Suicide attack was 8th by female

[drdon326]

Zayneb Abu Salem, 18, of the Askar refugee camp in Nablus was the eighth female suicide bomber to blow herself up since the outbreak of violence four years ago, and the 41st female recruited by terror organizations to perpetrate attacks.

Wednesday's bombing occurred despite the general closure imposed on Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza Strip imposed two weeks ago.

Security officials said that no specific warning of plans by a suicide bomber to blow up in Jerusalem was received.

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz held consultations on the phone with military and security officials following the attack, but security officials said there will be no change in the current policy regarding IDF activities, and that security forces will continue operating in Palestinian areas to root out and arrest fugitives and destroy the terror infrastructure.

"The first suicide bomber, Wafa Idris, of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was chosen because she was divorced and childless. One Israeli was killed when she set off her explosives on Jerusalem's Jaffa street in January 2002. A month later Drain Abu Aisha blew herself up at the Maccabim road block near Modi'in, injuring two policemen.

In March 2002, Ayat Alhares, 18, of the Dahaisha refugee camp, blew herself up at the entrance to the supermarket in Jerusalem's Kiryat Yovel quarter, which resulted in two people being killed.

In April 2002, 21-year-old Tanzim activist Amadlib Takata of Bethlehem blew herself up in Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market, killing six people.

In October 2003, Hinadi Taisir Abed al Malek Jaradat blew herself up in Haifa's Maxim restaurant, killing 19 civilians. She was the first Hamas female suicide bomber.

In January 2004, Rim A-Riashi blew herself up at the Erez road block in the Gaza Strip, killing two soldiers, a border policeman and a security guard."

2. Hatred breeds fanatical psychosis .....

Happens on both sides .....

Some think their own hatred is less onerous because they use less 'crude' methods, or that designated 'soldiers' are executing hate actions .... I beg to differ ....

Hatred begets monstrous acts of terror which begets hatred which begets monstrous acts of terror which begets hatred which begets ......

The Middle East is a very sick place full of sick people .....

4. The ICJ has no mandate

to deal with invidual crimes, what do they do about settler violence? what did they do about Baruch Goldstein.

Personally I don't see why women bombers are any worse than male ones...have never beleived that women were somehow naturally inclined to peace and love anymore than men are.

6. Why have Palestinian radicals chosen suicide bombers over non-violent

civil disobedience and massive protest marches? To what extent has non-vioence been given a fair chance?

I believe the Palestinians have valid grievances. George Bush refuses to redress these grievances until every last "terrorist" is killed. That is insane, IMO. but it is difficult in this climate to extend an offer to militant Islamic fundamentalists to come in under a white flag of truce and just talk things over. I am all in favor of that, but apparently I am a minority of one.
