A Mass Grave NO MORE by Ari Bussel
Like an ancient song, the melody has not changed: a group of Palestinians, armed and trained by the USA with Israeli consent, target a single driver in Judea and Samaria. He was just 45 when his life was taken. His only fault: being Jewish. He dies, leaving a wife and seven children behind. A senseless act of murdering another human being is “heroism” to a barbarian.
We, the Jewish People, cannot comprehend this murder. Everything we believe points to holding the sanctity of life above all else. Our enemies, animals of the worse type, know nothing of goodness and virtue. Thus, like animals they must be treated. We bury the dead, mourn and try to resume our lives. They view their evil and our strange response as permission to act again, attack once more.
Our enemies understand the rules of the game—their rules. They instigate, murder for their convoluted ideals and a merciful god and expect the upper hand. Retaliation or a response are neither warranted nor permitted. After all, it is their “right” as “Freedom Fighters” to kill at their will. If Israel responds, an immediate chain reaction will ensue. Their deterrence works. We lament and go on with our lives. Like a leaf in the wind, we fly, dead and useless.
Our enemies only understand strength, and this they must taste every so often. The IDF and the Israeli Security Services (Shin Beit) were able to immediately locate the terrorists. Normally, they would be brought to Israel for interrogation and then off to summer camp. Not this time.
Life in prison without any restrictions is a marvelous thing. One sleeps, trains at the gym, watches TV, communicates with one’s cohorts via the Internet or cell phone, eats, studies and waits for the next round of releases. In the meantime the person hosted by Israel receives visitors, conducts interviews and from time to time enjoys sex. “Multiple life sentences?” the greater the number, the greater the respect yielded and the higher the monetary rewards from Iran and various Arab countries and organizations to one’s family.
One of those terrorists had been previously released under the condition he would refrain from engaging in terror. The word “Terror,” apparently, was ill defined. Thus, he has done once again what he did before, knowing well there will be no punishment for his crimes. What is the worst that could happen – another few months in an Israeli jail? With pleasure, visitation rights are permitted, after all.
When the IDF soldiers approached, the Muslim terrorist used his wife as a live shield. This is definitely permissible, for in Islam the wife’s position is that of servitude to the man. Normally, he would not have hesitated for a moment to use any child who might have been around, but it was late in the evening, the children were asleep.
Children make the best sort of shields – they protect and provide for wonderful TV coverage if shot or hurt in defense of the defenseless (yet armed to the teeth) Freedom Fighters. Grab a child as you go, wave him in front of you for an added fanfare. It never fails to accomplish your ends.
When using children as shields or active participants, casualties-in-action are unlikely, for the stupid Israelis stop; they actually care. We will erect a mourner’s tent—just imagine the rewards on this earth and beyond, the honor bestowed on the parents, the virgins awaiting the child (oh, never mind, the virgins will be reserved for the next homicide bomber of an older age; however, if it is a girl, she may be ripe already as a fruit offering to those ascending to this afterlife).
The world is messed to the point where children are trained to serve a cause, women participate willingly and the men no longer resemble anything human. We do not speak different languages any more; we represent the clash of good and evil, day and night, light and darkness, life and death. The murderer claims he is just and the victim is silent.
To our utter astonishment, the IDF did what a defense force should do. The higher-ranking officers did not go on national or international interview cycle. They did not talk; they acted. To quote Israel National News: “In swift action by the Shin Bet and the IDF the three murderers responsible for the attack were eliminated.” Refreshing and unique behavior and what the military is all about.
Intelligence was insufficient to prevent this evil deed (“Kill a Jew driving down the highway”) but amazingly successful at pinpointing those involved. The operations side then took over, except this time did not bring the perpetrators for a brief rest in Israel. “Purge the evil from within your midst, and those remaining will hear and fear and will not continue doing the same evil thing in your midst. Your eye shall not pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” Deuteronomy 19: 19-21
The murderers become the new “martyrs,” and Israel was immediately promised to suffer as a result, but the message was clear and understood. For every action there is reaction. You murder, you pay with your life. No bargains, no discounts, no discussions, no give and give-some-more. The time for retribution has come.
The IDF might actually be a step ahead – finally! The other lesson that needs to be embraced is that the best defense is often offense. If one plans to murder, for the sheer madness and pleasure of the act (the more family members that can be butchered at the same time, the greater the satisfaction), he should not remain alive to execute. Was there not a sentence in this regard in the Jewish Bible? But Jews, pigs and apes, have long forgotten their own Holy Book.
If one’s fantasy is to smash a four-year old skull against a rock or murder a wife, or a father before a child’s eyes, it may be the last convoluted sick picture that person sees. If, like Barguti, now on vacation in an Israeli prison, a person sends someone else to explode as a martyr, then goes to his four year old daughter’s music lesson, he will no longer be rewarded with a stay in Israel’s prisons.
Punishment will be swift and unequivocal and even those who do not understand the language or Western values will begin to comprehend the new IDF – our lives are at least as worthy as yours. Treat us with respect, and you will be treated the same. Try to kill us, and you will pay the price, and better an hour earlier.
One other reminder to the IDF and to Israel: Those terrorists are armed to the teeth and beyond by arms the USA, the EU and others have supplied, all with Israeli consent. Time to round up the weapons, confiscate them and declare to the users – be caught with a weapon, near or hiding one, and the punishment will be severe, so severe in fact that the perpetrator will not get the opportunity to exercise the same stupidity again. There will be no questions asked, no second, third or fourth chances extended. Act stupidly; pay accordingly, pay heavily, pay and be an example for all to fear.
Then again, “stupid,” is a function of definitions. Israel thus far has allowed the flow of armaments, without which peace and order could not prevail in the Palestinian authorities. The result: peace and order have not been achieved, but we armed the enemy who now uses the weaponry and know-how against Israel.
How can anyone be blamed when the message was clear, it was allowed. Now that the rules of the game are changing, there will be an adjustment period. Normally, the shorter the time frame the greater the shock, the swifter the change. No firearms of any type should mean just that. It is not a child’s game, in English or in Arabic. The penalty for continuing to play with other people’s lives is one’s own life.
It has come down to us or them, life or death, a future or an unnamed mass grave. Israel should not consent to walk like a lamb to slaughter. The last mass graves were those in Europe filled with our people. We swore to future generations and the ghosts of the past, “Never Again,” and we must always remember that promise. Apparently someone at the IDF finally has!
### In the series “Postcards from Israel,” Ari Bussel and Norma Zager invite readers throughout the world to join them as they present reports from Israel as seen by two sets of eyes: Bussel’s on the ground, Zager’s counter-point from home. Israel and the United States are inter-related - the two countries we hold dearest to our hearts - and so is this “point - counter-point” presentation that has, since 2008, become part of our lives.

(I've always wondered why Israel bothers to get the OK from Washington for any of their actions. After all, they are their own sovereign nation. They must do what's best for them. Our rules and mores should not apply.)
It seems to me they are brainwashed before they investigate the pedoprophet's life.
Once they are hooked, the thoughts of a carnal heaven are irresistible!

When Gaza is full, tell Egypt they either accept the Gazans as full citizens, or Israel takes out the Aswan dam.
Sorry for the hiccup!
wow...
“We, the Jewish People, cannot comprehend this murder. “
FALSE. Stupid Jews can’t comprehend. Those of us who are intelligent comprehend this easily.
“Everything we believe points to holding the sanctity of life above all else.”
FALSE. Biblical law is superseded by the duty to save lives, except for the three cardinal sins of adultery, idolatry, and murder.
“Our enemies, animals of the worse type, know nothing of goodness and virtue.”
FALSE. No animal kills another of it’s own kind for sport.
“Thus, like animals they must be treated.”
FALSE. Jews are commended to treat animals well. They have done this with the terrorists and those who support them. That must change.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Taking out the Aswan would be an IMPROVEMENT.
