No sympathy for Bombing Victims in Hebron
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Hebron is a city of about 100,000 Palestinians and about 800
Jews, not counting the Jews of Kiryat Arba nearby. Some 20
suicide bombers set out or attempted to set out from this
city in the past three years.
A day after the bombing, reporters could not find a single
person in Hebron who expressed sympathy for the murdered
victims or for their families.
Nabil Mesk, a cousin of the murderer, said, "It was his
decision. He was a faithful Muslim who taught the Koran and
knew it by heart." Nabil denied that those murdered were
civilians. "In Israel, people are soldiers from the age of
one to 100."
Standing with his back to "martyr" posters of the city's
recently killed Islamic Jihad chief, Muhammad Sider, an
information technology student did not see anything wrong
with the attack. None of the students at the university there
was willing to admit that Israel is anything but 100 percent
at fault for the escalating violence.
