...supposed to represent hope for a new generation of young Israelis, its meltdown came last week in the form of a suicide bomber who targeted those very teenagers. Just before midnight Friday, an Islamic Jihad bomber slipped in among Israeli clubbers at a beachfront night spot in Tel Aviv and detonated his belt of explosives, blasting ball bearings, nails and screws through the crowd. Of the 18 Israelis who died, eight were age 16 or under. Only one was over 21. An additional 115 were injured, stretchered into hospitals in their sequined dance duds. It was the worst terrorist attack...
...attack on a nightclub in Tel Aviv's Dolphinarium, a former aquarium turned entertainment complex, sparked a frenzy of diplomatic action and angry demonstrations. Under international pressure to curb the killers, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat promised to do all he could to secure an "immediate and unconditional cease-fire." Israel's Cabinet didn't buy it.

And it was a rude awakening at that, as European Union diplomats twisted his arm until he cracked and went on Palestinian TV and, speaking in Arabic, condemned the terrorist attack that killed 20 Israelis outside a Tel Aviv nightclub on Friday and ordered his forces to cease firing...
Pink-slip parties have become regular events over the past year in San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver and Tel Aviv, Israel, where losing a job is actually the most pleasant type of firing taking place in that country. Back in March, I tried to go to one in Manhattan thrown by a group of Web consultants called the Hired Guns, but when I showed up at Rebar at 8 p.m. I found two guys with power tools and surgeon's masks taking the place apart. You don't have to be Alan Greenspan to know...
