<naïve one has to be to believe that Palestinians are killing themselves? What would stop someone to stage a mock suicide bombing and blame it on Palestinians?> I think that most of the suicide bombings have always been owned by Al Martyr's Fatah Brigade or Hamas. In this battle of blowing body parts and eating enemy organs the race to the bottom is actively and proudly participated. I think it would be naive to believe any other thing. One more reason Mr. Saddam's 25,000 US $ a soul are being paid to the families of the 'martyrs' to encourage this further. Human life should not be ridiculed and self-blown for paltry sums or futile exercise, no cause is big enough that ridicules our very selective natural course and history of evolution and life. Life is a very precious gift of God and it is through non-violent means that we have told to air our disputes and resolve them fully understanding occasion where we need to withdraw or press advantage.

When someone blows themselves up in a public place, with ample witnesses, and the deed is proudly claimed by Al Aqsa, Hamas, or Islamic Jihad, I tend to take their claims at face value. It is an enormous twist of logic to claim it is naive to believe Palestinians are killing themselves (in a culture that declares the shahid a hero), but Jews would happily blow themselves up in some farsical Machiavellian ploy to finger the Palestinians. What would the Israelis gain? They have never in the past needed any excuse to do what they consider to be in their security interests, nor given any heed to international opinion in formulating that interest. If the Palestinians claim it is holy to blow oneself up for Palestine, celebrate when a shahid blows himself up, take credit for killing Jews when a shahid blows up... theres a damn good chance it is a Palestinian blowing himself up.

"What would stop someone to stage a mock suicide bombing and blame it on Palestinians?" hmmm..as i read your post i wonder...is it your position that no people are being slaughtered by these suicide bombers in israel? are you suggesting that the media is being duped by someone "staging" a "mock" suicide bombing? are the blood and wrecked vehicles we see on television props? and the people crying hysterically actors? sorry but i just don't understand your position...and i'm not clear on who is being "naive."

That's ridiculous. The Palestinian suicide murderers are real. I saw the resulting blown-up bodies on the news. Why do you believe the NYC terrorist attack but not those in Israel?.....the reporters & cameramen are not exclusively Israeli.

<< Monday, April 15, 2002 6:33 AM ET To: Ann Corrigan From: Soumen Barua Hi, There are issues that can not be so easy to understand. Maybe israelis are the real terrorists and they are using it as a scapegoat to kill the Palestinians.>> S *********************************************************** Soumen, Maybe you are brainwashed. Israel does not target civilians; conversely, Palestinians deliberately send suicide murderers to blow up innocent civilians. If you can't see the difference, you've been programmed to be a blind partisan whose judgment, as a result, is defective. The recent pathetic use of teenage girls as the human bombs is really sick, since the same females are not awarded equality with the Palestinian males in any other way. P.S. I don't respond to private messages.
