May Your House Fall on You
This little tidbit of good news is brought to you via The Jerusalem Post and courtesy of the Shin Bet security service:
"May your house fall on you" ranks as one of Arabic's cruelest curses. In the sleepy hamlet of Assira a-Shamaliya, near Nablus, last Wednesday, two families of the Jawabra clan paid a heavy price to avoid this blight: They handed over their daughters, suspected of planning a double suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, to the IDF.
Before daybreak, a Shin Bet security service field agent known locally as Gilad pointed to the predawn sky.
"Hear that," he said on separate visits to the two families, "that plane will destroy your house if you don't surrender your daughter to the authorities."
By noon the families of Lina and Adilah Jawabra – cousins, roommates, and terror suspects – dropped off their daughters not at their elementary education class at Nablus's an-Najah University, but an IDF checkpoint.
Well done!
