Arab Paper: Samson Was the First Shaheed (IsraelNN.com)
In an attempt to show that Jews and not Arabs are not to blame for inventing suicide killings, an Arab newspaper article claims that biblical hero Samson – known in Hebrew as Shimshon Hagibor – was the first 'shaheed' (martyr). The article in Al Itihad, which is published in the United Arab Emirates, quotes the passages from the Book of Judges which describe Samson's final act of heroism, in which he brought down a Philistine temple, killing the enemy leadership along with himself.
The article appears under the headline: "Suicide Bombings [sic] Began with the Jews and Did Not End with Kamikazes." It describes suicide attacks throughout history, mentioning the Japanese kamikaze pilots of World War 2, the Sri Lankan Tamil Tigers and the Spaniards in the civil war of the 1930s as examples of forces which used this tactic.
