As you probably know, sirens went off in different parts of Israel
just about 4 hours ago - to announce more rockets from Gaza. We have
rec'd them by the dozens.
The Muslims want to kill - with impunity - and the free world is witness to their killing their own as well as others.
On June 12, when the 3 Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and
murdered Hamas insisted that Abbas not help in finding their two
terrorists who were missing and identified. The mother of one of the
men said that although she did not believe her son was involved, if he
had, she would be proud of him. Abbas said very little but that was to
be expected as
he was too busy distributing sweets and celebrating with his henchmen anyway.
The parents of Gilad, Eyal, and Naftali (who has American
citizenship, too) inspired everyone with their hope and faith that the
boys would be found safe and returned to their families and the larger
Israeli family. There was a request that prayers be said and good deeds
be done in the name of the boys. In addition, the parents asked that
people not lose faith should the results not be what was hoped for.
This was their message even as they spoke so emotionally at
the dignified burials which took place together in Modi'in , in the
presence of more than 50,000 people. They asked that everyone keep the
boys in their prayers and do acts of kindness in their memories.
It must be noted that when the Israeli teenagers were missing and
there was so much news about this and the voices of the parents, there
was not one word from the President of the U.S. Sec'y of State Kerry
did condemn it but not the President. Only when the bodies were found
did Obama find his voice - and warned Israel to 'show restraint'.
When the Arab boy was murdered - so hideously - the Arabs reacted
with their usual violence - rock-throwing, burning tires, threats of
destroying Israel and days of rioting in Jerusalem.
.
It has been difficult for Israelis to cope with the news that Jews
perpetrated the crime against the Arab boy - as 'retaliation' for what
had been done to the 3 Israeli teenagers.
The manner in which the murder was carried out is a Muslim custom of punishment for homosexuality ( just google the subject).
it is inconceivable to us that Jews could do something like this;
we are in shock.Some who were sympathetic to the Israeli tragedy have
moralized about 'equivalence' and condemned Israeli society as a whole.
This is simply untrue.
Israel immediately found the guilty ones and they will be put on
trial and punished as one does in a civilized country. The other side
has launched rockets on Israel - even during the funerals of the Israeli
boys. That is the difference between the two societies - how one
behaves following such atrocities determines what we are.
At this time, there is a great deal of tension in the region.
Chana
in beloved Jerusalem
