MURDER & POLITICS
I am so angry, I can barely cut and paste this. Ethan Effin' Bronner in the New York Times, day before yesterday:
RAMALLAH, West Bank — As preparations intensify for a Palestinian-Israeli summit meeting in Washington on Thursday, the crude outlines of a Palestinian state are emerging in the West Bank, with increasingly reliable security forces, a more disciplined government and a growing sense among ordinary citizens that they can count on basic services.
Personal checks, long shunned as being unredeemable, are now widely accepted. Traffic tickets are issued and paid, movie theaters are opening and public parks are packed with families late into the summer nights. Economic growth in the first quarter of this year was 11 percent over the same period in 2009, the International Monetary Fund says....Of course, the West Bank remains occupied by Israel. It is filled with scores of Israeli settlements, some 10,000 Israeli troops and numerous roadblocks and checkpoints that render true ordinary life impossible for the area’s 2.5 million Palestinians....
Given the repetition of Arab terrorist attacks on innocent Israelis that we suffered yesterday, Mr. Bronner may want to reconsider exactly who it is that renders the lives of others "impossible."
And then too, after the barbaric ambush and cold-blooded murder of four Jews by Arab terrorists, Isabel Kershner and Mark Landler "reported" in the Times, as follows:
JERUSALEM — The killing of four Israeli settlers, including a pregnant woman, in the West Bank on Tuesday evening . . . . underscored the disruptive role that the issue of Jewish settlements could play in the already fragile negotiations.
And:
.... Palestinian officials noted that the attack took place in an area of the West Bank that is under full Israeli security control, and where the Palestinian security forces have no responsibility and are not allowed to operate.The victims came from Beit Hagai, a small settlement in the hills south of Hebron, an area known for particularly militant settlers....
I can't read the rest... I simply, physically, cannot make my eyes move across any more of this page.
I've been blogging these hideous Arab terrorist murders of Jews in Israel all along the way, for more than seven years now, and still... STILL... it absolutely blows my mind that the "media" can get away with this.
Yizhak and Talya Imaes HY"D -- with their six children, now orphanned. Talya was nine months pregnant when she was murdered yesterday.
Avishai Shindler HY"D, murdered yesterday, shown in this photo with his wife, now widow.
Kochava Even Chaim HY"D, murdered yesterday, shown with her 8-year-old daughter.
May the pure souls of our brothers and sisters be tied in the knot of life.
And may the Gd of Israel avenge their blood.
