MOMMAS, DON'T LET YOUR BABIES GROW UP TO BE INTACT

The mother of Muhammed Faisal Saksak, the 21-year-old suicide bomber who carried out Monday's attack in Eilat, said she was aware of her son's plan to blow himself up and that she had wished him "good luck..."

Ruwaidah, 43, said she last saw her son on Friday morning, when he walked out of his home in the Slateen neighborhood near Bet Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.

"As he walked out of the house, he asked me to wish him good luck," she said. "I wished him good luck and I knew of his decision to become a martyr. Although I was aware of his intention, I did not know exactly when he was planning to carry out a martyrdom attack."

She also made sure he was wearing clean underwear, which must give her a chuckle in retrospect.

Other pieces of advice Palestinian moms give their precious little darlings before they leave the shack:

Look both ways before crossing the street to blow up a bakery full of filthy Jews.
Never talk to strangers, unless they're Jews, in which case you're allowed to tell them "Allah Akbar" before you destroy them.
If you drop a piece of food on the ground, you can still eat it as long as you pick it up within 5 seconds. Unless it's a bagel, because that means you haven't wiped out all the Jews yet.
Always wash your hands after using the toilet or handling Semtex.
If you just follow your heart and believe in yourself, you can blow up anything!

P.S. Don't ever do a Google image search for "suicide bomber." Forget the Bactine, Mom!
