National Homicide...National Suicide


Tehran University to Host Conference on "Israel's End"

Iranian students are sponsoring an International Conference on Israel's End to discuss "supporting the Palestinian nation's righteous liberation movement and signs of the illegitimate Zionist regime's upcoming downfall."

The Phenomenon of Islamist National Suicide -Amnon Rubinstein

[C]ases of Islamist national suicide are not uncommon...

[P]rolonged war, death, destruction and national suicide were preferable to peaceful solutions. Dying is preferable to negotiating with infidels. The same conclusion is applicable to the Palestinians voting for Hamas, and to Iran's decision to confront the Security Council on acquiring nuclear weapons.

Suicide in the struggle against Israel has acquired a degree of legitimacy the West cannot even fathom. Israel, as well as the West, should be prepared for a long, irrational and costly war, unlike any other fought in the past.
