This might make you cry .... but
DO NOT CRY FOR
MARTYRS :
THEY ARE IN HEAVEN
Sis. Hiba Daraghmeh, Pride of Palestine, Pride of
Islam
The New York Times
,
in its May 30 issue,
published a typical slanted
article on the Palestinian martyr, 19-year old
Hiba Daraghmeh. Hiba broke
through the
Jewish
security ring dressed as an
Israeli
in jeans and t-shirt to
attack the occupied town of Afula. Her father did
not know that after taking the
complete face veil, she had secretly joined the
Islamic Jihad movement. She was
majoring in English and wanted to go on to Ph.D
in English one day. {After
the attack, the Jews demolished her father's
house although he did not even know
what she was doing.]
The last two paragraphs of the New York Times
report are worth quoting. A
good editor would have started the report with
these:
"One student recalled that two weeks before the
attack Ms. Daraghmeh gave
away her books, saying she was going to "a
university very far away." Another
student, 19, said that on the day before the
attack Ms. Daraghmeh seemed very
happy.
"I asked her, `How come you're happy?" said the
woman, who insisted that her
name not be published. "She said, `Later you'll
know.' "
