30-Jul-14: The ordinariness of utter evil

An ordinary young woman, a mother, from Gaza:


Is she the problem? Is she a monster? No and no - or perhaps. As unremarkable as she is in almost all respects, this young woman is a symptom of something so astonishingly malevolent that it defies belief. 

How do you co-exist with a society that sends you its children for world-class medical attention (or education or anything valuable that their society can never produce) and wants to destroy you, down to the last of you?

How do you compromise with them? How do you reach an understanding?

How do you live beside them?

  1. Ah we are now at a time when the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing
    Know this for sure that the G-D of Israel will count it against them as sin
    Our assurance in not in man, nor in the nations of this world, but in G-D who alone is master over all wars
    We have no desire to any more talks of a peace treaty nor any sympathy to hamas and there evil cause
    We do not seek world approval or Obama’s and Kerry’s applause
    Not when they suggest we weaken and negotiate G-D’S Laws

    We say The Shema with confidence twice a day
    Know this for a certainty we don’t care what the world has to say
    For it is to the Shield of Abraham that we worship and we pray
    And it is G-D and G-D alone who directs our footsteps every day

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
