It did not take long for justice to be served.
A month and a half after the murders, the Israel Defense Forces eliminated the murderers, at their hideout in Hebron.
While this does not, of course, bring back their innocent victims, it does bring justice to the world. For murderers of innocents to continue to breathe free air is an affront to the God Who created all human beings in His image.
May God grant the IDF the safety and strength to hunt down and eliminate the other murderers of innocents. If they can bring the terrorists to justice, fine. If justice must be brought to them, so be it.
But justice will be served.
(By the way, before beginning their assault on the hideout, the IDF called on the occupants to leave the house, thereby eliminating the element of surprise. Another example of the high ethical standards by which Israel holds it soldiers.)
thankfully they were not captured, to serve as bait for more Shalit-like kidnappings.
ReplyDeleteswift permanent, total destruction of not only the immediate terrorists but also those who enable them is the only way for Israel and Jews everywhere to survive.
Interesting. So if I was certain that you murdered a member of my family would it then be ok if I killed you without bothering with anything as pesky as "due process" or "evidence"? I guess you would agree with me.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope no one ever mistakes you for a criminal. You will have to kill yourself just to prove your point.

DeleteThere is a difference between killings done in a criminal context and killings done in a military context. Soldiers have no requirement to arrest those whom they have strong evidence are enemy combatants; they may kill them, if they feel their lives are in danger. Police officers, on the other hand, do have such a requirement. The killings of these four Israelis occurred in a military context.
Is this a fair distinction, in your view?
