The Demagogues Hit (Again)

Here is another thread of a discussion I had with a hard-to-get-it guy.

The conversation commenced with the following piece about a horrible terror attack in a Jewish settlement.

The world must see this

by Eli Rubenstein, JULY 22, 2017

The picture below is the scene of Friday night’s terror attack in Neve

Tzuf, a small Israeli town in the Judean Hills. What started as a

family Shabbat dinner left a father, son, and daughter dead and a

mother in critical condition after a teenage Palestinian terrorist

entered the home and began stabbing the family members while children

hid in a closet. Were it not for the miracle of an IDF soldier nearby

who neutralized the terrorist, the incident would have been much more

horrific than it already is.

The world must see this picture; a picture which, in another reality

at the same time and place could have shown a family enjoying their

Shabbat dinner. Instead, you see blood from terror victims covering

the kitchen floor.

The world must see how this terrorist will be venerated in Palestinian

society. When word broke of the attack in Gaza, celebrations took

place in the street. Soon, his family will start receiving payments

from the Palestinian Authority, which in 2016 payed $170 million to

terrorists and their families. Maybe, years from now, he will have a

square named after him, like Khaled Nazzal, who killed 26 Israelis

after taking schoolchildren and their teachers hostage in the Ma’alot

Massacre, or Dalal Mughrabi, who killed 38 civilians after hijacking

two buses and throwing grenades at cars passing by.

The world must realize how the terrorist, a young person who at one

point must have had hopes and dreams like everyone else, could lead

himself to murder an Israeli family in cold blood. The reason he did

this is not because of “occupation” or metal detectors at the Temple

Mount. The reason this attack occurred is because the Palestinian

leadership injects hatred into its citizens from the day they are

born. It is because the Palestinian leadership knows that such a

corrupt regime as itself can only survive by placing blame for their

problems on the Jews and perpetuating a cycle of violence. Palestinian

children learn in textbooks that they must grow up to be martyrs in

order to create a Palestinian state free of Jews. When they go home,

they watch shows like Pioneers of Tomorrow, where the hosts like

Nahoul the Bee and Assud the Rabbit die because of Israel. In Assud’s

debut show, his brother Nahoul died because he was sick and was unable

to get medical treatment. Assud and the child host pledge to “liberate

al-Aqsa from the filth of those Zionists,” while Assud tells a young

caller that he will eat Jews. In a later episode, Assud dies from an

Israeli airstrike, but not before being sentenced by viewers to have

his hand cut off for stealing.

The world must understand that Palestinian leaders have fostered a

culture of death. They have brainwashed their people to believe that

the source of their problems is the Jews, rather than their own failed

leadership. Instead of building a country, they have kept their people

living in a state of perpetual victimhood, encouraging their youth to

launch rockets and martyr themselves instead of building

infrastructure and creating jobs for their people.

The world must realize that they too are responsible for this. The

Arab countries have kept Palestinians in refugee camps and denied them

equal rights, while the United Nations has done nothing but perpetuate

this problem my making them the only group of refugees in the world

that passes down their refugee status to the next generation. This

helps them continue promoting the issue of a ‘Right of Return’ and

provides fuel to the anti-Israel cause. The Western World has largely

turned a blind eye to Palestinian extremism, instead preferring to

chastise Israel for building homes and demand Israel allow the

creation of a terror state within its borders.

The world must see this picture, the blood of a dead family covering

the floor of their kitchen, because it speaks volumes about the

current situation. It is time to stop pretending that Israel has a

partner for peace, because it does not. While this was done under the

guise of protesting metal detectors at the Temple Mount, it is much

more than that – it is the culmination of years of incitement by

Palestinian leaders and years of the world turning a blind eye.

The world must see this, because the world must see the truth.

Neve Tsuf is a settlement in the occupied territories. The Israeli occupation is the MOST violent action in the conflict. So it's not just an innocent "Shabbat Dinner" (still, the killing is horrible indeed).

What the world must see is the terrible conditions of the people living in Gaza and elsewhere under the Israeli oppression.
