WELL-SAID: On today's addition to the list of suicide bombings in Israel since the second intifada began, the following statements from Ha'aretz seem appropriate:

Based on what's being said both within the PA and by other Palestinian public figures, it seems that the condemnations and disgust with the suicide attackers are a genuine reflection of the immediate mood. But that is still a long way from the moment when the Israeli public will be persuaded that the Palestinian people and its leaders are indeed turning their back on the terrorist ways nurtured over the past years. Many now speak of the need to foil such attacks and prevent them, but that's not enough if a large segment of the Palestinian public continues to glorify terrorism and sanctify its perpetrators.
As long as the terror groups are not denounced and real pressure is not applied to end their activities, the people of Israel will find it difficult to take seriously condemnations by the PA. Security reforms in the PA are a necessary step for making the war on terror more efficient, but Palestinian public opinion also needs to change. Even those who believe that it's not Israel's business to reorganize the PA, have the right to expect that the PA be a responsible, representative organization that can be a true partner for political dialogue.
