U American Heart Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE Los Angeles (JTA) — Six days be- fore a young Palestinian terror- ist strapped explosives around his waist and drove his bicycle into an Israeli checkpoint, he was interviewed by a Simon Wiesen- thal Center consultant studying the mind-set of radical Islamic terrorists. In the Nov. 11 attack in the Gaza Strip, 21-year old Hisham Ismail Hamad obliterated him- self and three Israeli soldiers, and wounded 11 other Israelis and Palestinians. Mr. Hamad was among a group of Islamic Jihad militants who talked openly with Kenneth , Timmerman about their aims and beliefs. Mr. Timmerman is an international security expert who has previously undertaken studies for the Wiesenthal Cen- ter on Iraqi chemical warfare ca- pabilities and Iranian and Libyan weapons programs. The meeting took place on Nov. 5 in an abandoned parking garage in Gaza, near the home of Hani Abed, a Palestinian jour- nalist and suspected terrorist, killed by a car bomb on Nov. 2. Islamic Jihad has blamed Israel for Abed's death and vowed re- venge. What struck Mr. Timmerman, a non-Jew, as "scary" was the rit- ualistic incitement to hatred of all Jews, at the meeting and in the Gaza streets. "The streets outside Hani Abed's mourning house were filled with graffiti and huge ban- ners proclaiming revenge," re- ported Mr. Timmerman. " 'Yes to martyrdom,' read one banner. The slaughter of Jews is our choice to victory,' read an- other. The children of Israel will be the sheep for the butchers of the Islamic Jihad,' read a third," said Mr. Timmerman. Inside the meeting place, the hatred of Jews was the most ex- treme Mr. Timmerman had wit- nessed in many years of talking with Arab militants, he said in a telephone interview. Mr. Hamad told the group that "According to the Torah, the Jews say they are the leaders of na- tions. But in fact, Israel wants to destroy the world. They want to destroy American society, French society, British society. They want to destroy the whole world. But we believe Israel will be destroyed by Muslims. This is what the Koran says." At another point, perhaps an- ticipating his own death, Mr. Hamad said, "Hani Abed, peace be upon him, is blessed today in heaven. He is not dead. No, he is hap- py. That is why the women are ululating. They are happy be- cause he has given himself to Al- lah." Mr. Timmerman preceded the Gaza meeting with interviews in Damascus and Amman with leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood. "In 15 years of covering the (Palestine liberation Organiza- tion), I have never encountered such rank anti-Semitism," Mr. Timmerman said. "For instance, I never heard PLO officials men- tion The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, but the Hamas and Is- lamic Jihad men believe this old czarist forgery is the absolute truth." Islamic Jihad claimed it is training a suicide brigade. The fight against such terror- ists will be long and difficult, said Mr. Timmerman. "The bombers are generally be- tween 14 and 22, without chil- dren of their own and without a police record that would make them suspicious to the Israeli au- thorities," he said. "Once select- ed, they are indoctrinated into the ways of sacrifice. Or, if you prefer, prepared like sacrificial lambs for the knife. "To persuade young men like Hamad to blow themselves up, Islamic Jihad goes to great lengths to separate them from their families, sealing them off in a bubble of hate-filled rhetoric that makes their choice of death seem rational, even sublime." Mr. Timmerman said he would not presume to advise Is- raeli and other security services on how to fight the terrorists, but warned that while the supply of suicide bombers was limited, more than a few seemed to be willing. From the longer perspective, Mr. Timmerman believes that "the breeding ground of terror- ism is the grinding poverty in Gaza," and with the recent con- frontations between PLO Chair- man Yassir Arafat and the Islamic extremists, the situation is likely to get worse. "Only massive infusion of for- eign aid and investments will help Gaza residents, but with each new act of violence, foreign investors are scared off, the poverty gets worse, and violence increases. It's a vicious cycle," said Mr. Timmerman.
