Unfortunatelly, I can neither remember the title nor the author's name. His last name started with an M, and the first name might have been Ari, Ariel or Avri. Maybe someone can give me a hint? I would like to recommend the study to a friend.<BR/><BR/>The author had analysed biographies, video messages, interviews with relatives and detered suicide bombers, etc. If my memory does not deceive me completely, the findings vitiated the usual hypothesis on the motivation. For instance, the vast majority of the terrorists was rather middle class than poor, had not lost friends or relatives in clashes with the IDF and had not experienced violence through Israeli hands. However, many had expressed phantasies on becoming famous and regarded suicide bombings as a respectable and efficient way to make those dreams come true.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-22351604789016783922009-01-21T17:26:00.000+02:002009-01-21T17:26:00.000+02:00Yaacov, I'm more than delighted to see that you do...Yaacov, I'm more than delighted to see that you don't stick with your resolutions re. blogging abstinence!!!

Few of the mainstream media outlets have commented on the fact that the anti-Israel demonstrations seemed to be 90% Moslem, with a sprinkling of leftists. Polls show Israel/Jews hated in Greece and Spain, but much less so in other countries. The question is whether there is a silent majority of Europeans who fear the Moslems in their midst, and (like the Arab leaders in the Middle East) quietly cheer Israel in our battle against Hamas and other terrorist groups, hoping that it chastens their European Moslem neighbors into desisting from their own radicalism? Or am I just kidding myself?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
