A new force for the Palestinian "military"


Key extract from a story in today's Washington Post::

"...the suicide bomber has become the most potent military weapon in the Palestinian uprising against Israel..."

The first entry of the Webster's New World Dictionary for "military" is "of, characteristic of, fit for, or done by soldiers, or the armed forces". Suicide bombers are not soldiers as that term is commonly understood in a military context. A "military" that almost exclusively targets civilians and never engages in direct combat must belong to a nation of cowards; at best an armed terrorist society passing itself off as a nation.

The Palestinians have not earned a state while this cowardly abomination goes on. Accept Israel as a reality; stop teaching your children to die for you; make peace and enjoy its fruits.
