Terror organization Hezbollah rewards organizers of suicide bombings with monetary bonuses for each person killed in the attacks.

According to a Dow Jones Newswire report the Lebanon-based group has a pay-by-the-death policy.

The bonus amounts to several hundred dollars for each individual killed in bombings.

According to the report, Palestinian militants have said the size of payment is based on the size of the attack, but that there is no fixed scale for victims. The news service says the terrorists normally received tens of thousands of dollars from Hezbollah for individual attacks. Other payments from the group go toward ammunition, cellular phone cards and other expenses.

The most recent bombing on Sunday killed eight Israelis and was claimed by the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, part of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement. Al Aqsa has been one of the main recipients of Hezbollah money, the London Guardian reported.

Dow Jones noted that two years ago, then-Iraqi president Saddam Hussein began paying $25,000 to the family of suicide bombers, increasing the amount from $10,000.

Obstacles to Peace.

The phrase is familiar to those of us who follow the news out of the Middle East routinely, habitually, obsessively, year in and decade out — in short, more than is good for any sane person.

Obstacles to Peace can be safely defined as anything the Israelis are doing at the moment.

So when the Israelis put up a barrier to keep guerrillas and suicide bombers out, they're erecting . . . an obstacle to peace. And the United Nations is sure to condemn them for it.

The U.N. now has sicced the International Court of Justice at the Hague onto the Israelis' wall, asking for an advisory opinion. As if the U.N. ever needed advice before condemning Israel. Just look at the record:

The Jewish state is the only one of the UN's 100-some-odd members, and some are very odd indeed, to be excluded from serving on its Security Council.

In passing its annual resolution condemning religious intolerance, the U.N.'s General Assembly deliberately excludes any mention of anti-Semitism.

When all is said and nothing done, there really is only one real obstacle to peace in the Middle East: Israel's existence. That's the only thing Yasser Arafat's Fatah, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and all those other peace-loving outfits seek to remove.

And the United Nations has gone along, time after time. It sponsored the most rabid anti-Semitic rally since Nuremberg at Durban, South Africa, just in time to kick off the latest Intifada.

Israel remains the only country in the world not allowed to designate its own capital, Jerusalem. At least not at the United Nations. Or in Washington, for that matter.

As Yasser Arafat tried to tell Bill Clinton at Camp David, just before rejecting still another Israeli peace offer, the Jews have no historical connection to the Temple Mount. (Which would have surprised King David.)

Martin Luther King Jr. called Zionism the national liberation movement of the Jewish people. In 1975, the General Assembly of the United Nations called it an international crime.

The American ambassador to the U.N. at the time, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, summed up that resolution in one word: Obscene. His impassioned protest before the U.N. remains one of the great appeals for justice in the history of that temple of hypocrisy. ("The United States rises to declare before the General Assembly of the United Nations, and before the world, that it does not acknowledge, it will not abide by, it will never acquiesce in this infamous act.")

Now the world court has been summoned to pass judgment on Israel's wall.

Never mind that the United Nations has already condemned the barrier in the best tradition of verdict-first, advisory-opinion-later justice.

American and European diplomats have objected to the court's taking this case despite its own rules. (Those rules bar the court from considering "contentious issues" without the consent of all parties to the case.) But the objections from the West have been discreet, politic, legalistic and oh-so-diplomatic.

No one says it out loud: A lynch mob in black robes is still a lynch mob.

This time the United States of America has not risen to denounce these proceedings for the moral outrage they are. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, he dead.

It's explained that the United Nations isn't being anti-Semitic when it tolerates the vilest anti-Jewish canards, ghettoizes the Jewish state, takes it to court for seeking to defend itself . . . . No, the U.N. is only questioning Israel's policies. Just doing what's necessary.

All of which reminds me of an old joke: What's an anti-Semite? Answer: Someone who hates Jews more than is absolutely necessary.

At least I used to think it was a joke.

Adrian Monk, television's obsessive detective, would have no problem spotting the real criminal at work here, or at least the accessory before, after and during the fact. The clues are as numerous as all those U.N. resolutions.

To quote the show's theme song, an amusing little ditty by Randy Newman:


It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care . . .
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried, too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much . . . might . . . just. . . kill . . . you!
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so
It's a jungle out there.

At least I used to think it was amusing.

I THINK THIS IS ALL COMPLETELY ONE-SIDES.

YOU ARE BUYING INTO A DEADLY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN HERE.

THIS ISLAMIC TERROR IS GOING TO DESTROY YOUR WOURLD AS YOU KNOW IT.

OPEN YOUR EYES CAUSE IT WILL COME TO YOUR DOORWAYS ONE DAY.

SHIET-SUNI WARS ARE NEXT, AL-QUIDA ALREADY HAS ATOMIC BOMB.

TIE A BOMB TO YOUR CHILD, AND GET PAID FOR IT?

CAN YOU DO IT? HOW LOW IS THAT?

IF YOU CAN STAND ASIDE, AND LOOK AT THE BIG POLITICAL PICTURE,
YOU'LL SOON REALIZE NOT TO TAKE THE SIDE OF JIHADI'S !

BECAUSE SOON IT WILL COME KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR.

1ST IT'S JEWS, AND CHRISTIANS ARE NEXT! IT WON'T END AT THE WALL.

Suicide attacks on Isreal are already massivly down. The wall is working and the wails of protest going up from the Arab terror aparatus and it's useful idiots in the west are deafening. Terrorism will soon be locked out as a means of political leaverage, and with the Arab dictatorships beaten in three wars, the USSR sugardaddy bankrupt and America's heartland full of hatred for muslim fanatics due to 911, Arafat is running out of options.

The wall WILL go up.

Without jews to kill, the innate savagry and depravity of the Palestinians, cultivated through 50 years of ignorance and indoctination, will turn violently on itself. we are already seeing the beginnings of this coming Palestinian 'civil war', the tension in Gaza, the violence now directed at Arafat's organisatoion itself, the posturing and threats of the new factions.

Arab will begin to kill Arab, as they have done for millenia, bloodshed, infighting and treachery being the oldest Arab games. And no-one will care. If the carnage can't be blamed on Jews or Americans the UN, the regional dictatorships and our own wonderful compassionate left will simple drop the Palestinians like a useless toy and move onto something else.

A black day is coming, but not for Isreal, Sharon has nearly won the war of the python and the wall's coils are tightening on what's left of the glorious 'intefada'. As for the wall itself, you peace creeps don't like it? Then why don't you tear it down? What's stopping you? Oh yes, the entire armed might of the IDF.

Good luck, idiots, you're too dumb to know it, but you've already lost.
