From the nationalist movement that gave the world the "spiritual leadership" of Sheik Ahmad Yassin comes the latest terror bomber. As reported by the Guardian, "The Israeli army said yesterday that Hassam Mohammed Hufni Abdo, a 14-year-old Palestinian boy who tried to kill soldiers at a West Bank checkpoint with a belt of explosives strapped to his body, would have been the youngest Palestinian suicide bomber." Consider the perversion of one's human nature necessary for one to intimidate a 14 year old boy into an act of suicide and murder. Would you negotiate with such people?
