re:You're missing the point.....some parents say they are proud of their martyred children

So are you, some I say some parents have encouraged their children - you are attempting to make things black and white when they are not. These folks have numerous reasons to want to become martyrs - the most alarming one is that the government itself and some parents encourage this activity. Their own school books honor martyrs against Israel. The blame lies directly with the PLO, Israel is not asking them to martyr themselves - Arabs are doing that indirectly through their proxy (PLO) in their ongoing fight with Israel.

They are dirt poor and the money is to help the family they leave behind.
