AP Bias Alert Level: Obvious (Grandma Suicide Bomber Edition)
Oh, the poor dear:
Matriarch who lost grandson in conflict with Israelis turns into suicide bomber. The oldest Palestinian suicide bomber, a 64-year-old widow, lived in a one-room shack and had so many grandchildren that relatives lost track of the number, but her daughter said Fatma Omar An-Najar was driven to lay down her life in an attack on Israelis Thursday because one grandson was killed and another disabled in clashes with troops.
Hey, you know what matriarchs who lost grandsons haven't turned into murderous lunatics? Every. Single. Israeli. Grandmother. who's lost a grandson to Palestinian viciousness.
Her oldest daughter, Fatheya, said she and her mother had taken part in rally at a Gaza mosque three weeks ago, where women defied a cordon of heavily-armed Israeli troops to create a diversion for besieged Hamas fighters to slip away. "She and I, we went to the mosque. We were looking for martyrdom," she said. A veteran Hamas supporter, she sheltered fugitive militants during the first Palestinian uprising of 1987-1993, they said.
Ah - not only was she a suicide bomber this week, but last week she was a voluntary human shield. What a charming woman. Definitely a worthy target for journalistic fawning.
