Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat began using a soft core sex video on Thursday to entice new "martyrs" to the cause of killing Israelis.
Arafat's state-run Palestinian Broadcast Company debuted the sexy promotional film aimed at would-be suicide bombers, with footage that shows how Palestinian martyrs will be serviced by six dozen anxious-to-please virgins in the afterlife.
The video, which preceded Thursday's 3 p.m. afternoon news, shows a young Palestinian man walking with his girlfriend as he spies some Israeli soldiers off in the distance.
According to a report on the Mideast news website "Media Line," the man in the video clearly starts thinking about how to strike out at the Israeli soldiers.
As he musters his courage to commit a terrorist act, the image of a bevy of stunningly beautiful young women appears out of nowhere. The girls are between 18 and 22 years of age.
Clad in billowy white robes, the attractive women smile fetchingly as they call to the prospective martyr, making motions with their hands as if to say "come-here” and "join us.”
Next the film shows the Palestinian man being captured by the Israeli Defense Force after his attempted terrorist attack is foiled, which, the film suggests, means he faces certain death.
After being killed by Israeli soldiers, the camera moves quickly to the new Palestinian martyr, who is smiling in paradise.
"One of the gorgeous women in white greets him and pulls him into the mist where she and seven or eight beautiful women begin to surround him and gently caress him," reports Media Line.

Instead of virgins in white robes, the images they are seeing now are tame compared to these:

Only now it is too late to for them to do anything about it.
| VIRGIN VIDEO ON ARAFAT’S TV PROMISES SEXY AFTER-LIFE FOR ‘MARTYRS’ |
| By Michael Widlanski When Palestinian terrorists blow themselves up in order to murder as many Israelis as possible, are they acting out of despair or out of hope? A new Palestinian movie video, which aired today (June 27) on Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation gives an inside view into Palestinian thinking that may supply the answers. A dark-haired and good-looking 35-year-old Arab man is seen walking with an attractive woman of about the same age. It is clear that she is his wife or his girl-friend and that he loves her, but the movie has no dialogue or written on-screen text, only background music and some very clear and heavy suggestions. The movie clip, which preceded and introduced the 3PM afternoon news, is about Palestinian “martyrdom”—its causes and its rewards. The man and his wife see Israeli army (IDF) soldiers, and frowns darken their features, and the music is very morose. The young man clearly starts thinking about how to strike out at the Israeli soldiers. Almost immediately, the music changes to a more optimistic tone as, out of a kind of mist, stunningly beautiful young women—between 18 and 22 years of age—begin to beckon to him. The gorgeous women, who are younger than his wife, are all clad in billowy white robes. They are all smiling fetchingly as they call to him, making motions with their hands as if to say “come-here” and “join us.” We next see the man after he is captured by the IDF following an apparent attack on them. But, as the music takes on another sinister twist, the Israelis deliberately release the Palestinian man. Their plan is clear: they are going to kill the handsome Arab man “while trying to escape.” He appears as a target in the cross-hairs of an Israeli automatic rifle. His wife cries, her face screwed up in agony, but the end is not sad. The camera moves quickly from the bereaved widow to the new Palestinian martyr who is smiling in paradise. One of the gorgeous women in white greets him and pulls him into the mist where she and seven or eight beautiful women begin to surround him and gently caress him. The video ends on a happy note without a word having been said, but the message is clear: here is the Islamic tradition of a martyr being welcomed into paradise where he will be ministered by 72 beautiful virgins. But is this movie clip a message of hope or despair? Israeli intelligence and psychological experts—inside the IDF as well as Israeli universities-- have been forming their conclusions, without the benefit of this latest video, but the movie clip seems to reinforce their general conclusion. The suicide bombers act out of a combination of despair and hope. Israeli experts and outside observers have seen the despair which is clear, the product of war, economic deprivation and daily frictions and furstrations. In addition, several of the human bombers who have attacked Israeli troops and Israeli civilians (as well as some who were captured before they could attack) fit a clear psychological pattern: Wafa Idris, who blew herself up on Jaffa Road several months ago, was a woman divorced and thrown out by her husband after she had a miscarriage and was told by doctors she could never give birth. Other women bombers have had similar desperate personal problems, while many of the male suicide bombers were men who were infected with hepatitis, cancer and AIDS. Their actions obviously had a strong background of personal desperation and despair, but those who gave them bombs and strapped the explosives to their bodies gave them something else: hope, hope for a better life in the world to come. The new Palestinian television video—aired in the afternoon for maximum viewing by Palestinian children—underscores the message of hope. It is a hope for a better world, but not in this world, not in this lifetime. © 2002 Michael Widlanski Michael Widlanski is senior analyst at The Media Line and lecturer at The Rothberg School of the Hebrew University |
Their video is a lie. A suicide bomber blows himself up and becomes dead meat. The IDF, the Jerusalem Post and media agencies should publish Before and After photos and posters saying "This is Mohammed Martyr before he blew himself and innocent civilians up [photo courtesy of his murderers, Hamas] and this is his photo after."
Plaster every town and city in Israel with the posters. They should publish actual photos of the hunks of meat that remain. It would show that there really is a consequence for actions, that every transgression and disobedience receives a just recompence of reward, and that one reaps what one sows. Reality time! Publish the photos!
