I guess shooting your own foot and then cry about it have a whole new meanning now, yeah good thinking, that only show Hamas logic, every young man's dream is to mary elderly women with 7 children, that funny,
2. sloppy seconds
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (03.19.09)
these women can't be all that appealing since life with them apparently wasn't all that satisfying to the dead terrorists. can't you just imagine the terrorists dilemma: life with this woman, or death... life with this woman, or death... life with this woman, or death. if that's the choice and we see what they chose, it says a lot. or maybe it's a ploy to get more men to go on one-way terrorist missions. that makes more sense, actually.
3. vis-à-vis, the reverse is true

4. There aren't that many widows!
Rachel ,   chutz4now   (03.19.09)
This is yet another way to get the world to have sympathy for them. "Look we need to have all these widows supported. Help us." This pr has to be refuted as any other paliwood stunt. we need to stay on top of this things.
5. Afraid women will turn to prostitution
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.19.09)
This is what's happening to many Iraqi women. Under Sharia law, women are expected to remain at home and few have marketable skills. Since Hamas created this situation and they have ample funds, the honorable thing for them to do would be to set-up a fund for widows and be prepared to support these women and their families. $3000 to support two dependent women and their children doesn't sound like much of an incentive. Shouldn't uncle Ahmadinejad offer help to these needy women? Where is Iran when the Palestinians need help?
6. How many can I get?
Yosi M. ,   GiloJerusalem-Israel   (03.19.09)
I figure that most of the terrorist that died were young, ergo young wives. If I get $3,000 per person, per month, heck, I can just buy one of those big illegal mansions that they are building in Beit Safafa and set them up in a room. They said that the men have to be religious, right? Didn't say what religion. And, under Sharia law, all these woman must convert to the man's religion. That means that they would have to become Jewish. Hmmm, something to think about, if we want to win the demographic war. More terrorists that die, more women and their children that must become Jewish? LOL
7. To Ghostq #1. Shooting At Their Own Foot.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (03.19.09)
Quote :” every young man's dream is to marry elderly women with 7 children, that funny,” The policy of Yasser Arafat (namely, fight Israel through the womb) has come back to haunt them. Again an example of shooting at their own foot without realising the far reaching consequences of it.
8. ethical?
vashDi ,   israEL   (03.19.09)
does that word even exsist in the arab language?
9. to #7
ghostq   (03.19.09)
you r right, all thos mouthes to feed, need larg sums of money, thos mouthes economic wise r not able to support themselves, and it's going to get worse, "luckly" they will find someone to blam, you can guess who.
10. So now they have money?
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (03.19.09)
Guess they won't need my charity contribution. Too bad they aren't holding their breath waiting for it. There'd be an end to this nonsense without a shot being fired. See what happens when one doesn't finish what one starts?
11. Has anyone asked the widows' opinion?
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.19.09)
Has anyone in Hamas considered adding another condition for marrying these widows - asking their opinion, if they actually WANT their future husbands? Or is it that no one cares of their opinion, and they are simply marketed as property - we'll give you $3000, you'll take home a new bride, used-but-in-good-condition? Rhetorical questions of course...
12. To: Tahl at No. 11
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.19.09)
I appreciate that your question was rhetorical in nature, but it is a sad fact that in the Arab/Moslem world, no one asks a woman for her opinion on anything. Ever. Woe betide her if she offers one nonetheless. Primitive, backwards, anachronistic, but there you have it.
13. Wait a minute, I thought all those dead
Joe ,   Ohio,USA   (03.19.09)
from Cast Lead were civilians! Now don't bust my bubble here was Hamas lying all along?
14. #13
observer   (03.20.09)
all those killed, military or civilians are martyrs.
15. # 14
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.20.09)
