Enough is enough...

I hope the Israelis are getting the message. The Palestinians have no intention of stopping their murder.

Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a group of hitchhikers Friday and killed one, the third Israeli slaying in a flare-up of violence that threatens a truce reached in February.

The drive-by attack also left four people wounded and highlighted the difficulties faced by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in trying to rein in militants in the Palestinian areas. Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon have been trying to quell more than four years of fighting and ensure a smooth Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in August.
