It’s Sunday 7:30am and my heart hurts. We’re about to start the last week of summer vacation and a beautiful 17 year old girl, Rina Shnerb, won’t be starting a new year. She was brutally murdered by radical islamists for having the nerve, as a Jew, to go swimming with her family.
Her brother and father who were severely injured in this attack are improving medically. They went swimming and a Palestinian terrorist detonated a bomb which killed Rina and injured them. They might be improving medically but are scarred emotionally forever. Trust me, I know.
Then last night, the Israeli security cabinet approved a very rare preemptive strike on Iran forces in Syria. The Irani plan was to attack northern Israel with militarized drones. Israel prevented it. Can’t help but imagine what would have happened. What could have happened.
The fact that Iran is trying everything in its power to establish an army in Syria is, in and of itself, terrifying and highly disturbing. The fact that they were going to use drones to murder innocent people who did nothing other than live in Israel says everything about Iran.
The fact of the matter is both the murderers of Rina and the operators of those Iran drones are one and the same: Radical Islam. These are two isolated events among over 600 attempts by radical Islam to attack Israel in 2019. Most prevented by the mossad. 600! Think about that.
What most of you, reading this, haven’t yet understood is that Israel is not the enemy of radical Islam; we all are. The western world is. They say it loud and clear, including from within the congress and the Israel Knesset. The goal of radical Islam is to take over our world.
I am trying very very hard to find the light at the end of this tunnel but the shadow that radical islam is casting over the world is expanding, and beautiful women and children are paying the ultimate price. The worst part is how silent the world is to these atrocities.
What the world has not yet understood is that there is zero difference, ZERO, between the ideology of Hamas, Hizbolloh, ISIS, Boko Haram, and the rest of them. They all have the same mission. They say it clearly, but you’re not listening.
The only thing I keep telling myself, as I try to grasp onto some optimism, is that for the first time in history, the Israeli security cabinet can preemptively attack our enemies before they accomplish their goal. For the first time, it’s in our hands and we won’t hesitate!
And how could one speak of Israel and the regional conflict without mentioning the poison being spread by the left about Israel’s right to exist? I truly hope the great Democratic Party gets their sh_t together and outs the dangerous radicals from within. Sooner than later.
We just commemorated 90 years since the Hebron Massacre. Folks, enough with the fake narratives. There was no occupation then. THERE WAS NO STATE OF ISRAEL THEN! And yet, innocent Jews were massacred by Arabs. Because that is what this conflict is about, Arabs murdering Jews.
Now going to start my day with a cup of coffee on the streets of Jerusalem. I’m going to try to do what Rina and Ari would want me to do, live life, celebrate our home, but it is becoming increasingly difficult and my heart hurts from all this hatred. It must stop!
I miss him.
