Virgin Video on Arafat's TV promise 70 Virgins for homicide bombers, By Michael Widlanski

When Palestinian terrorists blow themselves up in order to murder as many Israelis as possible, are they acting out of despair or out of hope?

A new Palestinian movie video, which aired today (June 27) on Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation gives an inside view into Palestinian thinking that may supply the answers.

A dark-haired and good-looking 35-year-old Arab man is seen walking with an attractive woman of about the same age.

It is clear that she is his wife or his girl-friend and that he loves her, but the movie has no dialogue or written on-screen text, only background music and some very clear and heavy suggestions.

The movie clip, which preceded and introduced the 3PM afternoon news, is about Palestinian “martyrdom”—its causes and its rewards.

The man and his wife see Israeli army (IDF) soldiers, and frowns darken their features, and the music is very morose.

The young man clearly starts thinking about how to strike out at the Israeli soldiers.

Almost immediately, the music changes to a more optimistic tone as, out of a kind of mist, stunningly beautiful young women—between 18 and 22 years of age—begin to beckon to him.

The gorgeous women, who are younger than his wife, are all clad in billowy white robes. They are all smiling fetchingly as they call to him, making motions with their hands as if to say “come-here” and “join us.”

We next see the man after he is captured by the IDF following an apparent attack on them.

But, as the music takes on another sinister twist, the Israelis deliberately release the Palestinian man.

Their plan is clear: they are going to kill the handsome Arab man “while trying to escape.”

He appears as a target in the cross-hairs of an Israeli automatic rifle.

His wife cries, her face screwed up in agony, but the end is not sad.

The camera moves quickly from the bereaved widow to the new Palestinian martyr who is smiling in paradise.

One of the gorgeous women in white greets him and pulls him into the mist where she and seven or eight beautiful women begin to surround him and gently caress him.

The video ends on a happy note without a word having been said, but the message is clear: here is the Islamic tradition of a martyr being welcomed into paradise where he will be ministered by 72 beautiful virgins.

But is this movie clip a message of hope or despair?

Israeli intelligence and psychological experts—inside the IDF as well as Israeli universities-- have been forming their conclusions, without the benefit of this latest video, but the movie clip seems to reinforce their general conclusion.

The suicide bombers act out of a combination, that butchering Israeli woman and children is the way to be an Islamic hero. Palestinians also believe when they kill Jewish woman and children, 72 virgins await them.

Micheal Kleiner an Israeli Arab expert said, The way Arabs think. The way to get honor and respect, is when you blow yourself up along with some innocent Jewish mothers and babies, your picture will be plastered on posters throughout your hometown. Your family will acquire a revered place in society and will also receive $25,000 in American currency from Saddam Hussein. You meanwhile, will get to fulfill all of your wildest and repressed sexual fantasies with 72 virgins in heaven.

Only the Pal Arabs consider it a great moment for Islam, when they kill children in a mall, bus or disco and then celebrate afterwards.
