let’s assume for a minute that this lady actually tried to stab an Israeli soldier: (we have seen many times that knives were actually placed near a dead body after the soldiers killed / murdered a Palestinian). Should we not ponder and ask ourselves: Surely any Palestinian who tries to stab an Israeli knows that her/his life is finished. Either he/she will be dead or in jail for life. Therefore should we not ask ‘how desperate is her situation that she wants to end her life like this’?
Exactly!!!!
Should be asking yourself why people strap bombs to themselves while you’re at it.
