[National Post-Canada] Editorial - Even by the standards of Palestinian terrorists, this ranks as a new low. Last week Hamas sent a grandmother as a suicide bomber to attack Israeli soldiers in Gaza. The good news is that she was unsuccessful: She didn't kill anyone except herself. And we suppose it's also good news that Hamas is so short of recruits that they must now resort to brainwashed grandmas - much as the Nazis conscripted young boys and old men in the waning days of the Second World War. The bad news is that there are Muslims on this earth who think Allah wants them to turn grandmothers into walking bombs. It seems the harder Israel and the rest of the world try to give the Palestinians their own country, the harder they try to prove that they don't deserve one.
