Israel destroys Beit Jalla home of suicide bomber
Jerusalem Post ^ | Aug. 1, 2002 | THE JERUSALEM POST INTERNET STAFF

Posted on 07/31/2002 9:47:17 PM PDT by Conagher

The IDF destroyed the home of a suicide bomber early Thursday morning. Haza Yusuf blew himself up in a Jerusalem felafel stand on Tuesday wounding seven, the IDF said in a statement.

Military sources said the destruction was a deterrent measure to show that such actions have a price.

The bomber lived in the town of Beit Jalla adjacent to the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

I just caught the Jesse Jackson lip service to God only knows who the hell he is speaking for.

I heard him say "Hammas is beyond anything they are" and I forget but I think I could substitute the word Savages and not Mike.

I don't see this ever stopping either, without some heavy duty action.

Man can't stop people from killing other people. Only God can do that.

The violence will end, but only when the Prince of peace comes back.

There need to be bodies, not bulldozed houses. How lame.
It's like seeing a cockroach and then stepping on the empty potato chip bag he came out of. First, you must step on every cockroach you see. Then you must find and destroy the nests, all of them. This is the only effective way to end your cockroach problem

I have spent 23 yrs. with wonderful a simply wonderful crew of medical folks to keep my son alive and active in the areanas' he has chosen. I would be mighty pissed off to lose my dutiful lil' American after all this backbreaking work. Within' the Constitution I support our troops to keep the borders clean so my local Sherriff can take care of local business. Like the Rodeo.

"At least they're doing something, and it's relatively soon, unlike our beloved government, which would do a lot of hemming and hawing, have committee meetings, sprinkle in a few pontifications, then bomb the wrong house."

LOL I think you've nailed it!

The simplest solution would be the Centauri one. (You B5 fans know what I'm talking about.)

Kill 500 Palestinians for every Jew the Palestinians kill.

Of course, everyone would be so appauled by this solution that they would get together to destroy Israel completely, despite the fact that much, much worse goes on in many other places in the world.

For the first time ever, a war is being fought in which one side does not care if its children are casualities.

Remember the Canaanites? God told the Israelites 'You shall not make your children to pass through the fire...' Child sacrifice has been going on with these people for thousands of years. Islam is just lipstick on the hog. (And ugly lipstick at that.) Brought to you by Allah the moon god, the same Baal of the Old Testament.

"When a suicide bomber kills himself it should result in a death sentence for every living member of his family including those living abroad."

I do believe that would work.

In WWII Nazi Germany recruited 8 million young boys, called "Hitler's youth" to fight for the motherland.

In the 19th century, the Russians kidnapped Jewish children and the Turks kidnapped Christian children as conscripts for their armies. Also during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980's the Iranian would send out groups of children to clear mine fields.

And then there was the Children's Crusade back in... what... the 13th Century? And in Africa and South America children are conscripts in tribal warfare and of course, "marxist" revolutions. No, I don't think the palis are unusual in this, I think WE are unusual in that we don't do such things.

I think, actually, Germany was the 'Fatherland' - Russia, if I recall, is the Motherland... ;0)

This is what is really disturbing and why I think a generation or 2 of these animals have to be destroyed. "They " are willing to sacrifice their children for this "cause"! Sorry, this is not natural for animals or humans. Again watching that on that awful day of 9-11, I said to myself "there are mothers to blame for this".

I appreciate the historical reference about Hitler youth, however, my point was that mothers are willingly sacrificing their children. Hitler youth mothers certainly did not want their children to die.

OK, that is very nice, but I am trying to figure out what this has to do with Palestinian suicide bombers.

I do not want the suicide bombers in our country. They kill the innocent.
They will find their way here if they can. I have worked to hard protecting life to have some goat herder (a job a dog can do) violently display his beliefs around my family. If anything ever happened to my family I would be so sad that I could kill those responsible. My pro life stance could change out of grief.

How the Isralies who have lost loved ones in these suicide bombings just don't go bonkers shows an incredible amount of restraint.

We must not let this ever happen here but it could if we are not very carefull. IMO for what it is worth.

I don't either, but if Murphy's law applies, they will be here soon enough.

I don't know, but maybe they are prosecuted and persecuted by Israeli police if they do.
