A
family lose their teenage daughter, a family lose their father, two
Israelis are stabbed in Netanya and a rocket hits a kindergarten as
incitement and terrorism continues.
I
haven't written for a while, yet not posting or reporting about it
doesn't mean the reality has changed. The violence continues. People
were killed, people were injured, the pointless violence encouraged
by terror groups that want to harm and divide.
Two
days ago a terrorist entered the home of the Ariel family in Kiryat
Arba and murdered their 13 year old daughter Hallel. A young,
innocent girl, just starting her summer vacation. She was stabbed
viciously more than 30 times. She died of her wounds. She didn't do
anything to anybody. Just because she was a young Jewish girl. I was
shocked to hear that her murderer, who was eliminated by the guard
that he also stabbed, was celebrated as a hero in the Palestinian
society for the act of murdering a sleeping innocent 13 year old
girl.
His
mother expressed her joy and pride in his act. To add to the horror
you had to read the comments over social media. People took time to
write short columns justifying her murder, as shocking as it sounds
and also expressing their joy over her brutal death, as sickening as
it was.
Later
that day an Arab stabbed two Israelis in the market in Netanya. They
were just doing their Shabbat shopping, not harming anyone but that
didn't matter. The Arab just stabbed them and was shot dead by a
passer-by. Later his accomplice was arrested at his home in Jaffa, an
Israeli Arab who took his friend to Netanya solely for the purpose of
killing Jews.
The
brutal murder of Hallel seems to spark again the motivation for
bloodshed among them. A day later a relative of the terrorist who
murdered Hallel decided to take a knife and go to the Cave of the
Patriarchs in Hebron. It is considered a holy site for Jews and
Muslims and protected by Israeli Border Police. The terrorist tried
to stab Policemen but thankfully didn’t succeed and was eliminated.
Hours
later a squad of terrorists decided to do a drive by shooting. They
opened fire on the car of Rabbi Michael Mark. They murdered him,
severely injured his wife, and injured 2 of his teenage children, who
witnessed their father's death while almost dying themselves.
Later
that night, it was already Shabbat, a Rocket was fired from Gaza and
hit a kindergarten. This is not the first time rockets have hit
schools and kindergartens or even close by. It is a miracle that a
rocket didn't hit that kindergarten during day hours when there are
children and teachers there.
Again
we see how Palestinian terrorism, that is encouraged and promoted by
Hamas and Fatah, doesn't treat differently people who live in Judea
and Samaria and people who live in the rest of Israel. It doesn't
treat soldiers and civilians any different. It doesn't treat
differently between children and adults. They want to kill Jews
because they are Jews. No matter where they live, what their status
is or their age, they celebrate each death. They justify every
attack. It’s sickening. It's not heroic, it’s not a resistance.
This is an attempted genocide of the Jewish people.
I
will add a silver-lining before I end this post: We saw many Arabs
and Muslims on social media who condemned all those attacks,
condemned Palestinian terrorism and condemned the cynical use of
Islam or Palestinian nationalism for justifying and encouraging those
attacks. So many stood with Israel. Their voices become louder and
louder.
I
will add another detail. The past year many of the soldiers that have
been hurt in this attacks were Arab soldiers serving in the IDF. The
Hamas and Fatah terrorists want our people to turn against each
other, but we will not let them or BDS do it. The bloodshed is the
responsibility of terrorist organisations not of the Arab people or
the Muslim community.
Israel
will stand still, peace will be the answer and we will stop terror!
