Family 'proud' of suicide bomber
October 6, 2003

The parents of a Palestinian suicide bomber who killed 19 people at a
restaurant in northern Israel have spoken of their pride in their daughter,
and said she had avenged the death of her brother at the hands of the
Israeli army.

Hanadi Tayssir Jaradat, 29, who worked as a lawyer in the centre of the West
Bank town of Jenin, was a devout Muslim who would assiduously pray and read
the Koran, her parents said.

The unmarried woman had witnessed the death of her brother, Fadi Jaradat,
and cousin, Saleh Jaradat, during an Israeli army operation in Jenin on June
12. Both were members of the radical Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.

"She saw the killing in the house of her brother and cousin three months
ago," her mother, Umm Fadi, said. "She was deeply upset, as she was very
close to her brother.

"I am happy with her because she has killed those who have killed my son.
They kill us every day, and demolish our homes every day."

Speaking in a neighbour's house, after the family home was destroyed by the
Israeli army early today, Umm Fadi said that she had had no idea what her
daughter was about to do.

She said her daughter had left home as usual at 7.30 am on Saturday (1530
AEST), as she headed off for the market.

But instead of travelling to her office in Jenin, Jaradat headed for the
northern city of Haifa with an explosive device that she detonated in the
Maxim restaurant, a business co-owned by Jewish and Arab families, about
seven hours later.

"She was very normal," said Umm Fadi. "But when I heard that there was an
explosion in Haifa, I tried to call her. As a mother, I felt something might
have happened.

"Then the television said it was Hanadi. I was very shocked."

Her father also spoke of his pride, as the Al-Jazeera Arab satellite channel
played a video of his daughter shortly before she embarked on her suicide
mission.

"I am very proud of what she has done," Tayssir Jaradat said.

"She is a very strong person. She would pray and read the Koran every day."

In a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, Islamic Jihad said
that it had been a response "to the Israeli crimes which continue against
our people and our fighters".

Israeli government spokesman Jonathan Peled said that there had now been 121
suicide bombings against Israeli targets since the start of the Palestinian
intifada, or uprising, just over three years ago.

"There is no way of profiling a suicide bomber," he said. "Whoever resorts
to a suicide bombing has no respect for human life."

Yup. You kill someone, you turn their friends and relatives into enemies.
Now more Jews hate more Arabs. Tomorrow some Arabs will be killed and more
Arabs will hate more Jews. And so it continues. There is little future for
the region until the cycle is broken.
