3 years ago today, an Islamist terrorist killed 4 people in Toulouse, France outside of a Jewish school. Rabbi Jonathan Sandler, 30, and his two sons, Gavriel, 3, and Aryeh, 6, were killed. 8-year-old Miriam was killed in front of her father. Rabbi Sandler had tried to shield his little boys from the attacker.
May their memories be a blessing.
As I listen to the coverage of the elections in Israel, all I know is I am happy with the outcome, Netanyahu clearly explains, and I agree with him about protecting our Jewish homeland, and I admire him for standing up to the world.
Here are a few articles of different points of view which were interesting to read. The bottom line for me is that the "International Community" needs to band together against militant Islam, that is what Israel faces everyday, that is the truth, that is the reality.
Interesting view of the future after the election, http://www.timesofisrael.com/king-bibi-and-his-divided-people/.
Here is an article from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Abunimah, a Palestinian-American journalist, http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/why-im-relieved-netanyahu-won. It is well written and lists the things I always here on the opposing side and as a Jewish person the argument makes no sense. Jewish people themselves have been through genocide, using that word about the middle east conflict makes no sense in my opinion, and also using apartheid or ethnic cleansing does not apply. Jewish law is about equality, doing good deeds, and truth. Also the BDS movement in my opinion is a failure, and luckily the international community as a whole is not jumping on board.
