#1 Maybe Asif Hanif suffered under a misconception about the differences in translation between "peace" and "pieces." If Arabic lacks homonyms, that could make all the difference.

#2 Asif, believed in pieces, was gentle, like a lamb... a rabid lamb with 3" incisors and a mean streak a mile wide.

"Look at the bones!"

#3 His brother, Tassadiq, said: "Anyone would tell you he was just a big teddy bear."

Except where Jews were concerned.

#5 It never fails to amaze me that these suicide bombers-either out of desperation or calculation-imagine that blowing people into 2" morsels is going to bring a Palestinian state any closer to reality. As long as Palestinians support these tactics and the objective of a Jew-free world, we will rightly judge them as utterly unworthy of leadership or power.

#6 Jules, the saddest thing of all is that they're killing the very people they need to make their state function. I'm no expert on government, and I know enough about politics to get by (I have a few good friends I rely on when I don't have a clue, or I just check here), but it seems to me that the issue of the Palestinians wanting Israel to take some of their refugees was the dumbest thing they could ask for - since those are, again, the people you need for a society to function, i.e. for a freaking Palestinian state. Arafat's organization has done a pretty poor job of creating an infrastructure, and Hamas and those other hate-filled groups - while they may do a few charitable things now - spend the majority of their time planning how to kill Jews . . . and that's no foundation for a life for anybody. That the Palestinians continue to flush their future down the toilet by sending their young to blow themselves up is a true shame.
