Iran Students Ready to Martyr Themselves for Palestinian Cause

Hardline student groups in Iran have asked the government for authorization to send suicide brigades to Israel, in response to that country's strikes on Hamas strongholds in the Gaza strip.

The government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has not yet responded to the calls, but said of Israel Wednesday that "this hated regime is on the slope of a crash and with the grace of God soon will fall and nothing can save it."

Volunteer suicide groups have made similar requests in the past and the government never responded to their calls. The groups' activities appear to be mainly for propaganda purposes, and there has been no sign of Iranians carrying out suicide attacks in Israel.

It is not clear how such martyr brigades would get to Israel, if they are even deployed, and some say the call to martyrdom may be more of a symbolic measure than anything else.

The fact that Iran's hardline leadership has lashed out at Israel is not unexpected. Iran frequently has made the Palestinian cause one of its main rallying cries, and Iran is Hamas' main backer, providing it considerable financial aid, something Tehran denies.

Great, follow the directions to a spot fifty miles into the desert and wait there until you here the A-10’ approaching then run like hel*.

The only difference will be instead of rested when you die you will be winded when you die.

What is the ‘proportionate response’ to a suicide bomber?

If they are so happy to die, I say save them the trip. Bomb the hell out of them at home where they can be close for burial.

Get a bunch of airliners and let them take off all at once and give them a 30 minute window of opportunity to try to land in Gaza.
