My parents are arriving today for a two and a half week visit, and after recent events, I feel like locking them inside their vacation apartment the entire time.
Because it is now unsafe to stand at a bus stop or a train station, or to even pray in a synagogue.
My brother, who stood less than ten minutes away from the site of the brazen horrific massacre in Har Nof, Jerusalem, kept his children home from school yesterday.
For all who blame Israel for this 3,000 year old situation in the Middle East, think again. The Palestinians strap bombs to their children and rejoice in their holy sacrifice, PM Abbas proclaims that more Jewish blood must be spilled on the streets of Jerusalem, and Arabs around the world celebrate every time there is a terror attack anywhere in the world that takes the lives of Jews. Watch the video of them dancing on the streets after 9/11, if you don't believe me.
During the war this past summer in Gaza, Israel sent text messages, emails and flyers to innocent citizens in Gaza, warning them to leave areas that would soon come under attack. Hamas, an equal partner in the so-called legitimate Palestinian government, shot anyone who tried to leave to safety with their families, put missile launching sites in living rooms and hospitals and schools, and tunneled under Israeli soil with the intent of slaughtering Israelis while they slept.
In his heyday, Yassir Arafat had the opportunity to receive 98% of the demands of his people from the Israeli government, and he refused. Because 100% would have been Judenrein, a Palestinian State with no Jews in sight. Anyone remember the Nazis?
Golda Meir said that there will not be peace until the Arabs love their own children as much as they hate ours.
This is not a way to live, or die, for either side.
