| Arab states typically silent as homicide bombers "bravely" target babies Darryl Sperber 28 May 2002 (sperber@airmail.net) Nothing new here, I guess... I still like my proposal to "fight fire with fire", and begin retaliating against these attacks against babies by totally destroying one complete residential block in a random West Bank or Gaza city any time there is such an attack on Israeli civilians. Random city, random block... complete and utter erasure. We need to stop taking punches and begin fighting back, with a 100-to-1 kill ratio. There is no way to make peace with these maniacs. They must either surrender or be erased. A real military solution is needed... not one fought with gloves on. A bullhorn should announce a warning that the residents of that randomly selected block have five minutes to evacuate or else they will be vaporized along with everything else in that block. Any "collateral damage" is unfortunate (but much appreciated). The more terror, the better. If they don't evacuate within five minutes, well at least they were warned. And of course if the entire family of each bomber (identified courtesy of the usual suicide tape) can likewise be completely erased (also making it more difficult for the Saudi award money to be fairly distributed) then we can help increase the rate of ascent of the martyrs and let the mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers (and any friends or neighbors who become "collateral damage") join with the bombers in that other world as soon as possible. I SAY LET THEM ALL BE MARTYRS! AND LET'S HELP! Just as the Palestinians claim there are no civilian Israelis as a way of justifying attacking 5-year old girls in their bed and bombing babies and grandmothers, I say that there are also no civilian Palestinians. They are all enemies, and they are all soldiers fighting in civilian clothing. Erase them all, I say, as if they were soldiers and we were at war with them. They are barbarians and inhuman and do not deserve protection under the terms of the Geneva Convention. They don't observe those rules themselves, so why should we when fighting back to defend ourselves? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PETAH TIKVA, Israel, May 27 — A Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up at an outdoor cafe in a shopping center here today, killing a baby girl and her grandmother and wounding more than 40 other people. Witnesses said many at the cafe were women and children. Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, a militant group linked to Yasir Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the bombing today. In a statement released in Beirut, Lebanon, the group said the attack was revenge for the Israeli Army's killing of three of its members, including a leader of the group, in the West Bank city of Nablus last week. Palestinians said that the bomber was a relative of the slain leader. "This is our response to the cowardly assassinations and dirty occupation," the group said. "There will be more martyrdom operations until the occupation is defeated." The bomber struck in a newly built neighborhood housing mostly young families, a cluster of white stone apartment buildings lined with palm trees that residents said had been an oasis of calm during the last 20 months of growing violence. The target was a small outdoor cafe at a shopping center in this city of 185,000, an area popular with teenagers and young mothers and children. In a second, the bomber transformed the cafe into a scene of carnage. Shabtai Shabat had just gotten out of his car. "I heard a powerful explosion and I saw things flying in the air," he said. "There was silence for a moment, and then horrific screams. I saw a baby lying on the ground next to her mother, who was wounded in the arm. I saw another baby with her forehead open, she was still moving. I saw the bottom half of the bomber's body. Parents were rushing to find their children." Ravit Segev, who was there with her husband and 3-month-old baby, said she had seen the bomber, a man in gray shirt and jeans who mumbled something before the explosion. "The baby started screaming in terror along with me," she said. Ganit Margolinski, who was at a store next door with her son, told the Israel radio: "I saw children lying wounded on the ground asking for help. Mothers threw themselves on top of their children, but we couldn't help them. It was difficult to see bleeding mothers lying on top of their children, protecting them and not caring about themselves, screaming, `Save my child!' " An 18-month-old girl was killed along with her grandmother. Among the people wounded were three in serious condition, one of them a 2-year-old girl, hospital officials said.
