The ugly face of Palestinian terrorism
President Bush in his statement delivered on April 6 noted that
"when an 18-year-old Palestinian girl is induced to blow herself
up, and in the process kills a 17-year-old Israeli girl, the future
itself is dying, the future of the Palestinian people and the future
of the Israeli people." Despite the horror, which is clear
to Americans, Palestinian leadership, headed by Chairman Arafat
and buttressed by the Muslim clergy, has shown infinite creativity
in promoting gruesome acts of terror, carried out by women and children
against innocent Israelis. Exploiting women and minors to carry
out homicide bombing is not unprecedented within the world of terror
and havoc. Yet, the Palestinian terrorist organizations have brought
this practice to a new level.
