A plug for Ray Hanania on ynetnews

Well here is an excerpt from his latest column

Killers as 'martyrs'

Already Palestinians have forsaken that
fundamental moral code in dealing with the issue of suicide bombing. Regardless
of the pain and suffering inflicted by Israel upon Palestinians, suicide
bombings remain an immoral, unjustified heinous act of
murder.

Suicide bombings should be denounced without hesitation.
Instead, many Palestinians cheer the suicide murderers on as “martyrs,” a
distortion of the term both from a political and a religious standpoint, or they
sit back and excuse the suicide bombings, probably the most cowardly stance of
all by Palestinians.

Only a few voices denounce suicide bombings
for what they are.The destruction of the Jewish synagogues adds more Palestinian
sin to the tragedy.

No difference between Jews,
Zionism

Palestinians have argued from the beginning that they are
not against Jews, but against Zionism.
Yet, when the opportunity came to
distinguish between Jews and Zionism, Palestinians chose to treat them both the
same.

Palestinians in Gaza enraged by the 38 years of Israel’s
oppressive occupation there rampaged and burned down many if not all of the
synagogues.

It is a disgusting thought. It has put lie to the
Palestinian claim that they do not hate Jews. It is an outright act of
anti-Semitism and Palestinian leaders should have done more to protect those
synagogues which were less symbols of the settler fanatics, but rather symbols
of a religion that is a sibling to Islam and Arab Christianity.


Normally its a great read for the humor, he is a comedian by trade, but it is also intresting to get a palestinian view on things, even if his view unfortinitly isn't mainstream.
