This week a maniac stabbed six people at a “Gay Pride” parade in Israel.
He had just been released from prison for a 2005 stabbing of three other people at the same parade .
In response, among the chorus of condemnations from Jews in every direction, from the man in the street to the Prime Minister of Israel, religious Zionist leader, Rabbi Chaim Druckman said:
“(He) is a lowly murderer and by his (religious) outward appearance he also adds an awful desecration of G-d’s name.”
“Our rabbis teach us that everyone who has mercy for mankind is known to be of the seed of our forefather Avraham , and everyone who does not have mercy for mankind is known not to be of Avraham’s seed. The behavior of (the maniac) is the complete opposite of Jewish behavior, and he must be treated severely likely every criminal.”
This same week, an Arab family’s home was firebombed. A child died, and others in the family were grievously injured. Although not yet captured, it appears that the attackers were also Jews.
The survivors of this attack are being treated by the best doctors in the finest medical facilities available.
Like the stabbing attack above, the condemnations are resounding and widespread.
The full power of the Israeli police and courts are in play to arrest, try, and punish those who commit such vile acts.
Rabbi Druckman is uncompromising on this abomination, as well:
“I find the need to once again say these are criminal acts that are anti-Jewish, anti-humane, and of course anti-ethical,” said Rabbi Druckman. “These acts must be condemned and denounced.”
In a call for action, he added, “the security forces must do everything to quickly find those behind these awful acts and to bring them to justice.”
“Rid evil from your midst,” he said in conclusion, quoting Deuteronomy 17:7.
Sadly, but predictably, the Arabs are mostly silent on the first case. Their preeminent institutions tend to throw gay people to their deaths off the roofs buildings, hang them from hydraulic construction cranes, or saw their heads off with dull knives.
On the second case, that of the firebombing of a family, the Arabs, true to form, blame the Israeli Government for the act of savages.
Two good editorials on the events described above, illustrative of the penchant for self-reflection and a strong sense of morality to be willfully misdirected:
