The Signs of Moral Decay
Sergio (HaDaR) Tezza, 2 Jul 2006
A groups of five Hamas terrorists, coming from the Gaza Strip, penetrated a few hundred yards inside Israeli territory through a tunnel that was dug during the last few months. During the attack, two young Israeli soldiers were killed: Lieutenant Hanan Barak, 20 years old, from Arad; and Sergeant Pavel Sladtzker, 20 years old, from Dimona. Another young soldier was kidnapped, may HaShem protect him.
All the Israeli media and the political world are boiling over and the tones are very dramatic.
The guerrilla operation is being defined as a very grave act, for which the Hamas is fully responsible. A very hard response is warranted, because it was an attack of unprecedented gravity.
I am wondering: Where were all these "honourable men" while hundreds of missiles were falling on the population of Sderot?
Since when is an attack on military forces to be judged with more gravity and deserving of a hasher response than an attack on defenseless civilians?
The lying politicians and the media talking heads are tying to confuse the issue, to justify their ideological and practical impotence, their immorality, which has allowed a continuous rain of missiles without any serious attempt to end it immediately and by all means. Their reaction shows how the perversion of moral values in Israel has reached such a level that Israeli citizens are treated as cannon fodder, as peons to be used and transferred at will, peons in an immoral political process of surrender in the face of terrorism, of concessions, appeasement and self-destruction. All this while the armed forces are considered more important and worthy of being avenged.
There must not be any distinction between a Jew in uniform and one in civilian clothes - the lives of all should be equally important.
Only a very harsh response to every attack against us - a very painful and bloody response against the other side - can decrease the other side's appetite to attack us and can save human lives.
With the so-called "peace process", the situation has become much worse for us, given that the terrorists with automatic rifles went from a few dozen before 1993 to many tens of thousands, thanks to Yitzchak Rabin's brilliant idea to give them guns. There have been more and more victims of massacres since 1994, with the first car bombs (Afula) made with military-grade, high-power explosives (SEMTEX) from Sudan, which reached us through Gaza, placed under Yasser Arafat's control by the "geniuses" Rabin, Shimon Peres, Beilin and company.
The media, of course, attribute bombs in Tel Aviv and Haifa to the "settlers", as if it were true that without our presence in the heartland of Israel there would be no terrorist attacks along the coastline. The media leaders fake forgetfulness about over one hundred years of Arab terrorism against the Jews of Israel before the first settlement was ever built in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, quite a while after the Six Day War of 1967.
The media, mostly controlled by a secularist and leftist clique, are very careful not to connect the beginning of the quasi-industrial level of massacre on the buses, streets, bars, restaurants and markets of Israel to the progression of the pacifist and surrendering ideology of appeasement. The grotesque imitators of Chamberlain and Deladier promise "peace and a new middle east," deluded to the point of "seeing Israel's future in the Arab League." (Peres, 1994) All we are getting is terrorism and the ideological, religious and armed attack by the Arabs against the right of sovereignty of the People of Israel (whose existence as a people is even denied) anywhere in the Land of Israel. That land has been re-"baptised" as "Palestine" by the haters of Israel of all kinds, following the Roman example: using for the Land of Israel the name of an extinct people whose name in Hebrew, Pelishtim, means, in fact, "invaders".
The media hides, at best, the fact that many more Jews were murdered and injured in the twelve years of the so-called "peace process" than in all of the previous forty-five years, since the creation of the State of Israel. Increasing deaths have been accompanied by territorial concessions in exchange for a few words worth no more than the paper and ink with which they were written.
The word "peace" has been emptied of all meaning, and has become a "code word" for surrender, having been used for almost twenty years to define that which in reality is nothing but the spilling of innocent blood, offered in sacrifice to the Moloch of a murderous ideology. Those who were murdered by the terrorists, lead by Yasser Arafat or Yechya Ayash (the "engineer" of the bombs of Hamas, to whom Arafat dedicated roads, squares, football teams and tournaments, all under the rigorous silence of the media in Israel and in the West), were called by the duo Rabin and Peres "sacrifices for peace." It was a cynical and disgusting example of the worst kind of "Newspeak", yesteryear's "political correctness", so masterfully illustrated by George Orwell in his book 1984.
Today, more than ever, the warning and reproach by the Prophet Ezekiel resounds profoundly true: "They say 'Peace, Peace,' and there is no peace...."
