Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Suicide bomber's family: "We're very proud of him."
2007-01-30
The mother of Muhammed Faisal Saksak, the 21-year-old suicide bomber who carried out Monday's attack in Eilat, said she was aware of her son's plan to blow himself up and that she had wished him "good luck."
She admits she was aware? Fine. Grab her and put her on trial in Israel for aiding and abetting. Now, if she admitted helping Israel, she'd be killed in an unmerciful way.
Dozens of Palestinians, chanting slogans against Israel and the US, converged on the family's home to "congratulate" them on the success of the attack.
In other societies people are "congratulated" on births, marriages, promotions, etc. these people congratulate for death.
Although Muhammed's uncles claimed that he crossed the border into Israel from Jordan, PA security sources told The Jerusalem Post that he came from Egypt. They added that Muhammed's dispatchers were deliberately involving Jordan to avoid alienating the Egyptians and to create tensions between the Jordanians and Israel.

#12  I wonder how it would play out if this were an Israeli mother wishing her son good luck before he headed off to blow up a few Paleostinians and then went on international news to say she was proud of him.

#8  Dungbe Flung. That does have kind of a poetic ring. Maybe it's time for a change.

#6  I cleaned out my cookies and got a name assigned. I'll change it. Hupeash Flung4618 = JohnQC. Maybe "splodadopism" is hereditary.

#5  I wonder if Haniyeh comes walking up to the house with a big cardboard check and a camera crew just like Publishers Clearinghouse...

#4  Remember, though, that to say other than what she said is a sentence of ostracism, abuse and death on those left behind. In the PA a person can pulled from his house and beaten to death in the street just because village gossip accuses him merely of being insufficiently hostile to Israel, not even necessarily an informant to the Israeli authorities.

Intersting that PA security sources name the uncles as Mr. Saksak's dispatchers, and claim an Egyptian vs. Jordanian border crossing.

#3  Screw the warning. A 2000 pound air burst 3 feet above the house and the whole neighborhood can be proud too.

#2  Time for that 10 minute phone call to clear the mother's house! I want to see her waddling around in a mud puddle afterwards!

#1  This mother's warped pride is hardly an anomaly, but rather a widely held, cultural mantra. It is a clear and present example of the muslim mindset and precisely why these vermin must be dealt with, with extreme prejutice.
