The 49-year-old Pascal Avrahami left a wife, Sima, and three children aged 25, 20 and 18. His death brought the toll in Thursday’s terror assault up to eight.

The religious Avrahami was born in France and moved to Israel in 1977. He joined YAMAM in 1985 and was trained as a fighter and sniper. During his service he took part in numerous operations and received two citations for his bravery.

Obama has succeeded in breaking the 30 year peace.

He will have the entire ME onfire shortly after he withdraws all the troops in Iraq and declares peace has been achieved.

I can’t abide this SOB.

Tanks in gaza won’t shock me at all.

God rest his soul. I can only wish I had that kind of courage.

I saw a bumper sticker yesterday, it said “God Bless our troops, especially the snipers.”

+1 Like.

‘Tanks in gaza won’t shock me at all.’

That is exactly what he wants. Then they can scream for UN troops to ‘protect’ the poor Arabs

Obama is routing our troops overland to Kuwait as he is picking a fight with Syria.

He is moving forces in the opposite direction. He is giving Assad a green light even as he declares he must step down.

I saw a show about Ronnie Barrett the other day. He keeps things that come back with his weapons for servicing. One of the things he has on that wall is a scope cover that has something to the effect of:

“Dear God forgive me for I am about to do. They deserve it.”

written inside of it.

Obama has succeeded in breaking the 30 year peace.

That, along with the destruction of the United States as a world power is his master plan. It was the reason he was put in office.

He will have the entire ME onfire shortly after he withdraws all the troops in Iraq and declares peace has been achieved.

Again, this is his plan.

I can’t abide this SOB.

Neither can I.

Tanks in gaza won’t shock me at all.

Very little that is hapening now surprises me, My FRiend. Only if it is logical,rational, or good and decent.

What a shame plus the world has far too many Muslims and only 15 million Jews. He will be missed. Islam is a curse that is over running the world. They can do it only due to oil wealth and modern health and sanitation measures we taught them

Islam= a curse (Winston Churchill called it a curse)
