An Israeli father of seven was shot dead in an apparent terror attack in the West Bank on Thursday afternoon, while driving along Route 57, between the northern West Bank settlements of Shavei Shomron and Einav.

Rabbi Meir Chai, 40, lived in Shavei Shomron for the last 14 years, and teaches at the Talmud Torah School. His seven children range from two months-old to 18 year-old.

Magen David Adom paramedics attempted to save Chai, but were forced to pronounce his death at the scene of the shooting.

And meanwhile, the US continues to tumble into complete socialism and worldwide irrelevance. Even our President had to be prompted to actually give the troops around the word a Christmas message - right after he got done gloating before the microphone about his further crushing of the US Constitution.

But to bring this back around, I wish Israel would just finish up the unfinished business they started under God’s command a few thousand years ago - Remember, God told them to clear out the land - sparing NONE. But they didn’t, and we see thousands of years of troubles because of their lack of obedience.

Today, on a per-capita basis, Israel far leads the world in research and technological creativity. A 2008 survey of the world’s venture capitalists showed that in six key fields—telecom, microchips, software, biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, and clean energy—Israel ranked second only to the United States in technological innovation. Israel’s creativity now pervades many of the most powerful or popular new technologies, from personal computers to iPods, from the Internet to the medical center, from anti-missile defenses to the ascendant realms of “cloud” computing.

By contrast, less than 1% of the world’s scientists come from the Muslim world.

The Palestinians are backwards tribalists, religious fascists, and barbarians who behave as though they were less evolved than animals. Harry S. Truman had words of wisdom that would apply very well to them: “When you are dealing with a beast, you have to treat him like a beast. It is most regrettable but nevertheless true.”

Followed quickly by whines from the Rabid Left complaining about the concrete barriers to stop sniper fire from Arab Villages.

You know, some day they will have to clean out the wasp nests, instead of trying window screens to protect the children.

It is one thing to protect Arab Land rights, but quite another to let them get away with murder.
