The Palestinian Culture of Death: A nightmare out of a science fiction story
A person in an overcoat is a deadly threat (Heinlein's Puppet Masters), violent death is glorified (Sheckley's Victim from Space) and dissidents are killed (Logan's Run)
-
Why aren't the two citizens at the left wearing shirts?
-
Why do they want to shoot the man in the overcoat?
 |
Making the overcoat slightly transparent answers
both questions.
In
Robert A. Heinlein's The Puppet Masters, Earth has been invaded
by parasites from Titan, a moon of Saturn. The parasites control their
victim by attaching themselves to his or her spinal column as shown.
The
government instuted "Operation Bare Back" to assure that no one was
carrying
a parasite. (Everyone's worried about the onset of autumn, which will
make
it impossible to continue in this manner.) Wearing a bulky jacket or an
overcoat was an invitation to be blasted through the chest on the spot.
Such nightmares, of course, exist only in the world of
science fiction...
|
...and now, thanks to the Palestinian culture
of death,
in Israel.
|
When "Operation Bare Back" prevented the
parasites from
hiding on people's backs, the government instituted "Schedule Sun Tan"
in which people wore even less. The parasites preferred the
spinal
column but they could control a victim even through a finger.
Vigilantes
saw a woman who was wearing nothing at all except for a purse, which
she
never put down or even transferred from one hand to the other. They
blasted
her arm off (replacement limbs were readily available). The parasite in
the purse was still alive, "but not for long." The Palestinians
also
have become more creative in delivering their instruments of death:
-
A baby or a doll's head on a package of explosives?
-
Is the Palestinian businessman checking his watch to see if he's on
time
for his appointment with a client, or is this terrorist checking to see
when the bomb in his briefcase is going to explode?
-
Is the ambulance carrying patients or munitions and terrorists?
-
A house of worship or a gun emplacement?
A female homicide bomber disguised her explosives as a pregnancy.
Perhaps
she was going to go into an Israeli hospital to "give birth" to her
"Palestinian
baby." |
Science
fiction author Robert Sheckley wrote a story (The Victim from Space)
about a world whose inhabitants wanted to die violently. Violent death
was earned by performing deeds that served the society, with "rewards"
(in ascending order) consisting of being bashed over the head with a
mace,
having poisoned slivers driven under one's fingernails, being burned
alive,
being staked out on an anthill, and something known as "The Ultimate."
Suicide, such as arranging to have a tree with long spines fall on
yourself
or arranging to have a bridge collapse under you, was considered a sin
that resulted in punishment in the afterlife.
The Palestinians have actually succeeded in creating a culture of
death in which children are raised almost from infancy to become
walking
bombs. Schoolteachers extol the virtues of "martyrdom" for the
Palestinian
cause, and the children don't notice that these teachers don't seem to
be in any big hurry themselves. Any normal human (any mammalian, in
fact)
mother's primary concern is the safety of her children but Palestinian
mothers celebrate when their children detonate themselves among Israeli
civilians.

Report: "Palestinian Media Watch": Pressures
Exerted on Palestinian Children to seek Shahada - Death for
Allah
TV: Child Writes to Mother, "Rejoice over My Death" By
Nadav Shragai Ha'aretz January 8, 2003:
"Ask for Death - the life will be given to you." This
slogan,
which was broadcast on Palestinian television on July 5th of last year,
was also the headline chosen by the authors of Palestinian Media Watch
as the title of their 40th research report. This report examines the
social
pressure exerted by the Palestinian Authority [PA] on children to die
as
"Shahids" [Death for Allah].
|
...Marcus and his colleagues have concluded that, having been
exposed
to such
messages, young Palestinian children from the ages of six till
nine play "death" games and role-play the dead. Children between the
ages
of 10 to 13 express the will to die, sometimes in televised interviews,
and from the age of 14 some even take part in suicide attacks. |
"As for what a true martyr can expect, Chief Mufti of the Palestinian
Authority Police, Sheik Abd Al-Salam Skheidm, spelled it out in 1999.
"From
the moment his first drop of blood spills, he feels no pain and he is
absolved
of all his sins; he sees his seat in heaven; he is spared the
tortures
of the grave; he is spared the horrors of the Day of Judgment; he is
married
to 70 black-eyed women; he can vouch for 70 of his family members to
enter
paradise; he earns the crown of glory, whose precious stone is worth
all
the world." (Mona Charen, "U.S. needs to recognize differences
between
Palestinian, Israeli responses.")
Ending the Culture of Death in Logan's Run
In the science fiction story Logan's Run,
everyone was euthanized at the age of 21 (30 in the movie with Michael
York and Jenny Agutter). Everyone had been indoctrinated to accept the
idea of being euthanized at the end of their state-mandated life span.
The few who thought something was wrong with this were hunted down and
killed by "sandmen" (i.e. they were "put to sleep"), just as the
Palestinians lynch anyone who thinks there is something wrong with
indoctrinating children to be homicide bombers. To end this "culture of
death," it was effectively necessary to destroy the entire society.
This did not mean killing its members but rather destroying its entire
government (a computer, which exploded cooperatively when it was
presented with data that didn't fit its parameters).
- Japan had to destroy its own culture, in which samurai
ruled the country and could in theory kill any non-samurai for any
reason, to modernize itself during the Meiji Restoration. This led to a
civil war in which samurai who were unwilling to accept Westernization
were defeated by the new national army. (The Last Samurai may portray these events; I haven't seen it yet.)
- Kemal Ataturk banned the fez in post-Ottoman Empire Turkey,
to emphasize the fact that Islam would not be part of the new secular
government.
- The United States had to destroy Japan's culture of emperor worship in 1945 to make a permanent end of Japanese militarism.
- The Allies also had to de-Nazify Germany in 1945.
Gaza under Palestinian Control
The anarchy predicted for Gaza has become a reality. It is
now ruled by warlords, armed gangs, an terrorists, with no independent
judiciary or anything like the rule of law.
...the killing of Jews is presented as a relgious obligation-- labeling them the enemies of Allah, all to be annhilated.
...This notion of the shahid martyr
has become so ingrained in the Palestinian culture that it is a major
theme of formal education, family values, religious practices,
television broadcasting, posters, pre-suicide eulogies, trading cards,
family celebrations, movies, music, games, and summer camp. A study by
a Palestinian psychiatrist, Shafik Massalah, found that over half of
the Palestinian population ages 5 to 11 dreams of becoming a suicide
bomber. The same Maadi said on PA-controlled television, "Shame upon he
who does not educate his children in the education of jihad. Blessings
upon he who dons a vest of explosives on himself or on his children and
goes upon the midst of the Jews." Yet the international media and many
governments say almost nothing about these vicious trends. (Mortimer Zuckerman, "A Fulcrum Moment." U.S. News & World Report, December 19 2005)
There can be no peace with the Palestinians until the Palestinian culture of death is eradicated.
