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.
