#1 I suppose it's a silly question asking if the widows wanted to marry, or not.
And whether they got to chose their new husbands.

The whole thing sounds exactly like being sold into slavery.

#2 The widows had multiple children in many cases, probably little in the way of savings, and equally probably no salable skills, Redneck Jim. Their choices are limited.

#4 Sounds to me they are just recycling, Paleo style.

#5 if the widows are only 100 then the IDF is not doing a proper job.

#6 Have these ladies considered gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion? I mean those gents have good educations, steady jobs and salaries, electricity and plumbing, don't physically abuse, and a lot less likely to die horribly in combat. What more could a recently single woman with children ask for?

#7 Big deal. The Moonies did this decades ago.

#8 IIRC the Moonies, while nuts on the Paleo level, weren't trying to remediate for their stupid "kick me" action/consequences...

they've got all these widows & kids with no support, now they draw some dumb family bastard in with the "honor, p*ssy" offer, and Hamas is off the hook. Hey! Call me cynical. You'd be right

#9 One young man, Jibril al-Na'ooq, 20, married the 25-year-old wife of his dead uncle

Palestinian cougars? Who knew?
