GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP - A Palestinian who sent her son on a suicide mission against Israel has been taking civics lessons to prep for her new assignment - becoming a legislator. Signaling the start of the Hamas era, Mariam Farhat will be among 74 members of the Islamic militant group to take the oath of office and assume control of the Palestinian parliament today. Farhat and others in Hamas are confident they’ll be able to govern, even alleviate poverty in the West Bank and Gaza, with help from God and cash from the Muslim world.
On this week’s episode of “Rolling With The Religion of Peace©”, join Jack as he continues his campaign to have a fatwa issued on his sorry @$$. But don’t get too close…you might end up included in the collateral damage.
I’m sorry, but if you send your son off to kill innocent civilians as a suicide bomber, shouldn’t you be drummed out of the mother’s union? You gave life, and yet you have sanctioned that life taking not only his own life, but those of innumerable innocent civilians, whose only crime was in being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You are the lowest, most vile form of human life. Yet if you’re Palestinian, you get voted into Parliament. Yes, life is good for Mariam Asshat Farhat, who now gets to see if she can help turn the Palestinian Authority into an honest-to-God (no pun intended) functional government. She may be a monster, but she’ll certainly fit in with the rest of the ignorant, self-absorbed, intolerant zealots.
Of course, making the transition from murderous, foaming-at-the-mouth zealotry to being a sitting member of Parliament does present some interesting challenges ,but if you’re Ms. Asshat Farhat, you see no contradiction in your roles. After all, when you’ve made the ultimate sacrifice of contributing your son to the cause of killing Zionist infidels, you’re probably long-since convinced of the absolute righteousness of your cause. Whatever….
Farhat, the incoming Hamas lawmaker, also brushed aside money woes, saying Muslim countries would come to the rescue.
In recent days, she and others in the Hamas faction were taught by the group’s leaders about parliamentary procedures and assigned responsibilities. Women will preside over welfare, health and education, and Farhat said she’s eager to improve Gaza’s hospitals and increase stipends for the poor.
Demure in a gray robe, the mother of 10 got into parliament as the unlikely symbol of holy war, or jihad, against Israel. Three of her six sons died violent deaths, and one of Hamas’ top bomb makers, Emad Akel, was killed in a hail of Israeli fire in her front yard after hiding in her basement for a year.
In 2002, Farhat sent her 18-year-old son, Mohammed, on a suicide mission, a shooting rampage in the Jewish settlement of Atzmona that killed five Israeli teenagers.
Farhat is unapologetic. She said she cries for her boys, but that “jihad comes ahead of everything, including my feelings as a mother.”
Man, if a suicide bomber is guaranteed 72 Virgins in Heaven, what does the mother of a suicide bomber get? Well, how about a seat in Parliament? She’s already guaranteed a special place in Hell….
