The lives of the three Jews killed by a Gaza Strip Arab Monday are not worth Israel recognizing that the "ceasefire" with the "Palestinians" is a farce and should be scrapped.

So intimated Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, the man charged with securing his people against terrorism and war, after a "suicide" bomber blew himself up in an Eilat bakery.

What one of his officials said, after Olmert had met with Defense Minister Amir Peretz to discuss whether and how Israel should respond, is that some localized retaliatory operations might be allowed.

Israeli governments have frequently reacted in this no-response manner out of fear the violence could spin out of control an earn Israel further international censure.
