacks. They are waiting and exploring the new era."

1. Oh,gee, how grateful I feel towards Hamas

that they have chosen to stop murdering innocent men, women, and children in pursuit of their agenda of wiping out Israel, kill all the Jews, and impose their extremist brand of Islam on the Palestinians.

We are not worthy!

5. no one wouldn't

it was a racist, murderous enterprise from the git-go.
nothing has changed, except the victims decided to fight back -- now every one boo-hoos because they don't play by ''the rules''.
