Simply adorable: the cute kids of the third Intifada at NYT Magazine | Jerusalem Post - Blogs

' "That's all he writes about Ahlam Tamimi but we can tell you more. She is a Jordanian who was 21 years old and the news-reader on official Palestinian Authority television  when she signed on with Hamas to become a terrorist. She engineered, planned and helped execute a massacre in the center of Jerusalem on a hot summer afternoon in 2001. She chose the target, a restaurant filled with Jewish children . And she brought the bomb. The outcome (15 killed, a sixteenth still in a vegetative state today, 130 injured) was so uplifting to her that she has gone on camera again
and again to say, smiling into the camera lens, how proud she is of what she did. She is entirely free of regret . A convicted felon and a mass-murderer convicted on multiple homicide charges, she has never denied the role she embraced and justifies it fully." So this is the "much-loved" heroine of the "heroic villagers" that NYT Magazine promoted on its cover and in a lengthy feature story.'
