From the mouth of their mothers, they send them into the valley of the shadow of death willingly.

They recited the names of all the group’s previous attackers and talked about the “courage” of Mohammed Farhat, 19, who infiltrated the Israeli settlement of Gush Katif earlier this month, killing five Israelis before he was gunned down.

A few hours before his attack, he had called his mother from his mobile phone to ask her advice. His mother, Um Nidal, told me that she had replied: “Take care my son, remember God, repeat the verses, pay attention to everything you see, concentrate on the task ahead, pick your moment. May God bless you with success and may you be granted the martyrdom you deserve.

“Be strong, my boy, in this, your first major battle, and remember Allah in every move you make. Do not hesitate, my boy, and strike as harshly as you can against the enemy.” She then asked him to switch off his mobile for the last time.

Um Nidal stayed in front of her television waiting for news of her son’s attack, fearful that he might be injured, arrested and denied the “martyrdom” he sought.

She knew of her son’s selection for a mission a month in advance: “I cried for a whole month every time I looked at him. I would tell him not to let my tears stop him from going on his mission. I watched him like a baby that whole month.”

“My heart is not made of stone,” she added, but she had been “willing to sacrifice him for something more precious and sanctified than our earthly world”.

Tell me then, was it the Israeli occupation the reason that the Palestinians tried to destabilize Jordan in 1970's, or Lebanon after that?

Was it the Israeli "occupation" that caused the Palestinians to cheer Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, where they raped women and looted homes and business?

Was it the Israeli "occupation" that caused the "Palestinians" to march and rally in Ramallah after the World Trade Center was bombed and many Americans killed?

Time for you to wake up ET
