Why do some Palestinians ?

Why do some Palestinians below themselves up?

The women casually asked me why the Palestinians below up themselves to kill innocent people. Is it something in the Islamic teaching? she wondered.
Reflecting on this insinuating question I started thinking myself, why couldn't the Palestinians tell their own tragic human story to the world in a less dramatic fashion? Islam teaches us in wars to never kill enemy civilians, children, women, elders, animals or even trees.
Now everyone is asking the Palestinians to stop the violence and no one attempts to understand why this is happening. In the age of TV images, Internet and sound bites, we only hear about those few so called suicide bombers killing Israeli civilians, as if those Palestinian fanatics are doomed to blow themselves up because they can't help it - they are angry Arab or Muslim fundamentalists.
The biggest problem that the Palestinians have in this age of story telling is the fact that in the last five decades they couldn't control whose story the world was hearing. People who were fixated on telling their own personal story were drowned out by the people who they represented e.g. Nasser, Saddam, Assed, PLO, Yasser, Hamas, Ben Eladin, Ramzi and those so called suicidal bombers. The Palestinians may have the best story to tell but the worst story tellers.
For decades, millions of Palestinian Diasporas have been held hostage and living as refugees as a collective punishment for a few lunatics who decided to blow up buildings, airplanes or shopping malls. They always are asked to stop the violence, before they can be given their freedom, their land, their houses, and their olive trees back.
The recent publishing of the Michelle report about the Middle East conflict is jumping on the same bandwagon and is demanding that Palestinians stop the violence before there can be any peace talks.
Is it worth anyone's time here to try to understand why some desperate Palestinian youths below themselves up in Israelis shopping malls and bus stations? Is it enough for us to just know that these desperate lunatics are Arab or just Muslim extremists who should simply be left alone? Could it be that they are evil by nature and for them there is only the quick fix of demolishing their houses and bombing them into submission.
We go to great lengths to get into Senator Kerry's mind and selective memory, desperately trying to understand the evil condition that forced him to slaughter the civilians in Vietnam. No one bothers to understand the devastation and emotional impact on the very same victims who had survived the actual nightmare. We never stop trying to analyze Mr. McVeigh's twisted mind, helplessly grasping for a rational explanation for his horrifying act that killed 165 people and injured hundreds more. Experts and academics spent countless hours trying to explain why Susan Smith, a mother of two children, would strap her boys into a car and drive them into a lake. Eventually we were told that an extra marital affair was the reason for these horrific deaths. And Mr. Dahmer, we were led to believe by psychologists, was a victim of an abusive childhood, which drove him to his sadistic killing and cannibalization of his neighbor victims.
Why do all those people commit heinous violence? asked once the Newsweek special issues. Are they evil? Or we are a civilized nation that has lost its soul?
Violence committed by some individuals will bring hundreds of experts to the table to discuss the conditions and reasons, as if those individuals are not cable of committing such a heinous act. However, those few Arab or Muslim killers for some reason are violent with devilish genes and are driven by the sword and not the soul.
The victims of the victims have never been able to get their story to the international community.
While Israel commands the moral ear of the western world since the Jewish persecution in Europe, the Palestinians experience discontent and rejection. Their story was told by undemocratic tyrants, unselected Kings, corrupt leaders and desperate individuals.
In the spirit of the celebration of the Jewish state's Independence Day, I am reminded by the Palestinians "Nakbah" catastrophe. Millions of Palestinians' reality 52 years ago was erased and changed forever by a 2000-year-old interpretation of prophecies and a divine real estate promise that now gives people who had lived thousands of miles away the right to claim its title. And those who had the real title were forced to leave. Now they are asked to stop the violence before they are recognized as people, civilized people.
There is no excuse for violence and killing civilians or innocent people regardless of your cause or intention, but it is worth mention for the Israelis and the world to try to understand the nature of Palestinians' violence and their determination to have their own state.
