'The Fall of One Jew, Whether Soldier or Civilian, Is a Great Accomplis

(Title abbreviated)

Walid Jumblatt, chairman of the (Druze) Socialist Progressive Party and member of the Lebanese parliament, praised the January 14, 2004 suicide bombing by a Palestinian woman in Gaza. The following are excerpts from his statements: <1>

"Yesterday, the Palestinian mother Reem Al-Riyashi sacrificed herself, and by so doing joined the columns of the brave Jihad warriors and broke the atrocious and troublesome Arab silence, the helplessness, and the retreat that precede failure and disintegration. She offered hope in a sea of complacency, indecisiveness, and fear. It is a new Intifada. It is the Intifada of the revolutionary Palestinian woman and of the land, opposing the 'Jewification' , the Jewish reality, and the Arab regimes. Did it come out of despair?

"No, and again no. It is an act of belief and it is the correct path, because the fall of one Jew, whether soldier or civilian, is a great accomplishment in times of decline, subservience, and submissiveness, as a way to undermine the plan to 'Jewify' all of Palestine.

It is wrong and ridiculous to hold up the jaded view of this one individual and say, "See, here is the soul of this nation!"
The Palestinians I speak with, and I speak with many,
simply want to be left alone to develop their country in peace.
They are just like you and I.

when Israel continues to steal their land, regularly invades refugee camps, recklessly gunning people down on these operations, and bulldozes the homes of thousands of people?
