But did she ever say she was proud of her son?? I never heard such a thing... But I could be wrong
i think you are missing the point. we are not talking about the acts of the child. we are talking about the love of the parent.
i linked to that post because it was germaine to the discussion.
people may not notice this and it really doesn't matter much, but i am not really all that big on condemning people for whatever. i do it, sure but...
for instance...
capt. r. who confirmed the kill. i never condemned him. i tried to understand the causes. i condemn the situation and practices that put him in that position.
most of us do not rise above being pawns.
and it does not matter if baruch gokdstein's mother was proud of nher son. what matters nin this discussion is that i would not condemn her for being so.
Well, I'd condemn Goldstein's mother if she were proud of her son for what he did at Abraham's Tomb, but I guess everyone has different values.
i do not understand why this is so difficult to understand.
parents should be proud of and love and respect and teach and try to understand and forgive, if need be, their children. they do not have to be proud of every single thing they do.
here is the part you will not like to hear. um nidal's son, muhammad, has been accused of conducting a terror attack at a school and killing children.
what he did was conduct a military attack on the atzmona (one of the most brutal settlements in gaza and not even authorised by the israeli government) army prepatory yeshiva, a post high school prepatory school that trained men to serve in elite IDF units. all of these children were 18 years old or older.
that certainly changes the picture. her other two sons, also accused of conducting suicide attacks in the thread, did no such thing. one was killed by bombs planted by israeli intelligence and the other by an israeli military airstrike. he had a qassam rocket on his car.
now, whether you like what her sons did or not, and i am sure you don't, it is a far, far cry from what they did and what they are alleged to have done.
do you really thinks it helps dispel the stereotype of "deceptive jew" when such deceptions as the one about muhammad farhat, umm nidals son, are perpetrated on people.
why do you all do this. what am i and others supposed to think.
