...to Iraq.
I kid you not.
From an absolute must-read piece on Harry's:
..."It might sound outrageous to suggest that the Friends of Sabeel want it made easier for Palestinians to kill Jews. But in June 2006 Baroness Tonge wrote complainingly in a letter to the Independent 'It should come as no surprise to anyone that suicide bombers in Iraq are Palestinians. Israel's security wall is forcing them to export themselves to another arena [...]' (my emphasis). Lest we forget, Baroness Tonge is a Patron of Friends of Sabeel UK and a very special friend of Christian Aid."...
Let's get this straight:
Israel's security wall is forcing them to export themselves to another arena
So in actual fact they are not blowing themselves up because that is only means available to them in their fight against Israeli Jews for freedom but because because in the 21st century it is their cultural means of self expression.
So all the excuses and pardoning of suicide bombing was just more moral posturing along with the "human rights" jingle in the fight against the Jews.
Hi Sopihia,
In Jpost's Jstreet series
J Street student head: We're pro-Israel
They also referred to "incorrect reports" on the decision, with student board president Sophia Manuel
Say it's not you.
In the comments #13 a challenge is thrown down to Sophia for a debate.

....You can bring as many of your chevra as you want, assuming they won't be intimidated to debate on the facts, NOT on the propaganda you are used to being fed. ....
I couldn't resist. :-)
OK, it's not me:)
Seriously the whole Jenny Tonge argument is appalling and it does seem to reflect the idea that suicide bombing is a cultural expression.
Carry that idea a little further and ask what on earth this has to do with state building?
Baroness Tonge is a piece of work by the way but she is hardly alone unfortunately.
