ISRAEL CRAZY GROWS. TEEN LYNCHED

An Israeli soldier is dead. He was lynched. Further, the soldier was a teen-ager. So much for sanity in Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza pullout.

This is all uncalled for. Yet it is happening in the Holy Land.

It's predictable. Those Jews who live in Gaza area should have been left in peace to enjoy their front yards and back yards, their living rooms and dining rooms. They knew their neighbors. They went to their shops and purchased housegoods. They were used to their own closeness to one another. They entertained one another for birthdays and anniversaries.

Then Sharon and cabinet came along to do away with their front and back yards, their living and dining rooms, their shops and neighborhood parks. Why? To allow more room for more Jews' homes? No. To open up the Gaza for the enemy Muslims to take over.

And with the Bush administration giving support to this abuse, the Israeli soldiers have been trained how to kill fellow Jews if the latter refuse to leave their houses.

This is one of the most horrific scenes taking place on the globe. Yet I don't know of many freedom-based national leaders protesting. I don't hear anyone from the World Council of Churches speaking out against this injustice against religious believers known as "Jews." Yet in other situations Christians and Jews have stood alongside one another to fight injustices.

The objectivity is overwhelming.

Cry me a river. A terrorist (and army deserter) got stomped. What's the problem?

Saying this terrorist got "lynched" is like saying the people on Flight 93 "lynched" the hijackers.

Lynch- to put to death, esp. by hanging, by mob action and without legal authority.

That's exactly what happened to this guy. Except that hanging would have been less savage. But those you always champion are not known for choosing the road less savage.

He committed a terrorist act. He was ganged up on and rendered harmless. Then- instead of being turned over to legitimate competent and trustworthy legal authorities - he was murdered on the spot by a mob.

To anyone not familiar with your anti Israeli, long time Arab terrorism supporting, posts, they now have an introduction. Defend the lynch of a Jew by bloodthirsty Arabs even at the cost of defaming courageous Americans who gave up their lives to fight back and defend Washington DC.

The initial stories said that he had been killed when the mob stormed the bus, attacking him as he stopped to reload. That would have been comparable to Flight 93. Had passengers on that flight killed the terrorists in the course of the struggle, I don't think anyone would have really blamed them.

If, as the Channel 10 video suggests, the mob took him away from the police after he had been disarmed, that's another matter that should be investigated fully.

Israel is remiss in not having a death penalty for terrorist attacks, and certainly this AWOL soldier who turned his weapon on the people he was sworn to defend should have faced a firing squad. But it should not be practiced on an unarmed man by a mob. Period.
