We can all see this coming, and it is unfortunate.

I posted a piece on this earlier, jcky, and, as you would expect, was in favor of this treatment of the family. I suspect that a lot of these bombers have been recruited with the encouragement of their families. They get to live with the "Glory," the attention, and the money.
This should help in stopping that encouragement.

This is just one step closer toward adopting a policy of ethnic cleansing by the Israelis

You don't know the meaning of the phrase « ethnic cleansing ».

That's rather a large leap, isn't it, from the Israelis trying to counteract the $30,000 or so paid to suicide bomber families, to ethnic cleansing, isn't it?

But then, it's just another day in the war of words, where ever crime that the Jews happened to suffer from in the last century, such as ethnic cleansing or genocide or terrorism, is now hurled at them as a charge, mostly by Europeans who are happily freeing themselves from guilt, or by Arabs who have learned to appeal to Europeans (Left to their own devices, the Arabs don't waste time complaing of human rights offenses, they just boast how they are going to throw the sons of apes and pigs into the sea).
