I was disgusted by reports of these most heinous murders, and I’d like to express my condolences to the remaining family and to the Israeli community, as well as my condemnation of those responsible for it. I hope they’re swiftly brought to public justice.
A three state solution is not a possibility because of Jordan and Egypt’s positions on it; a two state solution you seem to be saying is unworkable (?), unless only Gaza (?); won’t a one state solution embody more non-Jews into a Jewish state?
I can’t see even the limited tolerance of Israel in the world continuing if measures have to be taken to further reduce full citizenship for Arab Christians and Mohammadans (and Druze?). If also the Jewish community of America is no longer consulted and involved, what would be their response when Israel is threatened by a Brotherhood Egypt, Syria, Iran, or - if it ever comes to it, a Caliphate? Will more Jews then emigrate there to make a stand, maybe fight to the death, win or lose?
Ari, justice is not always pretty and vengeance is not always sweet, but Israel must learn that BOTH are necessary and the time is now.
Israel will not impose the death penalty even though its own Scriptures mandates it. Murder is the ONE thing there can be no forgiveness for. Killing, however, is often justified.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
