I know it's wrong...so, so unfair to Linda Hunt... I made this last night but didn't post it. The woman in the picture, after all, represents all that's wrong in Palestinian society, and all that so many in the West have remained silent about...the magic word "occupation" waved as a talisman to justify mass murder, the production of children for the use of their body parts as bombs, the institution of motherhood wrung of the last vestige of human dew...presented by an admiring and fawning talking head who may as well be interviewing the latest MacArthur Fellowship recipient. We in the West bear our responsibility for this, for not speaking out with condemnation, for accepting the excuses and justifications...now the seed, fertilized by our silence is running for office and spreading its poison.

MEMRI TV: Palestinian Legislative Council Candidate and Bereaved Mother of Three Hamas Terrorists Umm Nidal Farhat: Israelis Are Not Civilians and There Are No Prohibition on Killing them. I Am Willing to Sacrifice All My Sons

...Interviewer: Excuse me, Umm Nidal, but in the West, this scene... it's not just that they do not understand this. They don't understand how a Palestinian mother can rejoice at her son's funeral, and can say "Allah Akbar" when she hears that he was martyred. Not only do they consider this peculiar, but they also criticize it. They say these Palestinian women obviously have no human feelings. In other words, no mother in the world – no matter how noble the cause or how successful the outcome – would react in such a way. Much has been written about you and all the Palestinian mothers. They cannot understand such emotions.

Umm Nidal: They are completely detached from Islam and its concepts. But we, Allah be praised, are devout Muslims. In these matters, there is a big difference between us and them. They do not understand what Islam is...

Will Umm Nidal ultimately sacrifice her all of her 10 sons? Some sacrifice. She's using proceeds from the four dead murderers to run for political office ain't she? A few more martyrs to fund her pension plan.

Need it be said that Golda was so right. Until they love their children more than they hate Israelis/Jews, the only peace there will be is the peace of the grave.

LOL. You actually managed a link that choked my code. I saw it, though. Very good!
