The Murder Process
Yesterday, Seraphic Secret wrote about the Muslim desecration of Har Hazeitim, the Jewish cemetery on the Mt. of Olives.
We concluded:
When Arab Muslims trod on the graves of our dead, you can be certain that they have no regard for living Jews. The fiction of a peace process is a dangerous illusion. You cannot make peace with a culture that marinates in such barbarism.
Here are the slain:
Yitzchak, 47, and Talia, 45, Imas, who leave behind six orphans aged 2 to 24 . Talia was nine months pregnant when she was murdered by the Islamist terrorists.
Kokhava Even-Chaim, 37, a teacher in Efrat—where Karen and I have friends and family—is survived by her husband Maimon, a Zaka volunteer who discovered that his wife was one of the victims when he arrived on the scene. Kokhava leaves behind an eight year-old daughter.
These victims were traveling in a car near Kiryat Arba. When they halted at an intersection, Palestinian terrorists, lying in ambush, opened fire with automatic weapons. They dragged the wounded Jews from the car and riddled their bodies with hundreds of rounds. It was a brutal massacre, a Palestinian specialty.
H'YD, May HaShem avenge their blood.
Hamas and the Palestinian media referred to the murdered Jews as “settlers” and “rapists.”
Elder of Ziyon reports that The New York Times echoes this sentiment by labeling the victims settlers. In short, demonizing and blaming the victims.
Soccer Dad also takes the NYT times to task.
The dead were Jews.
Period.
That's why they were murdered.
And according to the Hamas covenant all Israelis are settlers because the entire state of Israel is considered occupied territory and part of a future Islamic caliphate.
Killing so-called settlers is simply a tactic designed to garner support from the useful idiots in the West for killing Jews. Especially the European useful idiots whose only regret about World War II is that Hitler's Final Solution was not, y'know, final.
Minutes after the murders took place, spontaneous celebrations broke out in Palestinian towns. Make no mistake about it, there is a groundswell of popular support among the Palestinians for eliminating Jews from the face of the earth.
PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said the attack was "against Arab interests."
Disgusting. Not a word about right and wrong. Asserting only that the murders are bad publicity for the Arabs. I'm pretty sure it's the same language used by Arafat even as he unleashed his terrorists on the Jewish state.
Jews of conscience are reacting sensibly and with determination. The bigoted building freeze imposed by Barack Obama has been suspended immediately.

And Jews should build several towns in Judea and Samaria in memory of the four Jews who were slaughtered.
In fact, every time a Jew is murdered in the land of Israel, a new town should be founded. In this way, the Islamists know that there are consequences to their murderous actions.
The peace process is a farce. The murder process is a more apt description. Does anyone believe that the building freeze appeased the Palestinians? In fact, it emboldened them. They reasoned, quite logically, that they could not allow Barack Obama to be more Palestinian than they.
There is no reason to negotiate with an entity who is sworn to your destruction, save an appetite for national suicide, which is the ideological heart of the internatonal left.
Some conflicts are intractable. The U.S. and its allies during World War II understood that the only resolution to genocidal Nazism and Japanese Imperialism was total victory. Annihilate the enemy armies, destroy their homeland, dictate an unconditional surrender, and then build functioning democracies.
At some point, Israel and the freedom loving west will be compelled to follow the same strategy towards the Islamist Palestinians and the Islamist world.
The Islamists and their enablers must be brought to their knees and humiliated beyond endurance.
And please, don't talk to me about moderate Muslims.
They are about as relevant as were moderate Germans and moderate Japanese.
There is no substitute for total victory.
