Seventeen-year-old Bakir Khouli lifts his shirt Sunday, Aug. 25, 2002, in the West Bank town of Tulkarem, to show marks he said were made by electrical wires as he was tortured shortly before his mother was killed. Bakir's mother, Ikhlas Khouli, 35, was shot dead Saturday for being a suspected collaborator with Israel. Bakir said that Palestinian gunmen tortured him until he invented a story about his mother's involvement in a militant's death. (AP Photo/Enric Marti)

Sure, too much hash after afternoon incantations.

He hooked up the batteries, put the belt on backwards with loose wires. I'm sure it stung.

A shame it didn't go off. Maybe next time.

The religion of peace..

They'll probably kill him too, just because he ratted out the Palies that tortured him and killed his mother.

Cruelty seems to be highly ingrained in the Palestinian culture. That's why I am not too hopeful for Israel having any peace until the Palestinians are removed from there. Why don't the neighboring Arab countries take them in? But even if they were willing to do so, the Palis wouldn't go because they want to fight the Jews until they are all driven out of their land or until they are all killed. It's just a hopeless situation as long as the situation continues as it is. It's the pitt bulls being loose among a bunch of poodles. I don't think those people can change. So in my mind the Israelis are going to continue to suffer as long as there are Palestinians around who are obsessed with destoying the Jews.
