bisha ,   sweden   (11.24.06)
Your actions of occupation , violence and igonorance force a woman of 57 yrs old to blow here self.
32. No. 16. Learn to read, dude.
Israelit ,   Israel   (11.24.06)
Learm to grow up. Death isn't funny, war isn't funny. Why won't you sit quietly in your Alaska there - my country doesn't need jokers like you as friends. In general: God bless the IDF!
33. No.25
Israelit ,   Israel   (11.24.06)
Ignore No.16, please, he obviously isn't quite sober. Whenever we learn to respect our enemies... or rather whenever THEY learn to respect our enemies. Suicidal bomber not suicidal bomber, she's a grandmother and a mother, do respect her as a women.
34. #12 Drinking too many Stars? SHE VOLUNTEERED HERSELF
Hani ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.24.06)
Stop whining from Abuja and be open minded to the idea of having nothing to loose... Sure this women had many children and grandchildren, but did she think they have dignity? freedom? a future? She gave herself up in order to kill the invading Israeli soliders and to resist the occupation in any way. so THERE!
35. #3 Quit the Occupation, stop whining
Hani   (11.24.06)
36. 34-35, Eye-opening responses
saddened ,   Israel   (11.24.06)
Interesting to see with what passion you defend the policy of suicide bombing. Interesting to see that such a stance is embrace by 'educated', 'enlightened', supposedly moderate Arabs living in the western world. Hmmm...
37. Dignified Existence or Resistance until Death
Faris   (11.24.06)
38. to all jews!!!!!!!!!!
sami ,   usa   (11.24.06)
did you all know that they had to chain the israel solder to there tanks in 1967 war with jorden so your army dont run a way from the battle. but this lady was fighting for her country and thats the only way to do it, there is no tanks or air force that they could use , something that you jews will never understand , just ask the japanies wat they did with there planes in the war they fought.
39. A Culture of Death & Annihilation, Worse Than The Nazis
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (11.24.06)
Let this bomber's family express their 'pride' and then target them all.
40. Stop the excuses
Natan ,   USA   (11.24.06)
Stop the excuses for suicide bombers...What drives those people to blow themselves up is hate and stupidity!!! There is no occupation. Israel left Gaza...The hate of those stupid muslim fanatics is endless...They must be shipped out on the next shuttle and let float in space where they can't hurt anyone!!!
41. Sacrifice to G-d
Blouria ,   Brooklyn NY   (11.24.06)
B"H She was probably going to be executed for sexual immorality, incest or she was depressed.
42. suicide bombers
tom ,   toronto, canada   (11.24.06)
"Dignified Existence or Resistance until Death (End)" may god grant their wish to die, as quickly as possible, and with as little loss of innocent jewish life as possible. now that the "occupation" of gaza has been over for more than a year, they obviously need a new slogan to justify their bloodlust for killing jews - now it is to be "dignity". has it ever occurred to them that they wouldn't have such "indignities" (and they would already have an independent state, too) if they would only sit in peace and stop attacking israel? as golda meir once said: "there will only be peace when the arabs learn to love their children more than they hate us".
43. Wow! 72 big Pen** awaiting this muslim woman.
NTI ,   Red Chili   (11.24.06)
But, sorry, since she didn't accomplish her evil deeds of murdering innocents, only 72 from wild boars. Next time anyone says of those stupig muslims' "innocent children , women and old people harmed" again, you must be one who is unconditionally biased against anything righteous (or good).
44. #19 Camp David was unacceptable to Palestinians
Paulo ,   Barcelona   (11.24.06)
Arafat did not sign for a variety of reasons.... first of all and contrary to myths spread by Barak and other Israeli liars, Palestinians were not offered sovereignty in East Jerusalem. The large settlements in west bank AND Gaza were to continue and expand...AGAIN something the palestinians naturally rejected. Furthermore the right of return was flatly snubbed by israel as a nonstarter, without a counter offer on the fate of the 8,000,000 palestinians in the diaspora. Given the above I urge you to refrain from spreading propaganda about Palestinians rejecting "offers". They were neither fair nor acceptable. It's no wonder then they feel so desperate today. Oslo was nothing more than an Israeli tool to buy time and reckognition from the PLO (apparently in return for...nothing). Enough bloodshed and please ask your government to look into the European proposals. So long as your neighbors are impoverished, occupied, humiliated and shot at daily, you will never have true prosperity. I dont understand why a Peace Conference is such a bad idea for israel...i mean you people almost make it impossible for anyone to trust you! In conclusion i wish all hardliners here pose the question: Why did she do it? When taken at face value, you rush to conclude that she was a "terrorist" and therefore did not distinguish right from wrong, she was merely acting on her evil impulses. How ridiculous! She was a mother of nine. Put yourself in her shoes, witness relatives and friends die everyday at the hands of the IDF, homes demolished, travel denied, and no employment due to Israel strangling the territories...What did u expect from a woman who has had enough?
45. 72 male virgins?
Rinat ,   North Bend, Oregon   (11.24.06)
What is she going to get now, 72 male virgins???
46. Her family are very proud and happy becos
John ,   NZ   (11.24.06)
Iran has paid them well for a job well-done. I tried but I couldn't understand how her children would sell their mother for money or the other way round. There is no dignity when there's money changing hands. it's bizness, it's prostitution, it's absolutely disgusting!
47. #36 You should think
Nick ,   USA   (11.24.06)
The question is not why people justify "suicide bombing", the question is " what drive a 57 year old grandmother to do such thing. Certainly not what I red so far, Hamas threaten to rape her daughter, or give her money, nor is it the 72 virgins. This is only the thinking of sick society you are living in. She did that as the only way to protest the brutal actions of IDF, the un human treatment of such people who’s land was stolen, life is unworthy when you don’t have nothing to live for. The Zionist oppression with US blessing is what caused this. God Bless that women cause she sent a strong message to those Killers in the IDF, this message is true and sincere, and one day those democratic so called states (Israel and US) will be judged for their crimes against humanity, the same as Nazi regime did..
48. No Terrorist.
Dr.Joji Cherian ,   Aluva India   (11.24.06)
You repeatedly reffer to this 57 year old gandma of 30 and mother of nine as terrorists Thick skin and thicker conciounce. Know it for yourself. No terrorist will ever blow off himself or herself for any thing. She is a martyr offering the only thing, the ultimate thing she can offer, that is her body itself for the cause she belives in. Only people with sick mindset will call her terrorist
49. BARUCH DAYAN EMET

50. Hani, 34-35
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (11.24.06)
Your a retard, are you here legally? If so why not take advantage of our way of life, and get an education? What about her other grandson with the amputated leg, or her daughter that she left behind, is the "occupation" over now, has she succeeded in doing anything except eliminating one more member from her family. There is no occupation, there is no palestine. The occupation is as legitimate as your citizenship. Do you really feel Canadian? You and your leb buddies, not even speaking our language, staying in your own groups, you don't assimiliate, it's just like you run here and hide and don't even mingle. Like a beaten dog. No one should condone this action, even if Israeli aggression is too much, a Canadian would of stayed and put up with it, for the family left behind, be strong. Live to fight another day. Your philosophies are backwards and unevolved. You are as much an occupier in Quebec.
51. incredible...
Greg ,   New York City   (11.24.06)
to think that anyone on this planet condones, validates and supports this is astounding. just astounding. to go further, how can one proclaim themselves a religious person and commit suicide. suicide is against Jewish,Christian,and Islamic law. no matter the context. Jihad or no Jihad. astounding. just astounding.
52. See it one way or the other like #10 not like #18
Elokim ,   Israel   (11.24.06)
You can see this as just another terrorist bombing/attack...or you could see it as just how bad it's getting in Gaza. If a people can not make it...or are being held below the water to die...what do you think they will do...ANYTHING!! My God..come on people open your eyes to the truth. If a 57 year old woman with kids and grandkids is willing to commit suicide...you HAVE to know something else is behind this!!!! Instead of condemning her and what she may have thought she had to do....look and see if there is something that causes this affect to happen. It could be one of many things. Like #10 says. The true hatred and inciteful people are those like #18. You should see the world more like #19. it will answer some of your doubts about your fellow humans!!! If the Palestinians had a better force of weapons and could/would unite Israel would have a formidable enemy. Right now Israel treats the Palestinians worse then a red headed step child.....beating on them just for the sake of beating on them!!!! Or maybe they need to just feel better about themselves for hitting a people that can't hit back like some of the neighboring countries. If Israel keeps up the way they are going about killing so many people without a true reason....hmmm that sounds like what happened to them 60 years ago...you'd think they'd learn. But if they keep on this path of destruction, they will find out that they are the enemy of many....and not just the Arabs!!! Let this 57 year old woman be a sign of change!!!!
53. #9 why would she kill herself?
(11.24.06)
i can only guess not because she was threatened with her dauhgters being raped, but because filthy IDF hands have touched her home and homeland. I can only tell you it is Godless American and Serbian soldiers who rape 14 year olds and kill them like cowards. Pray for the day that that woman's children would not get a level playing field, because if and when they do, I will not be reading from you here as you will hiding under your sister's skirt.
54. #36 it is more eye opening
(11.24.06)
to see how you CHOSEN and very educated Jews resapond to this. very low. i wonder if it can get any lower...
55. Strapped to 57-year-old woman !!!!
kurt ,   sandiego   (11.24.06)
Suggestion for ending the endless War: First, you must believe in G-d. Then, I suggest the radical idea of moving all the Palestinians by bus to the southern tip of Israel. Let them live between Egypt and Jordan in the city of Elat and surrounding cities. Give them the piece of land captured during the war, and a port city to live in. When this is done, Israel will annex Gaza back into the state of Israel. The same must be done to Judea and Samaria. If you believe in G-d, then you will see the brilliance of redrawing the borders according to the Torah. Until this is done, until they are removed from the land, there will NEVER be peace. The war will NEVER end with the Muslims camping out on the borders of Israel. So, send them to the south and redraw the borders according to the Torah.
56. So where's the UN condemnation of Israel?
Chatich   (11.24.06)
Those zionist bastards killed a helpless civilian granny! Massacre!!!
57. no5
toni ,   sabme   (11.24.06)
i appreciate that you hate suicide bombings. but your quran can be readly interpreted as aproving of such actions. are you not told to slay and be slain. your reward is great. it'may' mean something else. but it is easly interpreted. in a twisted and suicidal way. but the poor women gets no reward for she is a lesser creation. inyour religious teachings aprophit peerd into hell and it was mostly women there. like it or not your religion needs to take a serious look within and maybe your voice would be loud enough for all to hear.
58. Proud? She failed didn't she?
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (11.24.06)
Wasn't he goal to kill Jews? She didn't kill anyone but herself . She flat-out failed. Maybe that is these peoples problem - differentiating success from failure.
59. Useless .....
Hiram ,   Plsen   (11.24.06)
57 yeras Old indoctrinated women offered her life for nothing. the world toally ignores this non-event. Islaic organisation are damaging the image of Palestinian cause ( if there ever was one that is ). The more terrorists, the more Shahids, the less progression there will be in the resolution of the "conflict ". Arabs may have given the world Al Gebra, but they are still looking for political maturity ! One additional useless death, one additional opportunity for Gaa gangsters to shoot themselves in the foot. What else is new ?
60. uncovered meat
lolol ,   ha-ha-ha   (11.24.06)
her cat husband probably wanted to uncover fresher meat...
