“Not what Betty Friedan had in mind”

November 8, 2006 - 3:54 PM by Sarah

Lots of angry discussion lately about Islamic Jihad’s recruitment of women to perform suicide attacks against Israel, Palestinian women acting as human shields to protect the men who are creating rockets to point at Sderot, and other terrorist activity by females.

By WestBankMama:

Ynetnews.com reports this morning that a women’s terror cell has been busted. The IDF arrested six women working for Islamic Jihad who were primarily involved in transfering funds.

They said that they received $100 for each money transfer they accomplished. (Is that the going rate or are they being shortchanged? Maybe Shelly Ichimovitz can look into this….)

In addition, a female suicide bomber blew herself up near soldiers in the Gaza strip. She died, one soldier was hurt slightly. I don’t think this is what Betty Friedan had in mind.

Aussie Dave:

Of course, as we learned yesterday, it is permitted in Islam for women to be exposed when carrying out a terrorist attack (I will continue to maintain this until someone provides Quranic proof showing otherwise).

It’s good to see that uncovered meat has a use – besides satiating cats, that is.

SnoopyTheGoon (who is rather well-informed for someone who calls himself SnoopyTheGoon):

It did not take a long time to happen. First, the women are unashamedly used to protect the bandits hiding in a mosque. Then, with assistance of sympathetic media, the story is presented as a case of IDF intentionally shooting at women.

And now the next step – adding another myth in the saga of Palestinian “martyrs”. Comes in the infamous Aljazeera.com with a histrionic headline:

Palest. women martyrs against the Israeli occupation

“In another episode of protesting against the belligerent occupation of the Israeli forces to the Palestinian territories, we see not male resistance fighters being killed, but the women of Palestine, desperate to shield their men; sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers from the Israeli murderers.”

Yes, indeed – a shameless attempt to create a smoke and mirrors screen around one of the more brazen stories of blatant and calculated use of women to shield the terrorists.

And you know what: being familiar with the dynamics of Palywood propaganda machine, I am certain that this attempt will succeed. In a few months we’ll see another one of the Palestinian alphabet soup of countless gangs of “martyrs” proudly bearing the name like “Women martyrs of Beit Hanoun”.
