Day of infamy -Naomi Ragen
Our soldiers, kidnapped on our own land, are brought back to us in caskets after two years of sadistic playfulness with the hearts of their families. And in exchange for dead bodies, we turn over a despicable baby-killer, Samir Kuntar.
[Y]ou will hear the boosters of the Israeli government sigh. What can we do? We are civilized and they are not. We care about our soldiers and their families. No, I’m afraid you do not.
If you cared, then you would have a death penalty for people like Kuntar, so that they too can be released in caskets. And if you cared, you would be intelligent enough, seeing our soldiers brought back to us dead, to have put a bullet through Kuntar and then turned him over to his friends.
Civilized is a euphemism for weak and helpless. [T]he moral thing to do to a tried and convicted murderer like Kuntar is to spill his blood, because he has spilled the blood of others. That may not fit in with current civilized niceties, but let no one say it is immoral.
I am deeply ashamed to be an Israeli today. To lead the world in ever more despicable acts of appeasement is nothing to be proud of.
If we cared about our soldiers, [w]e would be passing laws with a mandatory death penalty for convicted terrorists with blood on their hands. We would be making these laws retroactive.
[W]e would begin daily bombings of Gaza, with the same number and frequency of attacks that our own city Sderot has suffered over the past three years from the Gazans. Not civilized? Perhaps. But moral. Extremely moral.
My fantasy is that Israelis will rise up and overturn the political system which has left them with the dregs of their nation as leaders - a bunch of self-serving crooks and sycophants who will do anything to stay in office...
May G-d redeem us from them.
