There are those within our Jewish community who insist that Israel is not doing enough to accomplish a “two state solution.” Let those activists answer the following questions: who is a partner for peace with Israel? Is it two Palestinian cousins who butchered innocent Rabbis at prayer? Is it HAMAS urging Palestinians to carry out more such murders? Is it President Abbas’ official Facebook page of FATAH praising the murders of Jews while praying? Is it the Palestinian women singing and dancing for joy and distributing candy and other sweets to celebrate the murder of innocent Jews at prayer?
Negotiations can only succeed when there is a true peace-seeking partner for Israel to deal with.
In the meantime, what happened in Jerusalem should make ALL people of true faith unite in condemning such barbarous acts.
