At one time, Mariam Farahat was a mother of six, but, with her encouragement, three of her sons blew themselves up on suicide missions to murder innocent Israeli citizens, so now she's a mother of only three. Farahat is famous in Gaza for a recruitment video in which she shows her 17-year-old son how to kill Israelis in a suicide attack and then tells him not to come back. For her willingness to sacrifice her children in a spiraling culture of death, Farahat became famous as Um Nidal—Mother of the Struggle. Along with several dozen other Hamas terrorists, Farahat was just elected to the new Palestinian Legislative Council.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
