Israeli government capitulates; pardons terrorists

What a pathetic spectacle it is to see the Jews of Israel cowering as if they're still a persecuted minority living in an Arab country. The exile is alive and stronger than ever in the Liberal State of Self-loathing Hebrews.

(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah boasted about the prisoner swap recently approved by Israel, in a report from the AP. The terrorist group who kidnapped and killed several IDF soldiers announced Tuesday that Israel's approval of the swap deal is an official admission of defeat by the Jewish state.

Under the terms of the deal, Israel has agreed to release 15 live terrorists, including arch-murderer Samir Kuntar, as well as the bodies of hundreds of Hizbullah fighters, in exchange for the dead bodies of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, captured by Hizbullah in 2006. Kuntar, one of several terrorists with blood on their hands that Israel will release, has promised to resume his campaign of terror against Israel the moment he is free.

While all of us who think with our heads, not with our rectums, can see how overtly stupid it is to respond to terrorist kidnappings and murder by pardoning unrepentent terrorist vermin and releasing them so they can kill Jews again, the "enlightened" remain staunchly clueless and cowardly.

Said Kahane: And the public grows numb. It has come to accept as natural, life with terrorist bombs. That which, years ago, led Jews to angrily attack Arabs and demand action, now leaves them apathetic and fatalistic in their acceptance. It is the inflation of terror. The more attacks, the greater the acceptance of them as a way of life. The more the dead, the less we seem to be able to look upon them as individuals who lived and left behind families. Their very repetition makes the bombings lose their "newness" and the radio and television reports no longer are "exciting" or "fresh."

But it cannot continue. We cannot allow the situation to continue. Every victim is abeloved one who leaves behind loved ones and sorrow and tragedy. Every victim isa fellow Jew. Every death and outrage is a Hillul Hashem, a desecration of the name of the L-rd, G-d of Israel. Our apathy, our acceptance of the situation, onlyguarantees further and worse inflation of terror. It guarantees further deaths, cripples, and agony and anguish. It cannot continue, and it must as long as Arabs are allowed to live and wander freely in the Land. The solution is ultimately only one: The removal of the hostile and dangerous Arab minority from the Land of Israel...

There will surely be those who will speak of this as "immoral." To these products of gentilized culture, one can only recommend the words of the rabbis: "He who is merciful at a time when he should be cruel, is destined to be cruel at a time when he should be merciful" (Kohelet Raba, 7:16).And "When one comes to slay you slay him first" (Sanhedrin 72a).

This is Judaism; this is the religion that destroys the merciless before they ravage the innocent.

Indeed...
