Great article!

I read an account of this 1954 massacre. From what I could tell, the Israelis on the bus were unarmed.

Evidently the Israelis learned nothing from this. Or they forgot what they had learned. Because as we all know, it happened again in 2023. Unarmed Israelis - men, women, and children - were massacred. Again.

The Islamic attacks escalated under the cowardly leadership of Moshe Sharett, Israel’s second prime minister, who had put all his faith in international diplomacy and the United Nations.

After the Scorpions Pass massacre, Sharett had refused to respond, arguing that, “an act in reaction to the bloodbath would only blur the horrifying effect and would place us on the same level as the murderers on the other side.” Israeli commandos, who had little respect for Sharett, a leftist hack with no understanding of the battlefield, began to go rogue against the Jihadis.

I suppose that is why I have never heard of Sharett.

Wow! Imagine what they would have done if Islam wasn’t the religion of peace!

What this article demonstrates is that the Arabs cannot bring themselves to live in peace with Israel, whether it is the original and small Israel, or a somewhat enlarged Israel. The idea of the Jews owning as much as 10 square feet in the Middle East is too much for them to deal with. The simple fact is that you cannot deal with someone who’s only position is that you must die. The lesson to be learned is that there can be no compromise with the Arabs whatsoever. Perhaps with certain countries, such as Egypt and Jordan, who have been brought into the western orbit, and benefit greatly from relative peace with Israel, and perhaps the Saudis who see a bigger and common enemy in Iran than in Israel, but otherwise it is pretty hopeless. Israel should take whatever territory it needs to defend its population, and not make any apologies for doing so.

War is War.
Kill people, break things, and win.

War is not concerned with pausing
War is not being humanitarian
War is not respectful of civilians
War is not nation building.

Don’t go to war if you have no intention or understanding of what your victory is.

Victory is destroying the threat.
All of it.

A decade before there was any ‘Palestinian’ cause, Muslim terrorists ambushed the bus. Ephraim Fuerstenberg, the driver, was shot dead, and his wife Hannah was taken out and raped and murdered. Men had thrown themselves in their dying moments on his two children to hide them. But his 9-year-old boy, Haim, raised his head to call for his sister, the Jihadist lifted up the body on top of him and shot him in the head, he would lie in a coma for 32 years before finally passing away. His sister Miri, who wrote the story in her book, ‘The Girl From Scorpions Pass’, survived only by hiding under the man who had thrown his body on top of hers to save her life.

Someone should send this piece to that idiot Peggy Noonan,..
