I’m serious – what would Hamas have to do in order to be more evil? Is there anything that would really beat this:
Senior Hamas figures who have consulted about the subject recently are inclined to support only the use of women who have desecrated rules of “family honor.”
…some of the organization’s leaders condone the use of women in terror strikes, particularly in situations where a woman can carry out the assignment more easily (since she is likely to cause less suspicion at crossing points), and when the woman has transgressed moral norms. In such cases, a woman’s “sacrifice” atones for the “stain” she has caused to her family for violating moral codes.
Hamas’s solution to women who slated for honor killings is for them to… kill themselves. So if you’re a woman who like, I dunno, talked out of turn or something (who knows what it takes to desecrate Muslim “family honor”), you do still have to die. But if you kill Jewish children on your way out, at least you won’t be a stain on your family. So that’s something.
UPDATE: AK Sommer has an IMRI translation of a Yediot Aharonot story up on this issue. It appears that this sick policy is not something for the future – Reem Al-Reyashi apparently killed herself because she had been caught having an illicit love affair and needed to restore her family’s honor. Sick sick sick sick.
