In Israel, there is rarely (if at all), a family that hasn't been affected by terrorism, or lost a loved one in war. The same applies to most Jewish families in the world. These same families may have also had family murdered in the Holocaust, or had family members violently and suddenly thrown out of Arab countries with only the clothes on their backs-lucky to be alive, making their way to Israel or other "safe" havens.
In fact, that is the strategy-to try to create so much pain and so much bereavement that the Jewish people fall apart. The aim is for Jews to get the point of complete surrender-falling to the ground saying 'take what you want, we can't do this anymore'.
That is the wish, but it will not happen.
Here is a post, with photos and video that I read earlier today on PJs Media. It's an essay from a trip to Israel currently being made by the Young Jewish Conservatives organization.
Here's where we're headed, according to Krauthammer: The Islamist Ascendancy.
More thoughts about some of the the lies.
Some thoughts about the phennomenon that cannot be named.
Mark Steyn notices how things are evolving in the Arab world, the youth movement-moving into a totalitarian direction with the women covered.
Yes, Jews are killed in Hebron, and all over the world because they dare live and breathe.
Because they exist and because they thrive, and because they refuse to die, they are sentenced to death.
You may not know these Jews personally, but then again-maybe you do.
You may not be related to them, but maybe you know someone who is.
Maybe you do know a family, even indirectly, that has been touched by terrorism and lives in the "shchol"-the darkness and fog of bereavement.
Maybe you've read something written by someone who knows it, or whose family does.
What are the chances?
Maybe that's the point-to make every Jewish family, and everyone in their extended circles know this pain.
The crime: Existing as a Jew.
The punishment: Death, with no possibility of appeal.
What are the chances?
Perhaps greater than you might think.
