INCITEMENT OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN TO VIOLENCE
PALESTINIANS TEACH HATE
CHILDREN OF SUICIDE TERRORIST INTERVIEWED
Reem Riyashi  (1982 – 2004) was a Palestinian mother of two from Gaza City who  killed herself and four Israelis  at the Erez crossing on January 14, 2004. Her suicide bombing was jointly claimed by Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade (the militant faction of Fatah). When she reached the  metal detector  at the  Erez checkpoint , Riyashi pretended to be crippled and claimed to have metal plates in her leg which would sound the alarm. Riyashi asked to have a body search instead. After being taken to an area where a group of soldiers and policemen were checking bags, she was told to wait for a woman to come and search her in a cubicle. It was then that she  detonated the explosive device. Seven Israelis and four Palestinians  were  injured. THEIR MOTHER: REEM RIYASHI
TO THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE Your life is being harmed by irresponsible elements who exploit you by firing missiles from in between your houses at the Israeli settlements. These missiles backfire on you causing only destruction and loss of your source of living without leaving you any road to hope. Be aware !!! that firing missiles from your area will compel the Israeli Defense Forces to act in your area and to hit missile-launching elements in any place they act from. Get rid of terror which leads you to the bottom. Follow the road of hope. Do not allow the terrorists to come close to your area. WARNING LEAFLETS

Her suicide bombing was jointly claimed by Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade (the militant faction of Fatah). When she reached the metal detector at the Erez checkpoint , Riyashi pretended to be crippled and claimed to have metal plates in her leg which would sound the alarm.

After being taken to an area where a group of soldiers and policemen were checking bags, she was told to wait for a woman to come and search her in a cubicle. It was then that she detonated the explosive device. Seven Israelis and four Palestinians were injured. THEIR MOTHER: REEM RIYASHI
