Ynet News - Erez Levanon, a resident of the Bat Ayin settlement, was murdered Sunday in a valley near the Palestinian village of Beit Omar in the West Bank, north of Hebron. Security officials believe that the murder was terror-related.

Levanon, a 42 year-old father of three was stabbed to death not far from his vehicle. Army forces have launched searches in the area in a bid to locate the perpetrators.

Palestinians reported finding the body, between Bat Ayin and Beir Omar, to the Palestinian security authorities. Security searches after suspects focused on Beit Omar and Hirbat Sapa near the wadi.

Levanon kept a routine schedule of Torah studies, and spent one hour each day at a secluded location communing with God. His friend, Rabbi Michi Yossefi, said that Levanon was apparently murdered while praying at his usual spot.

"Erez was an exemplary family man, who managed to reach a wonderful balance between his work and his home… he wasn't someone who stood out but a very modest man," Yossefi described.

There are times when we all must take a step back and ask ourselves if we are satisfied with an Israel that gives open-ended liberal freedoms to arabs who desire nothing more than to exterminate the Jews and wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

Is it morally good enough to be able to tell the UN, EU and US that, despite the rabid moslem terror which steadily and progressively jeopardizes the survival of the Jewish State, Israel will, nonetheless, continue to give "land concessions" and "good will gestures" to the very criminals who are slaughtering Jewish civilians? Is the politically correct pursuit of "peaceful co-existence" the only mission and purpose for the Jewish State?

If so, I want no part of it.

Seriously, does the State of Israel have a plausible reason to continue to exist if it is only for the purpose of pleasing the "international community", which, by and large, is at best ambivalent, if not downright opposed, to the Jews having their own state at the expense of the arabs to begin with? It's as if us Jews are still the holocaust era clowns dancing for the amusement of our western tormentors before they have us summarily executed.

Have we no shame? Will we never learn from our past catastrophes that we cannot depend opon the gentile elites we're so desperately trying to please with these degrading Bojangles routines? Where is our pride? Where is our will to stand up for ourselves, to be independent, to no longer be the foolish little Jews trying to win a spot in the "popular click" by getting beat up and tormented by the moslem bullies as the westernized emperors look on with sadistic grins?

We are the Children of Israel, are we not? Enough with being the wilful, naiive victims! We must put an end to our masochistic madness, repeatedly playing the role of laughingstock sidekicks who don't have the guts or conviction to stand up and proudly fight for who we are.

I am ashamed and embarrassed by the Hellenized minstrel show that I see before me. We are a pathetic nation of cowards and puppets, who largely don't even want to admit to being Jewish out of fear of not be accepted by the coveted "high society" gentiles and secularists. When does the make-up come off, oh Israel? When do you stop living just to please the gentile aristocrats who care nothing about you or your people, and never will!

We are being killed everyday by moslems IN Israel, yet we are unwilling to act to stop them lest we spoil the dinner theater champagne and caviar of the deep pockets we are performing for. The time to stop this charade is NOW. We have been used as sport for the secular nobility long enough, brethren!

Rise up! Stop appeasing! Stop the cowardly, lapdog persona while there is still time!

We must shed our addiction for secular, gentile approval and resume the yoke of God's Torah if we ever hope to end this tragic, vicious cycle of weakness and shame. May that time come soon, now, and in our days!!
