Palestinian Widow Decries Suicide Bombing

The Globe and Mail reports on the widow of a Palestinian husband and father killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber. Perhaps, enough Palestinians are finally realizing that most Israelis want peace with them.

"I have always thought that this bombing is wrong, and now it has found me in my own home," Mrs. al-Tawil said, dressed in the head scarf of a devout Muslim and the dark mourning clothes of a new widow.

"Suicide bombings are a big mistake. Jews are like us. They are on their way to work. This is against the will of God. They are ordinary people like us."


Why would the Israelis actually help the kids of Palestinians if they really just wanted to murder them in the end???
...A plasterer by trade, Mr. al-Tawil took a job just over a year ago cleaning at Hadassah Hospital. He wanted to work there to be closer to his 13-year-old daughter, Iman, who has Down syndrome and is being treated at the hospital for leukemia. When she was in hospital for long periods, he often slept in the room with her.
