They'd have a much better time of selling their *victim* case if they'd have just said no to blowing themselves up and urging their own children to do so as well.
"The Haj" by Leon Uris has clarifying insights in it about the craziness of Israel's enemies...
It's even worse than that! The modern Islamics have failed the Prophet Mohammed. Mohammed defeated the and subjugated the Jews, stole there holy books, and reduced them to dhimni status.
Now these modern Islamics lose one war after another to the Jews, lose Jerusalem, and are humiliated by the shining achievements of Jewish intellectuals and scientists.
Modern Islamics have shown themselves to be unworthy of the Prophet and are desperately trying to take back their perceived place in the world. They just don't have what it takes.
"It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]

Like transportation will be furnished for people and property going North, and it is required that all things contemplated by this notice will be carried into execution as soon as possible.
