Why Palestinian Mothers Will Now Be Stopped At Checkpoints

JPost article on the arrest of a Palestinian mother of 7 kids who was transporting a bomb belt for a suicide bomber.

..."because of you and others like you, our soldiers will be forced from now on to examine every Palestinian woman and regard her as a security risk. You have violated the unwritten code that took into account the dignity of the Palestinian woman. You have violated our most fundamental belief that women, and especially mothers of children, remain outside the terrible circle of terror, outside the hunts and searches. You are the first one to destroy the concept. Your innocent friends, on their way to the doctor or visiting their families, will pay the price of your act at the checkpoints."
