We don't need the world's permission
These are sick times we're living in.
To those who don't understand why Israelis couldn't give a FF about what the "world" thinks of Israel, this is the answer. Read carefully. Those who still don't get it after reading this article will never get it. They don't want to get it.
"Now there is one less of them," a Danish Facebook user wrote gleefully after a 13-year-old Jewish girl was stabbed to death in her sleep in her bedroom by a Palestinian man. He thought that the heinous, cowardly murder of an innocent child in her sleep was simply a part of "the resistance" against the Jews.
What kind of human being seeks to justify the cowardly murder of an innocent child in her sleep? Imagine the outcry, if that child had been an Arab and its murderer a Jew. The news would have caused an uproar on the front pages of all the news outlets in the world. Since the girl was Jewish, needless to say, the latter did not happen.
The Israel-Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, Sari Bashi, could not just do the decent thing and condemn the murder but had to tweet instead that "settlements are illegal, but settlers are NOT legitimate targets." What sickening times we live in, when a human rights organization cannot bring itself to say more than that the murder of a sleeping Jewish child is not legitimate. Bashi had no response to Mark Halawa, who told her, "I was one of those brainwashed Palestinian children. All Jews are our targets. This settler nonsense you speak of is for idiots!" Contrast that with Bashi's tweet from June 27, when she emotionally gushed, "Powerful, chilling research by B'Tselem on boy killed, cousins hurt when Israeli soldiers sprayed car with bullets."
The Palestinian Authority was very quick to honor the terrorist. According to Palestinian Media Watch, Fatah's official Facebook page immediately posted his picture, declaring him a shahid (martyr) -- the highest honor achievable in Islam. WAFA, the Palestinian Authority's official news agency, honored him as well. The murderer's family will immediately start receiving a monthly stipend that the PA pays to the families of all "martyrs."
