you cant really call it a suicide attack

"A Jewish Israeli man in an Israel Defense Forces uniform opened fire on passengers on a bus in a Druze neighborhood of the Israeli Arab town of Shfaram on Thursday afternoon, killing four people and wounding 12. The terrorist was killed by a mob that boarded the bus after the shooting... The attacker - Eden Natan-Zada, 19 - was a newly religious man" (link)

jewish leaders around the world were immediately pressured to issue a fatwah against the man. some leaders gave mealy-mouthed 'explanations but not justifications' but were immediately denounced by all the worlds leaders and the mainstream media. "there can be no justification or excuses" said Tony Blair. President Bush denounced terrorism everywhere and called on Sharon to shut down kibbutzi, which he called "incubators of evilology" - he continued "we will shut down the ability of these evil people to raise money". norm coleman and dick durbin choked on their breakfast cereal. Australia's John Howard agreed, adding that any jewish leader in australia who disagreed with the gaza pullout plan, or the purported extension of the RoadMap to the WestBank would be excommunicated from Australia. He finished thusly: "but you can understand how the guy was thinking - i mean, it *is* his homeland. he must have been really pissed. its a shame that he is dead, really. he didnt seem to have an escape plan, but you cant really call it a suicide attack. i mean, even if he'd shot himself afterwards, its not like he could be called a suicide bomber."
