Wheelchair Didn't Stop Yassin's Reign of Terror
(Indianapolis Star) Pierre M. Atlas - Yassin became a quadriplegic after an accident when he was 12. Being wheelchair-bound did not prevent him from founding Hamas in 1988 or from sanctioning its charter, which advocates the creation of an Islamic state "over every inch of Palestine." Hamas is also largely responsible for the culture of death that is taking over Palestinian society. Its kindergartens teach suicidal martyrdom as a virtue, and its "military wing" has perpetrated the vast majority of bombings against Israelis since the mid-1990s. Hamas began its terror campaign when Yitzhak Rabin was prime minister and Palestinian self-rule was being established in line with the Oslo accords.
