How was this a good idea?

It’s novel, I’ll give them that. Loading Granny down with explosives so she could blast her way into the headlines as their latest political statement is somewhat of a departure from the norm. But - that’s all it was. A political statement, a headline grabber.

The IDF saw her coming and because she was "acting suspiciously" they tossed a stun grenade at her. She then pulled the cord or pushed the button and blew herself to pieces before she could kill anyone else.

Why did this happen? How did it happen?

Strapping that old lady up with high explosives and sending her toward IDF soldiers had absolutely no military benefit. It gave no one any kind of tactical advantage. It was simply a cynical and murderous exercise in public relations.

Whoever was behind this actually had her make a martyr video in which she stands, holding an assault rifle and looking absurd, and says that she “hopes God accepts this.” She doesn’t look like a jihadi. She looks like someone’s grandma with a gun.

What kind of minds are at work here? The people who put together things like this are absolutely some of the most twisted people this world has ever known. But an even better question than asking what kind of animal would put something like this together is, why can’t their victims, the ones who end up loaded down with exposives and walking into a cafe on a sunny afternoon to kill people who’ve never done anything to them, why can’t they see they’re being used?

Their lives don’t mean anything at all to the con man manipulators who talk them into matrydom. Neither does their martydom, for that matter.They are nothing to these people.

There is no humanity in their puppet-masters. All they are to them are tomorrow’s newspaper article.

One of the maniacs who orchestrated this murder -and it was murder whether she set off the expolsives or not - was actually quoted as saying that they had told the Israelis that they would surprise them, and this was part of the surprise.

Well, I’m not surprised. At this point no sub-human act, no matter how brutal, those followers of the Religion of Peace perpetrate would surprise me. No horror is beneath them.

The old lady’s family buried the pieces of her yesterday. Consistent with the cultural insanity and collective mental illness that is now Islam they actually said to a sympathetic press how proud they were of her.

They’re being used too. And the radical Islamists couldn’t be happier about it.
