a double blow: to Israelis who

show restraint and to fellow
Palestinians quietly earning a living in
one of the few places where Israeli-
Palestinian cooperation still thrives.

ist to be used by the leading
Palestinian Islamist group, struck

Israel, inside a terminal where Gazan

attack, saying that continued Israeli
"This

tion by Palestinian terrorists, which hits
them in their very own bread basket,"
said David Baker of Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon's office, referring to some
3,000 Palestinians who work at the vari-
ous factories in the Erez industrial park.
The park was shuttered after the attack.
Hamas had seemed dormant for
months, leading some analysts to specu-
late that it had made a strategic decision
to halt attacks, at least in Israel proper.
That theory sat well with calls from
some in the Palestinian Authority for a
new, passive policy whereby they would
focus less on fighting for an independ-
ent state and instead would threaten to
seek Israeli citizenship, eventually turn-
ing the Jewish state into an Arab one
through sheer demographic force.
But on Wednesday, Hamas made it
clear that terrorist attacks had been lim-
ited only because of Israeli security pre-
cautions, including the fence, analysts
said. So successful are Israeli security
personnel these days at spotting suicide
bombers that the Islamists have been
forced to reverse their ideological oppo-
sition to allowing women to become
martyrs," they said.
"It is Hamas and Islamic Jihad that
should stand trial at The Hague for war
crimes, not Israel," Sharon spokesman
Ra'anan Gissin told reporters, referring
to hearings on Israel's security fence to
be held next month at the International
Court of Justice. The hearings were
scheduled at the Palestinians' behest. ❑
