A PALESTINIAN FAMILY: Today's NY Times has a chilling account (and equally chilling photo) of another mother who only wants the best for her son:

Just what the Israelis were up against was suggested by a videotape, released by the militant group Hamas, which claimed responsibility for the attack, showing the Palestinian killed in the clash, 23-year-old Muhammad al-Abed.
He is seen holding hands with his mother, Naima al-Abed, then gently kissing her on the head, and placing his green fighter's headband with an Islamic inscription over her white scarf. "I am not losing you because you are going to paradise," the mother tells her son on the tape. "Our message to the Israeli occupiers and killers is that this is our land. And our sons that we love are no more dear to us than our land. Their blood will redeem it."
