Proud Papa According to this Reuters story, the father of the bomber who slaughtered 20 Israelis, most high school kids, is proud of his boy's accomplishment.
Mohammed al-Ghoul was a student of Islamic studies at al-Najah University in the West Bank city of Nablus. He had apparently disappeared about three days ago. His father told Reuters from his home in the al-Fara refugee camp, near Nablus, that he was "very happy" to hear that his son was the bomber.
Most fathers are proud when their kids hit a home run in a baseball game, or score a goal in soccer. Palestinian fathers are proud when their sons become mass murderers of children.
The time for making excuses is over. The Palestinian culture is diseased beyond hope of a cure, and needs to be put down like a rabid dog.
