Thanks to Sandeep of Ireland Against Sanctions. Another example of for us in the west, however hard trying to - again - walk in anothers shoes, it is impossible. The coin is also of course, yet again, double edged. With no welfare state and Palestinians unable to get to work because of blockades, a recent tragedy was a man in his late twenties, employed but unable to get there for nearly a year, ashamed, thus at being unable to support his young family, became a suicide bomber so they would be cared for. The young woman paramedic who also became a suicide bomber, was reported as saying since her teens, so much of her work had been picking up bits of people - rather than treating them - she saw nothing but hopelessness. This is, I realise, again slightly off the core purpose of CASI - but seems to be interlinked with recents discussions. Best, f. April 4, 2002 BY MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH NABLUS, West Bank--Saddam Hussein has increased money for the relatives of suicide bombers from $10,000 to $25,000... http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-meast04.html Why not increase it to $250,000? Why should the Iraqi government care about starving Iraqi children? There's an urgent need to encourage Palestinians to kill themselves. Saddam is a lovely father to his people. "Starve and die my children. I need the money to encourage Palestinians to kill themselves. I am not happy to see you die, but it would be even worse if we had to offer only $10,000 to encourage Palestinian suicide." ------------------------ Yahoo!
