The young red haired very good looking palestinian woman who committed suicide and killed an Israeli and wounded others, was no islamic fundamentalist at all. She was a red crescent nurse, helping others. Then, suddenly she got fed up and did it. This shows it's not religion that can drive people to this, but desperation. Just like the millions who commit suicide all over the world: lack of understanding, , not being allowed to express oneself, lack of recognition, no honor in being alive while being under total and constant humiliation.
There is a new trend, this past week, it seems: the Palestinians are after the soldiers and the settlers in the occupied territories, not the civilians within the recognized Israeli borders.
I'm sure neither the Egyptian nor the Jordanian governments want Israel dead. Nobody wants Israel's death but everybody wants his dignity back. That can be done without having to destroy a whole culture or country.
