Female Palestinian Homicide Bomber
Islamic Jihad is taking credit for sending a teenaged female suicide/homicide bomber to blow herself up in an attempt to kill Israeli Soldiers.

Angel, of Woman Honor Thyself notes that the media is referring to the Islamic Jihad as an 'ultra radical group'. Ultra-radical? How much more radical is that from 'radical islamic groups'? It must be a lot more radical than just plain ol' jihadists.
The picture on the left shows smoke billowing from the Gaza district in which the teenaged girl blew herself up.
Angel also comments on the danger these kinds of actions put all muslim women in. They female suicide bombers, who can hide their bombs under their billowing burkas.
Remember a couple of days ago when armed Palestinian men who had been firing upon Israeli Soldiers from a mosque called out for the women to protect them. They sent for the women to come to the mosque and act as human shields and escort the men out of the situation? A few of the women were shot while escorting their males from the mosque. It was immediately reported that Israeli troops shot the women. Is there any surprise that now it appears it was the Palestinian men who actually shot them so they could blame Israelis for doing it? It's certainly not the first time they have killed their own people just to be able to accuse Israelis of doing it.
That's a pattern of behavior we've seen many times before.
What kind of men use women to hide behind or send teenaged girls to blow themselves up to fight against trained Soldiers? What kind of men would put their women in danger in order to protect themselves? It's inconceivable.
In the midst of all this escalating violence between Hamas and Israel, different factions of the Palestinian government are having talks about changing their government in an attempt to get the West to ease sanctions against the Hamas-led government.
The assumption seems to be that it is Hamas that is the problem in Palestine, as opposed to Palestine.
So much for making any real changes in their government. It sounds like more of the same, just with different names.

GAZA CITY (AFP) - A Palestinian teenage girl has blown herself up in an attack against Israeli troops, as Israel pressed an offensive in the Gaza Strip that has left 55 Palestinians and one soldier dead in six days.
Four Palestinians, including three militants from the armed wing of the ruling Ham–as party, were killed by Israeli troops as a fourth Pal–estinian succumbed to his wounds and the woman staged a suicide bombing.

An Israeli soldier was lightly wounded …
Nevertheless Defence Minister Amir Peretz vowed that Israel’s Operation Autumn Clouds would continue until its objective to lessen rocket attacks on the Jewish state was met. Israel launched its latest blitz aiming to stop militants from launching rockets into its territory, but 36 such rockets have struck the Jewish state since last Wednesday….

"Soldiers called on the woman to stop, then she blew herself up," an Israeli army spokesman said.

And…Who cares if they have now successfully put all A-rab women at risk. If they get shot at, they can always accuse the Israelis of gunning for ahem…”innocent civilians, like women and children” eh?

The assumption seems to be that it is Hamas that is the problem in Palestine, as opposed to Palestine.
In comments ahead of his expected meeting with Abbas, Haniyeh said Hamas wanted a unity government dedicated to "lifting the siege and ending the suffering of the Palestinian people".
But Hamas spokesmen have stressed it will never recognize Israel or join a government that did, rejecting one of the main conditions set by the "Quartet" of Middle East peace brokers for renewing direct aid to the Palestinian Authority.
