The Moral Depravity of the Liberal Media
On Sunday, approximately 20,000 mourners attended the funerals at Givat Shaul cemetery in Jerusalem for five members of the Fogel family murdered on Friday night by Arab Muslim terrorists. Responsibility for the slaughter was claimed not by Hamas or Hizbullah, but by the Al Aqsa Murder Brigade, an arm of the Palestinian Authority. In short, the slaughter of the Fogel family was an official act committed by Israel's peace partners.
The murder of Jews, especially Jewish children and infants, is, according to the liberal Western media, a “natural response to Israeli aggression.”
Yup, slashing the throats of children, and infants is natural.
Well, yes, if you're an animal.
This justification for the annihilation of Jewish lives has become accepted wisdom among European and Western Liberals.
It's nothing new.
It's merely a variation of the medieval Blood Libel.
Mourners weep during the funeral of Ehud Fogel, 36, his wife Ruth, 35, and their children 11 year-old Yoav, 4 year-old Elad, and 3-month-old Hadas, stabbed to death in their beds by Arab Muslim terrorists.
The simple truth is that the Muslim war against the Jewish state has nothing to do with so-called settlements.
How long before Brooklyn, Los Angeles, London or Madrid are defined by Muslims as settlements?
In fact, the Arabs believe that the entire state of Israel is a settlement deserving annihilation.
The Muslim war against the Jewish state has nothing to do with land, national boundaries or refugees. It is a jihad, a pitiless religious war that Muslims have waged against the Jewish people since the 7th century.
Melanie Phillips correctly nails the liberal media as a lynch mob, barbarians who are “beyond desolation.”
...the moral depravity of the Arabs is finding a grotesque echo in the moral bankruptcy and worse of the British and American ‘liberal’ media – a sickening form of armchair barbarism which is also in evidence, it has to be said, on the comment thread beneath my post below.
Overwhelmingly, the media have either ignored or downplayed the atrocity – or worse, effectively blamed the victims for bringing it on themselves, describing them as ‘hard-line settlers’ or extremists. Given that three of the victims were children, one a baby of three months whose throat was cut, such a response is utterly degraded.
The New York Times blamed Israeli ‘defiance’ over renewed ‘settlement’ building in the wake of the massacre for throwing:
“...already shaky peace efforts into a new tailspin.”
So to the New York Times, it’s not the Arab massacre of a Jewish family which has jeopardised ‘peace prospects’ — because the Israelis will quite rightly never trust any agreement with such savages — but instead Israeli policy on building more homes, on land to which it is legally and morally entitled, which is responsible instead for making peace elusive. Twisted, and sick.

Seraphic Secret believes, and has believed for a long time that:
1. All negotiations with the Arab Muslims should cease. Never have a people proven themselves less deserving of a national home. There is nothing to discuss with incipient genociders. Magical thinking about peace is a form of national Jewish suicide.
2. Israel should build thousands and thousands of housing units in Judea and Samaria. No plot of land should be off-limits.
3. And finally, the death penalty must be used by the Israeli judiciary. It exists on the books but has only been used for Nazi genocider Adolph Eichmann. The Arab Muslim terrorists are as depraved and evil as any Nazi and the death penalty must be in play, if only to avoid the vile, asymmetrical “prisoner exchanges” which have become a regular feature of the fractured moral landscape of the Muslim war against the Jews.
For too long, Israel has been in a defensive posture.
As we all know, when you try to defend everything, you end up defending nothing.
Israel must go on the offensive.
Her very survival depends upon such a strategy.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu comforts the Fogel family as they sit shiva.
Here's his response to their grief:
”They murder, we build.”
HY'D, May G-d avenge their blood.
And Glenn Beck ponders the horror of the Fogel family massacre.
In a recent issue of The Jewish Journal—we in the L.A. Orthodox community refer to this rag as the Not-So Jewish Journal—the editor, Rob Eshman, labeled Glenn Beck an anti-Semite. Eshman, over the years, with financing from radical Los Angeles leftists, has succeeded in creating one of the most grim, anti-Israel weeklies—which, naturally, bleeds red ink—to ever grace the American Jewish community. Glenn Beck's consistent elegance on behalf of Israel and the Jewish people has never but never found its equal in Eshman's editorials which are characterized by shameless shilling for Obama, ignorance of Israel's geo-political situation, and such a twisted view of Judaism that The Jewish Journal would, except for token Conservative columnists David Suissa and Dennis Prager, find an enthusiastic audience in Gaza.
