Jerusalem — December 16, 2014 … As Jewish children light candles, celebrating the first night of Hanukkah in Israel, the world turns it’s attention to a bloody massacre in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Over 130 children aged 10 to 18 were murdered by Islamic terrorists in an attack by the Taliban (formally known as Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, or TTP) on a Pakistan military-run school.
Some seven suicide bombers charged the school with automatic weapons and explosives.
Israel and Pakistan, which do not share diplomatic relations, do communicate. Most of the communication takes places through their embassies in Turkey.
In the past they have assisted one another with INTEL on terror groups which threaten both nations. But now the time has come for both nations to normalize relations.
If not for trade, then for their children's future.
Both nations are respected for their moderate values in a very tough Middle Eastern neighborhood.
The people of both nations share much in common with an accent on agriculture, high-tech, education and love for family.
The days of Israel labeling Pakistan “an antisemitic state” and Pakistan counter-labeling Israel “a Zionist and racist state” must be replaced with the sharing of intelligence that will save lives and create bridges between the global Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities.
Islamic terror groups - ISIS, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Taliban, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda target Jews and Christians as “infidels” which they state need to be destroyed in a Jihad or Holy War. But the hatred shared by these terror groups is far greater for Muslims who embrace Western values.
Democracy, equal rights for women and free speech is not tolerated by the Taliban in Pakistan.
The Pakistan Taliban are against Western-style education for children and the employment of women. Most famously, their terrorists shot schoolgirl education activist Malala Yousafzai in the head in 2012 as she traveled on a school bus.
She survived to receive a Nobel Peace Prize last week.
As Israel quietly extends condolences and humanitarian aid to the families who have lost loved ones in Peshawar, Pakistan must realize one thing.
The blood of Jewish and Muslim children is the same.
There is no reason on this good earth that these children should not be protected with any and all security assets available.
Respect, understanding and tolerance must now transcend hate, propaganda, and mistrust.
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the assault in Peshawar and rushed to the area to show his support for the victims.
The prime minister vowed that Pakistan would not be cowed by the violence and that the military would continue with an aggressive operation to neutralize terrorism.
“The fight will continue. No one should have any doubt about it,” Sharif said.
Sharif and his government should, without delay, include democratic Israel in this fight.
Targeting children is a sure thing to create fear in adults, and the terrorists know this. Remember Beslan.
Hopefully the authorities have taken steps to deal with such an event here at home, whether the act takes place in a school building or bus.
If it can happen in a muzzie country, it can certainly happen here, where there are plenty of them, too. Remember the terrorists at the Boston Marathon.
But before that can happen, the Koran has to be rewritten or entire chapters permanently removed.
As it is written today, a good Muslim must not take up friendship with non-Muslims.
Why the West ever allowed them inside their borders is incomprehensible especially knowing their centuries of animosity toward the West.
The Koran forbids a Muslim from befriending a Jew. MadMo said Allah commanded it.
Well, at least Turkey is reporting the news. See this article:

Are you referring to the military or the ISI intelligence branch. Also do you know if the school was all Army and civilians seeking a better education for their kids or did ISI children attend too?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Hey why not they accuse everyone of it!
Meanwhile mullahs in Pakistan blame the school attacks on “Jews and crusaders trying to divide Moslems”
