The limping woman burst into sobs when the metal detector went off.
Tearfully, she explained to the soldier on duty that the alarm had been
set off by a metal pin implanted in her knee, and she needed to pass
through the security checkpoint in order to reach a therapy clinic on the
other side. Nodding in sympathy, the soldier led her to a private room,
where, he told her, out of respect for female modesty, she would be
manually inspected by a woman soldier. But before he could fetch the
female inspector, the “handicapped” woman detonated the bomb belt which
had triggered the alarm, killing herself and murdering the young soldier,
two of his comrades, and a civilian security guard.
The bomber accomplished her bloody goal by appealing to the compassion
of the soldier guarding the checkpoint. Had he been slightly less
sympathetic, less anxious to avoid inconveniencing a handicapped person
seeking humanitarian assistance, he might have saved his own life and the
lives of his comrades. His own kindness killed him.
The tragic irony of this situation is completely lost on all the European
and leftist supporters of the “Palestinian cause” whose continuous
drumbeat accusing Israel of “apartheid” “racism” “cruelty” “oppression”
and “genocide” is as demonstrably false as it is illogical. If anything,
the Israelis are suffering precisely because they are showing too much
kindness to their enemies. The Jewish people have always valued mercy
and compassion and abhor cruelty, even cruelty to one’s enemies. Hamas
knows this, and that is why they train their terrorist operatives to take
advantage of this inherent trait in order to accomplish their missions of
mass murder. Were the Israelis in actual fact as brutal as their opponents
always claim they are, none of these massacres would have taken place.
The following photo display, showing the funerals of the Hamas “mother”
suicide bomber on one side and her victims on the other, demonstrates
better than any words the difference between the “cruel” and the
“merciful.”
The Bible says, “Do not be overly righteous or too
wise. Why should you become desolate?” Ecclesiastes 7:16.
The Midrash comments on this verse, “Those who are merciful to the
cruel, in the end will be cruel to the merciful.”
Here we see the terrible truth of this prophetic warning before our very
eyes. Unnatural kindness and excessive deliberation is not only sinful,
but will result in devastation and cause even more suffering to the
innocent. This becomes all the more tragic when we see that the leaders
of Israel are being guided in their ideas of “righteousness” not by the
commands of G-D, but by the trendy opinions of the media elite or by the
resolutions passed by majority of tyrants in the UN. By using these
obscene “standards” to define “righteousness” and “compassion,” the
murderers of pregnant women and infants are hailed as “courageous
fighters against occupation” while a gentleman who unplugs a spotlight
at an “art” exhibit is accused of “crimes against humanity.”
The perversion of what has come to be called “justice” and “truth” and
what is condemned as “oppression” and “lies” is so obscenely blatant,
one can only ask, in shocked bewilderment, if the self-appointed
“prophets of the media” are so insane that they actually believe their
own outrageous lies, or are they so arrogant they can say whatever they
want and expect to get away with it?
We small people must not be bullied into allowing the media elite and
the tyrants among nations to call themselves “The World” and to declare
what is “righteous” and “just” for all humanity. Righteousness and
justice can not be redefined by popular opinion—righteousness and
justice have been determined by G-D for all time.
“I realized that whatever G-D does will endure forever: Nothing can
be added to it and nothing can be subtracted from it, and G-D has acted
so that people should stand in fear of Him. What has been, already is,
and what is still to be, has already been, and G-D recognizes the one
who is oppressed.”—Ecclesiastes 3:14-15.
