This is an incredible and very important news item. They're obviously the product of a generation of jihad-pedagogy and family values.

I'd already seen the video of Wafa al-Bis, the 21 year old caught with a bomb belt at a checkpoint. She screams in shame and agony when she's discovered. Common sense says it's because now she can't live (die) up to her Hamastani martyrdom values. But you're led to believe it's because she's shamed by our standards. In a voiceover the journalist says that now she regrets her action and wants to live. Yet no proof of her presumptuous change of heart is provided. Rachel Corrie could have been the journalist.

It's a horrible truth you state, but, yes, the women are combattants. Given the chance they will hurl themselves at Israel and the rest of us in waves, like Iranian children were sent to the gaseous Iraqi front in the 80s. Calls for an M-60, not an M-16 - that, plus aerial and artillery support.

Jeremiah:

Yup, and they are a festering sore all over the globe. I plan to do a series on these murderous women.

There are the fanatical femme fatales called "Freedom Birds" in Northern Sri Lanka, fighting for "a separate homeland."

Sound familiar.

This is a terrorist campaign which has claimed 70,000 lives since 1983.

Hey, Presbyterian Church USA, where are you!?

Oh sorry, no Jews involved, what do you care?

I plan to do a series on these murderous women.

Someone's got to.

You know the movie, "The Terrorist" - the story of the Tamil woman who debuted the explosive vest. Read the link: in real life the movie's "inspiration" had no qualms about fulfilling her deadly mission. But in the movie she changes her mind at the last minute. I remember when I saw the movie that I felt manipulated by the ending. Now I know why.

Jeremiah:

No never saw the film because I knew of the false ending. Disgusting.

Here's the truth: In 1991, A Freedom Bird named Dhanu self-detonated and blew up the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and 16 others near Madras, India, to protest India's support for the Sri Lankan government.

1n 1993 the President of Sri Lanka was blown up at a rally by a Freedom Bird.

In 1994, near Colombo Sri Lanka, a Freedom Flower blew up herself and Presidential candidate Gamini Dissanayake as well as 50 civilian onlookers.

Need I mention that this is an Islamic movement?

What a shock.

Robert,

As I remember it, Moshe Rabeinu (Moses) was none too happy about leaving the Midianite women alive either! That's always been a weak point. As for Ron Arad, I don't think we should guess. As long as there's a possibility he's alive we have to pray and work to save him. And let's not forget Zachary Baumel, Tzvi Feldman, Yehuda Katz and Guy Hever.

Mordechai:

I still daven for Lt. Colonel Arad every Shabbos, for I still harbor some tiny sliver of hope. How can I not? Yet, I must be rational, and part of my obsessive/compulsive personality is to endlessly analyze all things military and Israeli.

Have I done wrong by making my doubts public?

Perhaps.

If so, I ask mechila.

And no, I have not forgotten Baumel, Feldman, Katz and Hever, G-d forbid that I would.

Thanks so much for your comment. Always good to hear from you--the finest Public Relations agent I have the honor of knowing.

This was a fine post. Thank you for it.

Ozzie:

Glad you enjoyed it.

Robert,

Gosh... I'm overwhelmed! Thank you. Flattery will get you anywhere!

OK... back to the point. I'm sorry if it sounded like I underestimated your dedication. I wish I were so tuned in!

Talking about not being tuned in, I just realized that my comment was vague enough to be easily misread. (Don't you wish you could edit your comments on blogs?) I meant that Moshe (Moses) was angry that the soldiers who wiped out the Midianites failed to kill the women also. (Of course the situation was different there. The women were the source of the sin that led to the plague. But it still rings familiar.)

And thanks again!

Mordechai

As for the women currently in prison... any chance a dog-training program can set them straight? Just asking...

Mordechai:

So, "flattery will get you anywhere."

I will remember this for "anywhere" is precisely where I have always wanted to go.

Ralphie:

The dogs will definitely work on these women. Here's how.

We line up the good ladies on the yard. Then let loose the German Shepards--several rabid, killer beasts that have not been fed in, oh, say seven days?

That'll definitely set the ladies straight.

Seriously, no dog training programs in Israel for their Islamic inmates. Islam defines dogs as "unclean" and adherents to the religion of peace will go to most any lengths to avoid contact with man's best friend.

Arabs, on the other hand, adore donkeys.

Ralphie, I'm way ahead of you: no human/donkey/prison program in progress.

Robert,

A writer... especially a scriptwriter and novelist... can always go anywhere... and what's more, you take others along for the trip!

Mordechai

Sometimes I think that Israel should insist on burying terrorists in pigskin coffins.

Ozzie:

A sane Judicial policy of capital punishment would serve the state of Israel quite well. That the death penalty has been visited upon just one man, Adolf Eichmann, no longer makes any sense, for these Jihadists are truly IslamoNazis. And if any criminals deserve the death penalty these people certanly do. How many times have we seen terrorists released from israeli prisons only to kill more Jews almost immediately?

In fact, it could be argued that those Israeli politicians who released these murderous Arab terrorists are accomplices to the shedding of innocent Jewish blood.

Robert, as always, useful and necessary knowledge, the kind that is NOT being disseminated by the MSM in their infinite capacity to lie, propagandize and twist every single fact vis-a-vis Israel. The "poor" Palestinians are portrayed all over the TV and Net as being oppressed, the "average" Palestinian is an innocent caught up in the conflict...and Palestinian women and teens are all of pristine behavior, caught in the web of Israeli aggression...

What is dismaying is what you pointed out..that some of these women are killers or would-be ones, and some of these youth were potential suicide bombers...not that anyone in the media WOULD care.

In addition to praying for the release of Israeli prisoners, I pray that Israel doesn't bend, doesn't give back these murderers or would-be murderers, which will lead only to more kidnappings and murders of Jews.

Maurice:

Thanks for kind words. What can I say? Reading and watching the MSM during this Gaza War is appalling. They live in a self-made bubble. But what can you expect from people who have no qualms about going public with state secrets time after time.

The MSM combine several of the worst human traits I know of: the Arrogance of the elite, Ignorance of matters military and security, and just plain Ingratitude to the Unites States of America.

Surely these are a cocktail for sedition, appeasement and defeatism.
