Politics: The Occupation part 1

There are a lot of people who blame their personal failures or some unsolved personality issues with the most trampled mantra "It's because the Occupation"

there is no peace? its "Because of the Occupation"
the government is dysfunctional? its its "Because of the Occupation"
the economy is bad? its "Because of the Occupation"
the islamofascistic Koranimals killing us? - its "Because of the Occupation"
the islamofascistic Koranimals killing each other?- its "Because of the Occupation"
the Ozone layer is thinning? its "Because of the Occupation"


So, couple of months ago there was an interview with a captured "suicide bomber" who failed to detonate and was captured,
lets see what he said:

Reporter: Why do you want to become a suicide bomber?
BOMBER: I originally decided to become a martyr after I saw what the Israeli army did in the refugee camp of Jenin in the big military campaign of April, 2002.

But this idea became stronger when I understood what status I will have in heaven if I scarify myself for Allah. Every time somebody else dies as a martyr in a suicide bomb attack, I pray for him but I feel jealous. I want to be where he is now and I pray that Allah will one day offer me this occasion and this honor.

now we have to remember what exactly was in Jenin, and what the Arabs were screaming then...


(Palestinian leaders accused the Jewish state of a "massacre," claiming the Israeli Defense Forces killed over 500 Palestinian civilians, including many women and children.

It was later determined 56 Palestinians, mostly gunmen, were killed in the raid, which followed a series of deadly suicide attacks inside Israel that were reportedly planned and directed from the terror infrastructure in Jenin. Twenty-three Israeli soldiers died in the Jenin battle, in which IDF troops conducted house-to-house searches to minimize civilian casualties by avoiding air attacks.)


then comes the next question:

Reporter: Is your main motivation for becoming a bomber is to serve Allah?
BOMBER: Yes, of course. Allah gave Muslims the possibility to gain their prize and payment in different ways. There are those (Muslims) who pray and fast only and respect Allah's commandments, and there are those who wish a higher prize. And the highest prize is given to those who scarify themselves, their lives, their bodies and everything in this world.

and then this "non-brainwashed" "freedom fighter" /sarcazm off

was asked this question:

Reporter: What you are saying is interesting because a lot of academics in the United States and many of my colleagues in the media claim Palestinians become suicide bombers because they are poor and desperate and because of so-called Israeli occupation. Are you telling me these are not the reasons you want to blow yourself up amongst Israelis?


BOMBER: The will to scarify myself for Allah is the first and most major reason. It is true that the Zionists are occupying our lands and that it is our religious duty to fight them, including through suicide attacks. The goal is not the killing of the Jews, but that this is the way to reach Allah.

The goal is satisfying Allah and his instructions. No money interests, nothing. No brainwash, no pressure; it is my decision. All the other lies are pathetic Israeli propaganda.

I pray that Allah gives me the honor to be dead in an operation. This is the supreme and the noblest way to ascend to Allah.

These martyrs have special status in the next world and have bigger chances to watch Allah's face and enjoy the magnificent pleasures he offers us.

'It is our duty to fight Jews but our goal is to please Allah'

So...

its still the "occupation?" right?
well, maybe its the occupation of Jewish ancestral land by Arabs (so called "Paleostinians") is the cause for all the problems in middle east...
