Fifth Column at NIU

In the Northern Illinois University student newspaper, a rabidly seething article by an Arab student attacks Israel for curfews and roadblocks, and casually dismisses suicide bombings as if they were weather patterns, blameless forces of nature, nothing to do with Palestinian terror gangs: The Fake Roadmap to peace.

The curfews are so frustrating; times are 2 or 3 p.m.

During these obnoxious curfews, people are not allowed to leave their homes. If they are caught leaving their homes, they could get arrested or worse, shot and killed.

I have this theory about the checkpoints, the ridiculous curfews and the mean anal-retentive soldiers. They want to make the Palestinians stay locked up in their homes until they are crazy enough and desperate enough to want to kill themselves.

And then we wonder why so many of them become suicide bombers.

 Frank says:

On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standards of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express CREATIVELY his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole. -- from the liner notes of Freak Out.
