(Sydney Morning Herald)- Ephraim Ben-Matityahu The Palestinian terrorists and their organizations are against the very existence of Israel, within any boundaries or concept. This is their strategic goal. It is about Arab Palestine, not the Palestinian people. The campaign of suicide attacks in the Middle East has little to do with "personal grievance, desperation, or humiliations." If such personal grievances over socio-economic or political issues were the cause of such actions, we should have seen many other groups committing similar actions. Martyrdom is not a political concept but a religious ideal. "Homicide bombing" is the product of religious racist fanaticism. It is a result of manipulation, brainwashing, and indoctrination through many years of distorted education. These killers go on their mission with the blessing that God loves what they do, and their society glorifies their indiscriminate murder as martyrdom.
