On this date in 2001, Hamas bombed the Sbarro Pizza restaurant in Jerusalem.
15 people were killed, including 7 children.
The bombing was celebrated as a great victory for Palestinians, including by Palestinian university students.
Ahlam Tamimi, the women who led the suicide bomber to the location, was a journalism student at Bir Zeit University:
A former Palestinian newscaster, Ahlam Tamimi, recalls the day she dropped a suicide bomber off at his target, then coolly went on television to report on the resulting bombing.
Tamimi was treated as a hero on Palestinian television:
Tamimi was released in 2011 as part of the mass prisoner release to secure the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. The release included the people behind many of the highest profile acts of terror, including the Butcher of Ramallah.
Tamimi remains unrepentent (video via IDF Blog, which has more):
The woman is a savage. We shouldn’t be afraid to say it.

yuck.
Unfortunately, from my experience racism against Jewish folk is pretty common in the Palestinian community.
Of the seven Palestinian families that I’ve worked with over the last two years, the children of six have made make passing comments about threatening to kill Jewish people.
There is little more disturbing when you hear this as a matter of fact statement from an eight year old child, especially so when it is directed at one of your employees that has had no contact with the child or family but was recognized as being Jewish.
“We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.” Golda Mier.
It’s a journey that will require generations; they haven’t even begun.
Those corrupt and sad Muslim regimes in the Middle East have sown the wind, and they are reaping the whirlwind. Islamists don’t just kill Jews: they kill each other, and anybody who disagrees with them, and they use the killing of Jews as an excuse to kill anybody, for any reason or no reason. They bring poverty, misery and crime wherever they go. They bring shame on the name of Allah, and on Islam, by their actions.
Such are the penalties for blasphemy.
There was a time when I thought that religion was something that didn’t really belong in public discussion, and certainly sectarian preferences have no place in our political discussion about candidates. What I did not know then was how thoroughly our society is permeated by notions of fair play and substantial justice, which are in turn rooted in a religious concept.
According to the Torah, and as quoted by Jesus Christ, there are two basic Commandments: “Love God,” and “Love your neighbor” — everything else is commentary.
The Islamists have rejected the Second Commandment. And, look at the results they get.
Valerie, your untruths are getting on my last nerve, and I hope Wm doesn’t ban me for for what I’m going to say.
You wrote: “They bring shame on the name of Allah, and on Islam, by their actions.” Bullshit, Valerie, pure, plain, unadulterated bullshit! You’re a bloody apologist for a murderous ideology. Shame on the name of Allah, my rear end. Shame on Islam? Bullshit!
Allah is a bloody monster, a demon from the darkest pit of hell who wants blood and death as oblation and propitiatory offerings. There is no way the actions of any Muslim could bring shame on either Allah or Islam because the bloody stinking Koran preaches bloodshed and heady murder for the sake of Allah as the way to paradise. Killing Jews and Christians, slaughtering anybody who will not accept the foulness of Islam and bow down before its demon Allah earns Muslims paradise.
Stop trying to deceive people, Valerie. Stop lying about what Islam is.
My goodness, I came in here relaxed and your falsehoods concerning Islam and Allah have spiked my BP. Stop pretending that Islam has anything to do with Judaism and Christianity. Stop pretending that it is anything like either of the two great religions. Islam is not. It is a new hellish creation that is a vile perverse synthesis of Judaism, Christianity, and ancient Arab paganism. The patriarchs and prophets of the OT of Judaism and Christianity are not recognizable as the same. They have been warped in the service of a false ideology in the worship of demon from the very pits of hell.
Well said. But really, it wasn’t necessary to sugar-coat it just for us.
” They bring shame on the name of Allah, and on Islam, by their actions.”
It’s funny how Muslims have never managed to get Islam right — ever since the sociopathic “prophet” and his merry band of marauders, and the golden age of the four “Rightly Guided Caliphs” with its jostling for power and assassinations, and the rapid, brutal conquest of large stretches of territory (including the original heart of Christendom), and the destruction of numerous more advanced civilizations (including the long brutalization of India), and the centuries of pounding at the shores of Europe and raiding monasteries and killing monks and enslaving white Christians and black Africans, and piracy on the high seas in the name of Allah, on to the routine bombings of churches and temples and schools in Asia and Africa today by people proclaiming the greatness of Allah, and the mobs calling for the beheading of those who insult Islam, and the demands to criminalize any criticism of Islam globally, and of course the pathological, genocidal hatred of Jews as scapegoats for all the manifest failures of Muslims — it’s just such a shame that so many people keep giving a bad name to Islam, isn’t it?
Yep. Ca. 1400 years and they still don’t have it sorted out… except they’re supposed to kill everyone that doesn’t agree. Or agree completely. Or correctly.
Islam is a foul parody of Judaism and Christianity, dreamed up by Mohamed (my opinion as an atheistic pagan) or, in Christian or Jewish terms, a satanic religion. It is ultimately self destructive, and certainly destructive of all other faiths. There is nothing good about Islam. It leads the followers to hate, murder, rob, rape, and enslave others, including other Moslems who are of slightly different faith.
Our culture has become too effete to deal with barbarians. Either our culture will change or we will succumb.
I’m glad you brought this topic up. I had been worried, now that your back from Israel, you wouldn’t be posting on what’s going on there, anymore. And, a lot is going on.
This woman was released in 2011, when the captured soldier, Gilad Shalit, was exchanged for 1000 prisoners.
First, and foremost, we’re dealing with a corrupt UN. Since “stealing prisoners” is not really part of the Geneva Convention.
This time, ahead, the craven Bibi (and his elite ministers) are willing to release murderers because the “talks” are getting worldwide attention, and headline space.
For Hillary, “reporting on Benghazi’s disaster” went to Congress and said: “WHY DOES IT MATTER ANYMORE?”
We are now awash in hennas who have no moral compass at all. There’s no way Israeli politicians aren’t aware of this. While it seems politicians can do whatever they want, because like our republican system, power rules, PERIOD. People vote in those who get to exercise power.
And, for these “deals” it takes two to tango.
The Zimmerman trial showed the world that a judge WITH NO MORAL COMPASS AT ALL … could watch an innocent man get tortured in her courtroom. And, the ONLY reason the jury came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict … is at no time did the state provide a single piece of evidence. Instead? The state hired a bozo for a medical examiner. And, then the state tried to take Zimmerman’s calls for help as something, along with beating Zimmerman, Trayvon did. Maybe, to add insult to injury, Trayvon was trying to kill Zimmerman with his breath.
The category is: NO MORAL COMPASS AT ALL!
And, in Israeli courts, this show stupper occurred with a man who LEGALLY BOUGHT an ancient box that could have been Jesus’ brother James resting place.
How did the Israeli courts do this? For ten years the man was put through trials, where the state tried to show the antiquity WASN’T. But it was. And, it is.
So now the Israeli Supreme Court won’t return any of this man’s treasures. And, the state stole hundreds of pieces!
But this one box in particular now has the state of Israel claiming it’s ancient. And, those treasures go to the state.
What about everything that got stolen from this man? What about, after the first trail was over, the judge directed ALL this property returned to the man? Wasn’t.
NO LEGAL SYSTEM IN THE WORLD IS WORTH ITS SALT IF AT THE TOP NO ONE IS USING A MORAL COMPASS.
The difference between right and wrong.
And, the media? They just want their stories to make money. The money’s not taken away from them. The government does nothing. It’s all about who gets to have the biggest HA HA HA.
While GOOD PEOPLE are still equipped to tell the difference. O’Mara left this bit out of his close. But it does explain our Founding Fathers way of setting up trials by jury. (No matter how corrupt the police, and the lawyers can be, you’re supposed to judge the evidence for what it’s worth.)
terrorists like this are no different than rabid dogs: you can’t reason with them, you can’t cure them, and you can’t live with them, so you need to kill them every time you find one.
the world will be a better place without them.
These people’s are animals devoid of human sensibility.
On the contrary – they have sensibilities that animals do not possess ( that we know of ) .
Animals do not follow a Lion King or have little books with rules. Mostly they do what is needed for survival .
No. She is evil. Animals cannot choose evil, she did.
This woman has blood on her hands and hatred in her heart. Her Creator, who is not Allah, but the One True God will bring about justice for the 15 people she murdered. In the Kingdom of God there is justice. Wait and see. “Vengeance is mine says the Lord, I will repay.”
If she’s a savage – and no doubt she is – then what of the people who celebrate and honor her?
“Palestinians” don’t want peace. Three generations of their Arab brethren refusing to help with a solution (except for Jordan which, to its credit, has tried more than all the other Arab nations combined) and egging on their barbarism has unfortunately “baked it into” the cultural cake. Every child is indoctrinated by anti-Israel, anti-Jew, pro-jihad propaganda on their children’s television shows.
Truth be told, Israel has done more for the direct benefit of the “Palestinians” than all the Arabs, including their own leadership.
The laws of antiquities is very interesting & says a lot about what we are in each nation.
Ditto the courts . But as Justice Roberts alluded to – courts have their limits & every disagreement cannot be legally solved or refereed.
It’s back to the lions den of the public.
