Yassin's ticket to heaven
Jewsweek ^ | March 29, 2004 | Irwin N. Graulich

Posted on 04/03/2004 5:44:08 PM PST by SJackson

A religious person who is involved in mass murder must be stopped by any means, because he is harming an entire religion and its adherents.


YOUR CUP RUNNETH OVER: Yassin and Arafat at a January 1998 dinner.

It was another holy act carried out by the IDF. With the same Judeo-Christian values, morality and dedication as the American military in Iraq and Afghanistan, Israeli helicopters hit pay dirt by ridding the world of an evil leader, that seeker of martyrdom, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Mazel Tov!

From the radical Islamic perspective, he was given a "wonderful" one way pass to paradise with 72 virgins, where the Sheikh will join the thousands of young men and women he already sent there. If Sheikh Yassin is now in "Sheikh Heaven," why isn't Hamas thanking Prime Minister Sharon for his very generous efforts?

According to a leading Israeli cabinet official, "The hunting season has begun" (for targeting the "animals" of Hamas and Islamic Jihad). The United States has proven conclusively that strong measures must be taken against terrorist leaders, inspirers and their associates. This is not a criminal problem and must be dealt with in a completely different manner.

When any nation attempts to fight terrorism with Geneva Convention principles and rules of war or law, it becomes a big bad joke. If someone fights dirty, you cannot simply say it does not matter and you will fight clean. In fact, it was the peace process itself that encouraged Yassin to found the Hamas movement, when he became both its spiritual and directional leader. These two inextricably connected tasks, along with the fact that he was an amputee in a wheelchair, made the Sheikh the ultimate in "Terrorist Chic."

The fact that Sheikh Yassin was a religious man and returning from prayer has given many people, especially Europeans, an excuse for sympathy. All of a sudden, Europeans and leftists have become lovers of the religious. So what gives Israel the right to target "a religious leader?" Believe it or not, it is an integral part of The Ten Commandments.

Just check the Bible and it is clear as a bell in the Third Commandment. If it is not apparent, your translation is incorrect. If one looks at an English version, it most likely says, "Do not take God's name in vain." Most people think this means we should not add the words, "Oh God," to "(Oh God), I forgot to pick up the dry cleaning!"

This commandment has absolutely nothing to do with "saying" God's name in vain. Just go to the original Hebrew and we can easily see the commandment says, "Lo Tisah Ess Shaim Adoshem L'shav." The key word is "Tisah" which does not mean "to take" or "to say." It means very clearly, "Do not CARRY God's name in vain." Who carries God's name in vain? Religious people who act despicably like Sheikh Yassin, the Ayatollahs in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc., the Imams in mosques who spew hatred and inspire suicide bombings, the rabbi who was involved in the murder of his wife in New Jersey and priests who molested choir boys.

Those are the people who CARRY God's name around with them, because they are supposed to be God's direct representatives and even wear His religious garb in public. They are an embarrassment to God and to fellow religious people. Amazingly, this commandment is the only one that adds the punishment that "God will not forgive anyone for this sin." A religious person who is involved in mass murder must be stopped by any means, because he is harming an entire religion and its adherents.

And killing an evil person like Yassin is not murder, as specified in the sixth commandment. It is indeed a great good for all of humanity. So extra Godly points to the IDF soldiers who were in that Apache helicopter and pushed the button on the computer. The lessons for destroying Yassin, bin Laden and other terrorist leaders are great. It is actually healthy to show children that there is good and evil in the world, and that the good guys like Israel and America, will rid the world of that evil, just like "the good guys" in the movies. It gives children a sense of security.

In order to preserve decency and democracy, it takes destroying the Yassins of the world and facing the immoral European Union criticism. France, Germany, new Spain and some Scandinavian countries have learned all the wrong lessons from their WWII adventures. Unfortunately, these nations now believe that all killing is wrong, instead of learning the valuable lesson that "killing evil like Hitler or Yassin is a great moral good."

I'm afraid he's very correct about that.

Claiming to belong to the Lord when you don't belong to the Lord is what it's all about.

What is interesting is that no nation is obligated to fight according to the Geneva Conventions when the enemy rejects or routinely does not follow the Geneva Conventions. For example, the Geneva Conventions prohibit targeting religious shrines, buildings of worship, places, etc., but contains an exemption if those places are used to wage war or to support waging war. In short, Israel -- or the United States -- would be justified in blowing away any so-called religious structure being used to assemble bombs -- which is almost every so-called religious structure in Fallujah.

Not all killing - all killing done with moral purpose. Killing (unborn) innocents for convenience is fine by them.

More generally, they believe that all Moral acts done in obediance to any Higher Moral Authority are bad. The stronger the Moral justification, the more wrong the act.

Sodomizing around-the-world Clinton always carried a big book with large print announcing "Bible" when he with Hillary left state right, aka their church - always the print faced the cameras.

Atleast Yassin ordered murder for his greater goal. Clinton killed for his own headlines to divert proper investigation into his own crimes in office.

Being damned is a tricky business for those who think that good v evil is nuanced.

Now that Israel is again willing to fight for itself, I think we own them our financial support. Please, donate $ at a Temple for those innocents killed or maimed in the name of the "religion of peace", because victims' families are devestated and Israel is facing lifetime medical costs of perhaps $1 million per maimed individual. Injured:dead ratio is nearly 10:1.

The multiplier effect of $30 is about a $100, more if you account for Israel's damaged economy and their lowed standard of living because of reduced incomes compared to Americans - so far.

As only an American Goy, I now buy new IMI for good measure.

The IDF will not likely to have surplus for the resale market.

Total war crimes are upon us and our children.

More to the point, the commandment explains why Moses, the greatest of Jewish prophets and the man who helped lead the Jewish people out of the land of Egypt, was denied entry by G-d into the Promised Land precisely because he failed to measure up as a leader. Being a leader imposes an obligation to be a role model to others and falling short is not acceptable. One isn't given a privilege to assume such a lofty mantle for one's own benefit but to help and guide others to all they are capable of as human beings. Now we can understand why G-d imposed such a harsh punishment on Moses for his seemingly trivial offenses of striking a rock at Meribah and forgetting to bless G-d in the process since more was expected of him and it was a sin to fail to carry G-d's Name as well as he should have done. Incidentally, that is why it is the only passage in the Bible for which G-d does not forgive a sin, for human beings have a mind that is all too capable of finding rationalizations and excuses for evil, even desecrating the Name Of G-d to do it. And that is a deed that will not be forgiven in either this world or in the World To Come.
