In the West Bank city of Itamar five members of the Fogel family were savagely murdered this weekend in a terrorist attack. The parents were stabbed to death, the children, an 11 year old, a 3 year old and a 3 month old, had their throats cut.
I am horrified by this massacre of a sleeping family and yet completely unsurprised by the Palestinian reaction. Supposedly Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade is taking credit and in Gaza residents were passing out candy and celebrating in the streets (as they did on 9/11), with one resident saying the joy "is a natural response to the harm settlers inflict on the Palestinian residents in the West Bank."
I utterly fail to see how anyone could possibly consider the murder of small children a necessity, much less something to celebrate. I am baffled by those who would excuse and support this butchery. And there are supporters here in the US, not just the 6th century barbarians who perpetuate this, there are people making excuses and attempting to justify this inhuman, entirely barbarous behavior on the Liberal blog sites that literally made me nauseous after reading just a few comments.
Even worse, the perpetrators of this carnage receive our money in the form of foreign aid. A government hand out for terrorism. When will we stop supporting this culture of hate?
From StandWithUs: "Last December, PA President Abbas awarded $2,000 to the family of a terrorist who tried to murder Israelis at a checkpoint. The week of the Fogel murders, the PA announced a youth football tournament named after Wafa Idris, a female suicide bomber, and Fatah, the ruling party in the West Bank, held a procession commemorating the suicide bombers from the Deheisheh community in the West Bank. Posters of them are plastered even on the walls of Deheisheh`s cultural center.
Write and call your representatives and ask them to stop funding terrorism.
This is why I think that Israel should just forcibly repatriate every single so-called "Palestinian" right back to Jordan, which is where they originally lived before Israel became a nation. If the ones in Gaza want to stay there, fine. But the border with Israel should be sealed permanently--no more letting them cross over for lucrative jobs.
ReplyDeleteThe Israelis would never do anything like this, but even when they kill a Palestinian by accident or in a military operation, the same world press that is virtually silent now screams bloody murder. Double standard, anyone?
While I agree with you, I sincerely doubt that would be enough.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned, the members of the world press has the blood of that family (and many others) on their hands as well. How has the world changed so much that it's gone from being horrified at terrorism to excusing it?
