"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The Palestinian Interior Minister spoke out against suicide bombings and violece.

In an interview with the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper before the Gaza killings, Yahya called on militants to "return to the legitimate struggle against the occupation, without violence." "Suicide attacks are contrary to the Palestinian tradition, are against international law and harm the Palestinian people," he was quoted as saying. "It is not necessary to respond or take revenge for every act. Both sides must act with restraint."

Strong words for someone in is position. Heck, Reuters, the AP, NY Times ABC, NBC, CBS, all British media and the UN all won't even come right out and call it a crime against international law.
