...Hamas, as we all know, is hardly opposed to suicide bombings. Yet when the boomerang returns, suddenly the attacks become "cowardly terror" actions perpetrated by "outlaws" and "intellectually and religiously and morally deviant" terrorists.

For Hamas, suicide bombings are a noble deed when they are carried out by its members and the victims are Jews.
