A firebrand Palestinian lawmaker known as the "mother of martyrs" who championed her sons' attacks on Israelis has died.

Health official Ashraf Al-Kidra says lawmaker Mariam Farhat died Sunday in a Gaza hospital of health complications including lung ailments and kidney failure.

Farhat, who was 64, lost three sons in militant activities against Israelis.

That’s one family reunion that will be a bummer......

Wait till she sees who Mudhammy really is.

Her new housemates call her now “firebrand” for eternity, and for a new reason.

She thought Gaza was hot....

It’s often misunderstood, but the Darwin Award is not just for killing yourself in spectacular fashion — it’s for removing yourself from the gene pool. We’ve got a winner here.

“militant activities”

We dare not call it “terrorism”. Mark Steyn says political correctness will kill us all.

A obituary that can be read with satisfaction.

“Farhat, who was 64”

Damn, that is pretty darned old in the Arab world. Something like 96-98 in the civilized world.

Any woman who finds it acceptable to consider her children’s blood as some kind of currency to be used in order to buy her way into her twisted concept of ‘heaven’ is wholly UNDESERVING of the title of *mother*.

That’s 448 in filthy koranimal years.

Unfortunately, it was natural causes. Someone will still blame the Mossad for her death though.

Thanks Borges.

We had a Farhat family in my town growing up. They were Christians . . . Lebanese I thought.
