The BBC Arabic article claimed “fanatic Jews” fighting Roman invaders in ancient Jerusalem were the first example of suicide bombers.

    I did read the article, and my comment stands.

    Despite the clickbait and predictable outrage from the far right, the BBC originally published l an article titled “the story of suicide bombers throughout history: From the fanatical Jews, through the assassins, to the jihadists.” Suicide attacks go back as far as the Bible, as I said above.
