Suicide bombers to be checked out by a psychologist
By Jackie

First off: McKinzie Payne,
the Bully Buster... or whatever the name is, is now calling himself "natalie"
for the protection of his family? Secondly, I've tried numerous times
to remove myself from the list with no success.
And THIRD... HOW
does a "suicide bomber" escape?, or am I missing something here?
The controlled 'news' networks told us over and over that they are "still
searching for the suicide bomber who escaped..." Is that an oxymoron for
us morons who don't read between the lines? or am I missing something?
Here's another from the Israeli newspaper article below, for
example:
Ezra: "I'm talking
about there being a conversation between a psychologist with every one of
those suicide bombers and the psychologists will check what brought them
to suicide."
Even: "You mean the ones who are caught."
Ezra "The ones who are caught..."

Israeli minister calls for murder of families of Palestinian suicide
bombers
Israeli deputy public security minister Gideon Ezra has openly called for
Israel to murder the families of potential Palestinian suicide bombers.
The following is an excerpt from a column in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz,
today by Akiva Eldar. The full article (which also deals with other matters)
is entitled "Ask Clinton what he thinks about Camp David" appears

Family therapy
K., a Theresienstadt survivor, was distraught to the point of tears."What's
happening to us?" she asked. "Did you hear the deputy public security minister,
Gideon Ezra? I can't calm down. Now he's proposing on television to execute
the families of the Palestinian suicide bombers." K.said Ezra
didn't invent the system in which relatives are punished for the sins of
their fathers or sons. She remembers it well from the 1940s in occupied Europe.
But her Hebrew is not very good, and maybe she didn't really understand what
was said. Otherwise it's impossible that the Jewish state let such things
go right past its ears.
But K. wasn't wrong. Here are excerpts from an interview with Ezra broadcast
Sunday night on state television in the New Evening (Erev Hadash) program.
And none of his colleagues in the government protested.
Geula Even: "What idea do you have to chill the motivations of the suicide
bomber. You said something about harming their families. What does that
mean."
Ezra: "I'm talking about there being a conversation
between a psychologist with every one of those suicide bombers and the
psychologists will check what brought them to suicide."
Even: "You mean the ones who are caught."
Ezra "The ones who are caught. To learn about those who go out in the future.
If, for example, it turns out from the three [in Israeli
custody]that harming their family would have prevented them from going out
on a suicide mission, that's a possible answer..."
Even: "Just a minute, you're saying that if it turns out that by killing
the father of a suicide bomber it would prevent him from going to a discotheque
to blow himself up, then the parents should be eliminated?"
Ezra: Absolutely. You have to understand that we paid a price in children
and elderly and babies ... the suicide bomber should know that his family
will be wiped out, and that's better then him going out, and nobody will
get killed and there will be peace."
Historian Prof. Moshe Zimmerman of Hebrew University says the Nazis used
to arrest the families of people suspected of trying to undermine the regime
or harm its officials. "The method had a name - sippenhaft. They used it,
for example, when they caught the conspirators against Hitler in July 1944.
You know that if you act against the state, the entire family will suffer.
In the occupation areas, they made wide use of the method. If someone shot
a German soldier, he knew that if the assassin
wasn't caught,50 people would hang."
But if Ezra is looking for help from some of his former colleagues in the
Shin Bet to provide him with folklore about suicide bombers, he might end
up with a better method than the family treatment plan he's suggesting.
Someone at the Shin Bet no doubt noticed the sermon, broadcast on Palestinian
TV, from the Sheikh Il'ijun Mosque, as preached by Sheikh Isma'il al-Adouan:
"The shahid, if he meets Allah, is forgiven his first drop of blood; he's
saved from the grave's confines; he sees his seat in heaven; he's saved from
judgment day; he's given 72 dark-eyed women; he's an advocate for 70 members
of his family." If nobody at the Shin Bet has seen it, it's available through
the Middle East Media and Research Institute.
So who knows, Mr. Ezra. Maybe the family would hurry their dear son on the
way to the protektzia up there. Fortunately, Sharon has meanwhile announced
that he has found a way to deal with the security problem.
