Kudos to Orna Mimran!
With her bare hands! What a gal! But this only lends more support to my theory that the most deadly force in the world is a mother whose family is being threatened.
Wasn't it Patton who said, "No one ever won a war by dying for his country." I've perhaps cleaned up the language a tad.
The Japanese at the end of WWII were sacrificing young boys to become Kamakazies...I think the recent use of females as suicide bombers only illustrates how desperate the situation is for them, and how very close they are to losing.
The recent rash of child abductions and killings don't seem to have any connection with terrorism-just the garden variety monsters who prey on children.Unless I'm missing something.
Of course you are missing something! Unless you are a terrorist, you miss the converstions that might or might not be taking place in those cell meetings. ;)
I'm mearly commenting on the sudden recent rash of these types of events, and now evidence that some terrorist do use such tactics in the ME. And on the relativly few dead terrorists that is results from such acts. I mean they don't blow 19 of their number in one morning like on 911, nor do they throw away their lives on suicide/homicide bombings, but they do put an element of terror in society in a remarkably efficient manner.
You and Yassir may know that, serpent, but apparently the Israeli spirit does not.
Besides, it's all Israeli territory, earned in war.
No country in history has ever been forced willingly to return territory won in battle, and earned with flesh and blood.
Deal with it.
I have a weakness for the Cranach.
"In the previous attacks, three high school students were murdered on May 28, while Rachel Shabo, three of her children, and Yosef Tuito were murdered on June 20"
This is who the Israelis have to "negotiate" with. This is what the Isralis have to deal with every frickin' day. Yet when Israel retaliates by assasinating a known terrorist chief responsible for planning numerous attacks against Israeli children, and they inadvertantly kill Palestinian children, I see news agency after news agency all but blaming Israel for destroying "peace talks" with Palestinian organizations that are painted by sh*trags like the Washington Post as all but running to the peace table. If I weren't so livid, I'd find it hilarious how distorted the "news" is.
Will you be my friend?
Point out Yasser Arafat to Orna and give her a knife!!
