14-year-old Husam Abdu, losing his chance to cavort with the virgins last March
It seems that the teenage suicide bombers had teenage recruiters. From Reuters, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm and Nicolei:
JERUSALEM: A 15-year-old Palestinian boy was charged by the Israeli military on Tuesday with recruiting teenagers to become suicide bombers.Nasser Awartani is accused of enlisting a 16-year-old who blew himself up at a military checkpoint and a 14-year-old who was caught with an explosives belt.
The 12 charges on the indictment submitted to the military court include attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
The older boy blew himself up last October after telling Awartani that he “wishes to carry out an attack in the name of God,” the charge sheet said.
Awartani, of the West Bank city of Nablus, was photographed with him before the attack.
The 14-year-old was caught at an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank in March.
Soldiers defused his explosives belt by remote control. The incident was broadcast around the world.
The case sparked a big outcry by Palestinians against militants' efforts to recruit teenagers who might more easily evade Israeli security checks.
Awartani, one of the youngest Palestinians to be charged with involvement in suicide bombings, recruited for the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah Movement and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
As usual, the UN is silent on this issue, the murder of innocent children. Why the UN silence...all the time...the silence is deafening. I just read that Condolezza Rice is collecting money for the Palestinians. Where are the killers of the 3 Americans? Why is she collecting to "help" them when they celebrate our destruction? Seems like dhimmitude to me.
Isn’t it hard to be a child in Palestine? This IDF shall leave kids alone to watch TV instead of chasing them around and man handling them. I have never seen a child with such muscles.
Isnt it hard to be a child in Israel? The coward terrorist palestinians should leave little girls alone to travel with their mother instead of lying in wait and shooting them point blank until there are only body parts to find. I had never seen children with so many bullet holes.
Of coarse!!!
It is very obvious that blowing oneself up is the only way to have sex with 72 virgins. There is no virgins in the middle east as they are all molested by their 65 yr old muslim clerics.
Mohammed would have to register himself as a sex offender.
As a long-time admirer of the Jewish people and supporter of the state of Israel, I have always taken the Jews to be a pattern for my own life and my relationship with the Almighty. Now, as I watch prophetic events unfold in Israel, I am stimulated to believe that it is time American patriots learned a policy lesson from the Jews and applied Israel's solutions to our own domestic crisis. I am of course talking about the negro/Afro minority amongst our beloved nation, as well as the aliens from Mexico who threaten to inundate us at our border.
Increasingly, predominately black cities in America are no-go zones for Americans. We are raped, robbed, assaulted and even killed when we go there and these terror acts spill over into non-black towns and cities. As a result, Americans are not safe on their own land! Meanwhile, Catholic peons from Mexico invade our country, undermine the Protestant character of our nation and perpetrate more crime and terrorism. There would seem to be no end in sight to the violence committed by these groups and the violence must end! The Israelis use the following methods for curtailing Palestinian violence, and we should do as these Chosen People of God Almighty do!
Closure
Cities with a Palestinian majority are sealed. The Arabs are not allowed to leave their towns and they may not enter Israel for employment or any other reason except certain cases of medical emergency. We in America need to do the same. Whenever there are clashes with our police and an outburst of violence from Afros or Latinos in America, we should seal ghettos and barrios the way Israel sealed the Palestinian cities at the beginning of 2001. This way we can enjoy relative security, while collectively punishing all the blacks and Mexicans for the violent clashes their leaders agitate and condone. I recommend this for Christian Europe as well. When violence erupts, Germans can close predominately Turkish towns in Germany, the French can close African areas of France and the British can seal Brixton, closing access by minorities to the outside world for months on end, like Israel does.
Demolition
Once having closed these areas, American intelligence agents can pinpoint the homes of the most violence-prone black and Mexican gang-members and rioters and demolish their homes, leaving their families on the street where they belong. The Israelis have had great success doing this for years to the Palestinians. House demolition is a real deterrent not soon forgotten!
Entrenchment
After closure and demolition, entrenchment is the next step. In late February and early March of 2001 the Israelis completed excavation of a two meter deep ditch encircling the Palestinian city of Jericho. The entrenchment of other Palestinian cities is under way. This ditch prevents not only cars driven by violent Palestinians from leaving Jericho and entering Israel, it keeps any Palestinian from driving any car out of the town without permission from Israeli authorities. This is a fabulous idea for Watts, Harlem, the south side of Chicago, east L.A. and many other areas in America with a predominately Afro or Mexican population. It is a well-known fact that, like the Palestinians, minorities in America are fond of using automobiles in the commission of crimes of violence. We can prevent this by digging a deep ditch around their communities, just like the Israelis do!
Shoot Violent Minorities
Any time a black or Mexican child throws a stone at an American they should be shot! If a few hundred black or Mexican children are killed by police and vigilantes in America every year, it is their parents' fault for allowing their children to be out in the streets.
The US State Department reports that in the year 2000, Israel shot more than 11,000 violent Palestinians, including hundreds of violence-prone Palestinian children. Almost 400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, were killed by Israeli troops and vigilante settlers.
We need to implement these Jewish policies in the US. We have muzzled our police and militia for too long in the face of black and Latino violence. Let's teach these coloreds in America the way the Israelis are teaching those heathen, camel riding, sand niggers in Palestine!
Cite the Example of God's Chosen
When advocating the implementation of these measures in America, be sure to tell your Congressman, teacher, pastor or media person that you have learned these tactics from Israel, and that this is the best solution for ending minority violence, as most Jewish solutions are. Minorities and aliens have a few rights, but these must be reasonably balanced against America's security, because our "security must remain a paramount concern."
To ensure the success of our campaign to make America as secure as Israel, it is important to stress the teaching role model of Israel. If you do not, there is a good chance that you will be denounced and obstructed by human rights activists and other liberal types.
By citing the Israeli model you can win powerful allies to our cause. Human rights groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Morris Dees' SPLC, the Wiesenthal Center and the media, will not condemn our plan for minority and alien crime control if they know we are only doing as Israel does.
For example, the N.Y. Times of March 14, 2001 (p. A-24), put the blame for the deaths of all 400 Palestinians entirely on the Palestinian leaders, and not on the Jewish vigilantes and troops who shot the Palestinians! Take a cue from God's holy Jew: when our militia and vigilantes need to gun down violent minorities and aliens, use N.Y. Times logic -- blame the killings on "the confrontational strategy" of Jesse Jackson and Ceasar Chavez!
Without the Israeli parallel, our platform to counter minority violence would be smeared as racist and neo-Nazi. However, as soon as the media and the human rights groups understand that we are merely imitating the holy state of Israel, our program will be immune from all but token criticism!
After all, the Israelis have been able to implement these measures against the Arab minority with impunity; without incurring any meaningful protest from Dees, the ADL, Wiesenthal or the media. In fact, these groups assist Israel in one form or another in her noble campaign to end Palestinian violence at all costs, as the distinguished Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has vowed.
In an effort to keep Israel safe from violence, Sharon himself has had to kill thousands of minority and alien civilians in Israel and Lebanon. We can do the same in America to the violent minorities and aliens here, if we would but emulate the sacred policies of God's Chosen People. If it's good for Israel, it's good for America too! Praise the Lord!
"The Palestinian intifada is a war of national liberation. We Israelis enthusiastically chose to become a colonialist society, ignoring international treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the occupied territories, engaging in theft and finding justification for all these activities ... we established an apartheid regime." Michael Ben-Yair, Israeli attorney general in the1990s, quoted in The Guardian (U.K.), April 11, 2002
Wake up you Hate mongers, who attempt to demonise Islam in order to justify your own crimes against humanity! Had the opinions on this website reflected the nature of Christianity Judaism or the west it would ultimately be branded bigotry and racism! I suggest you all do some soul searching and realise your enemy is closer than you think… Until every man is equal and freedom for every man prevails I say WAR until that day WAR against those who have uprooted my land, killed my people and made ME a refugee!! Free Palestine down with Zionism!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Do groups like the KKK or people like Hitler who are Christians (and use their faith to justify their terrorist crimes) represent the ENTIRE Christian faith? only logic has the answer...
Anonymouse, Hitler's crimes were not justified by his Christian faith. He was not actually a Christian. He was baptized as a child but never practiced the faith. His crimes were justified by a pagan, anti-Christian National Socialist ideology. The KKK uses Christian terminology, but no Church anytime anywhere has ever endorsed its theological perspectives. The situation is very different in Islam, where terrorists justify themselves by reference to a broad theological and legal tradition.
