SIGNIFICANCE OF
MARTYRDOM
OPERATION IN TEL AVIV
by our Palestine monitor
Imagine two
Jews
creeping out of the Warsaw ghetto and attacking the
Nazi occupation forces in Poland. For days the Nazis have been committing
atrocities against the Jews, having fun shooting at civilian targets,
using artillery against "suspects." Then the two martyrs emerge and hit the
Nazis.
Twenty three occupiers are killed, including several "workers" from East
Europe helping them in their dirty work. The west is joyous and acclaims the
martyrs: special bulletins are issued from Washington and London
acclaiming the two heroes who sacrificed themselves.
...... The reality was different. The Jews seldom fought back. In fact
the Jews often worked as "capos" to help the Nazis imprison the other
Jews.
PALESTINE IS DIFFERENT. Here a defenseless people refuse to submit. The
two martyrs (from Nablus) sacrificed themselves but they broke through
the most intense and powerful security system in the world. That
breakthrough in
itself was heroic. The oppressed people of the world were electrified
by the
sacrifice of the two martyrs. For weeks, the
Israeli
Jews have been killing
Palestinian civilians, a TEN YEAR old shot by the Jews, a FOUR YEAR OLD
SHOT
BY THE JEWS, an old couple blown away by an Israeli tank's shell, a
Palestinian child crushed under the debris of a house demolished by the
Jews.... The atrocities go on daily, Islamic leaders, activists,
teachers,
humanitarians assassinated and the murders justified on
U.S.
TV.
And then the martyrs strike. The whole world of the oppressed masses,
from Morocco to the Philippines, from
Chechnia
to
Nigeria,
gets up and cheers
(Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar wa lillahil hamd). Is it at all surprising?
Only President
Bush
doesn't get it. He issues an automatic condemnation
of the attack. Not a word out of him about the Palestinian children,
not a word about the homes demolished by the Jews, not a word about
ambulances not
allowed to take Palestinians to hospital as they slowly bled to death.
To quote Mr. Bush: "Sharon is a man of peace." With a friend like
Bush, Americans don't need enemies.
