Editor: We must all stop referring to homicidal maniacs as suicide
bombers. When Jews accept that description, who can blame the rest
of the world for thinking that they are suicides and sublimate the
fact that their primary goal is murder. Surely, the correct name
for them is murderers. The sooner we all use the description of
murderers repeatedly when referring to these mad people, the sooner
the non-Jewish population will start calling them murderers as well.
Our aim must be to get all people recognizing them as murderers
not suicide bombers.
