A crazed Palestinian homicide bomber killed 5 and injured 40 in Netanya, Israel today. The Palestinian Authority reacted with talk but no action. In the following quotes from the BBC, whom do you believe?:

Mr Abbas condemned the Netanya bombing as an act of “terrorism” and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said the attack “harms Palestinian interests” and called on both sides to maintain the ceasefire declared in February.

But a spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said the Palestinian Authority had failed to act against militants.

“They refuse to dismantle the terror organisations and put them out of business once and for all. And we’ve seen these results today in Netanya,” said spokesman David Baker.

The truth: the PA has done nothing yet to “bring the perpetrators to justice.” The facts speak for themselves:

• 5 Dec: Five die, Netanya
• 26 Oct: Six die, Hadera market
• 28 Aug: 20 hurt, Beersheba
• 12 July: Two die, Netanya
• 25 Feb: Five die, 50 hurt, outside Tel Aviv nightclub
