TWO TONGUES: Hamas says it's pulling out of the cease-fire and seems to blame it on the Israelis.

This after they've claimed responsibility for a grisly suicide attack yesterday that killed 20 innocents, and the Israelis have responded by executing one of the Hamas leaders.

The Israelis say simply, "Cease fire? We've never had a cease fire with terrorists."

Meanwhile, the PA sputters and threatens. (""We are going to take a new set of measures, measures not seen before in the last period of time," said a PA spokesman.)

We'll see. Thus far, Muslim extremists seem good at two things: 1) making really threatening threats, and 2) blowing themselves up.

In the meantime, I like the Israeli's strategy. With Abbas, talk diplomacy. With the terrorist scum, speak their language.
