[Joe Dees 1] As to what Palestinians seem to be worth to some of their relatives: I was incorrect concerning the amount of money Saddam Hussein offers the families of Palestinian suicide bombers; it is not 50k per, but half as much - 25k per, and this amount was only recently increased from 10k per. This of course means that, of the percentage of the 70+ Palestinian families of suicide bombers who encouraged their relatives (mostly children and young adults) to commit suicide bombings, they were doing so in the expectation of receiving only half as much from Saddam Hussein. Of course, they also receive aid from Hamas and from some Saudi-based Islamic charities.
[Hermit 2] Encourage? For the money? I really pity you.
[Hermit 2] How much money would you have to be offered for you to want to persuade your hypothetical children to commit suicide?
[Joe Dees 3] Unlike, apparently, scores of Palestinian parents, no amount would suffice.
[Hermit 4] If that is the case, why do you assume that this is the case for Palestinians?
[Joe Dees 5] When economics and ideology unite, a noxious combination is produced.
[Hermit 6] So Joe, what combination of ideology and economics would it take to persuade you to send your hypothetical children off to commit suicide?
