ISRAEL REMEMBERS
  Fifteen people were killed and 57 wounded when a homicide bomber exploded
himself at a Rishon Letzion pool hall late Tuesday night, THE JERUSALEM POST
reported. The following are the names of the
victims who lost their lives:

Nawa Hinawi, 51, of Tel Aviv, a Christian Arab whose dream of being a
grandmother was cut short when she was killed in the blast. Noa was a
hairdresser and described by friends as a "loving and warm person." She is
survived by her three sons.

Yitzhak Bablar, 57, and his wife, Esther Bablar, 54, of Bat Yam were high
school sweethearts, but after school went their separate ways and married
other people. Thirty years later, Esther made a trip from the United States
to Israel and bumped intoYitzchak and they rekindled their love for one
another. Friends described their love like "Romeo and Juliet, their love was
huge, bigger than life." Yitzchak is survived by his three children from his
first marriage and Esther is survived by her three children from her former
marriage.

Nir Lobatin, 29, of Rishon Letzion, was born into a traditional family in
Herzliya. He was married and his wife is expecting twins. He owned a
cleaning service and often met clients at the Sheffeild club.

Pnina Hickri, 63, of Tel Aviv, was a housewife who raised four children.
"Mom and Dad liked to go out and enjoy themselves," said Assaf Hickri, her
son said. Her husband, Eliahu, was also at the club but suffered no
injuries.

Sharuch Rassan, 60, of  Holon, was at the club with his wife, Shaku, who was
lightly injured and is receiving treatment at Beilinson Hospital. The couple
immigrated to Israel from Iran in 1974 and owned a store that sells Jewish
religious articles. Sharuch was very active in his local synagogue.

Shoshana Magmari, 51, of Tel Aviv, worked as a caregiver, but was on
vacation after having completed treatment for cancer. On Tuesday night, she
went to visit friends, who suggested they go to the Sheffield club. She is
survived by her husband, three children and five grandchildren

Rafael Haim, 46, of  Tel Aviv, went to the Sheffield Club on Tuesday night
for the first time. Haim's family immigrated from Iraq when he was 11. He is
survived by his wife, six children and 16 grandchildren.

Dalia Massa, 56, of Rishon Letzion, worked as a cook at the WIZO youth
village outside Rishon Letzion. She was widowed two years ago, and had gone
to the club with a friend. Massa died on the operating table. She is
survived by her daughter, a student at Tel Aviv University, and nine
brothers.

Yisrael Shikar, 49 of Rishon Letzion, grew up in Bat Yam and accomplished
his lifelong dream of owning a private villa in Rishon Letzion. Shikar is
survived by his parents, wife, three children, a grandson and two brothers.

Avi Baiz, 26, of Nes Ziona, was in charge of a shift at the Kapulsky coffee
shop in a shopping mall located near Tuesday night's attack. He was planning
to go to a beach cafe, and went into the club to call his friend when the
bomb went off. Baiz is survived by his parents and three brothers.

Anat Tremporush, 36, of Ashdod, went with her husband to visit a friend at
the Sheffield club when the bomb went off killing her instantly and injuring
her husband Danny.

Edna Cohen, 61, of Holon, and her husband Avraham were celebrating their
44th wedding anniversary at the club. Edna was near the suicide bomber and
was killed instantly. Avraham was seriously injured. Edna is survived by her
husband, four children and 11 grandchildren.

Rahamim Kimche, 57, of Rishon Letzion,  became a taxi driver after suffering
a serious work accident 12 years ago in which he lost a leg. On Tuesday
night, he had gone to pick up a fare from the pool club. When the customer
did not come down, Kimche went to look for him and was killed by the blast.
He leaves a wife, three children and two grandchildren.

Malka Regina Boslan, 62, of Jaffa, made aliyah with her mother from Turkey
when she was a teenager. Her father died when she was a little girl. At one
time she was homeless. She married twice and had five children. The
Sheffield club was her refuge. Her son in-law descibes her as a "charming
woman."

The Facts

09.05.2002 22:46

There can no longer be any doubt. America is transforming into a police state. Local and state governments, megaglobal corporations and even communist dictatorships are being merged globally into a colossal world government.

This world government is hell-bent on consolidating the resources of individuals, governments, sole-proprietorships, churches, charities, political parties, and armies under its unaccountable, unelected quasi-governmental bureaucracies, like the WTO, IMF, World Bank, Central Banks,i.e. US Regional Governorship (Federal Reserve).

As individual as well as institutional resistance mounts to this modern megalomaniacal takeover, the control-freak psychotics of the CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group are using all of their considerable influence to create a perceived enemy threat to the expanding paramilitary forces bristling at every layer of government.

The new enemy, the new threat is, in reality, the lone individual simply trying to live his or her life who wishes to control their own destiny. Make no mistake, you are slated for dehumanization.

To you I ask the question: If we have gone along quietly with all of the overt despotic outrages, like land grabbing, gun grabbing, the attacks on national sovereignty, deindustrialization, out-of-control regulation and an endless list of other horrors without becoming violent, what is it that the establishment has planned, using its occupational government, that is so bad that its social engineers know that we will revolt in mass?

The preparations for mass oppression have been underway for decades. Remember this, we are 280 million Americans. We outnumber the dehumanizers and their power-mad minions conservatively 500 to 1.

Be aggressive, be bold, spread the word from coast to coast, never turn in your guns, mobilize, use our most powerful weapon -- the truth about the wickedness of world government, the enemy's own publications, to discredit them with their own words.

Never surrender.
