Open Season on Jewish Settlers
A Jew has been murdered.
In the land of Israel.
The terrorists will put out the fable that this atrocity was committed in order to derail Annapolis.
This is a tactical ploy to force gullible Israelis to stand up and proclaim that no matter how many Jews are murdered they will sit down and negotiate with the very people who ordered and executed these murders.
The PA play their old double-flag game. They send word down through the ranks to spill some Jewish blood in order to intimidate Israel and the West into making more concessions before negotiations even begin; the implied threat is that there will be greater bloodshed if concessions are not made.
This is how jihadists negotiate—through the business end of a Kalachnikov.
It's madness to sit down with such people.
It's greater madness to contemplate rewarding such thugs with a state.
And of course Mahmoud Abbas, the old Holocaust denier who received his Ph.D from Moscow's Friendship University—impressive!—denies that he's involved in this round of violence; shrugs and says he has no control over this particular group.
The PA finances and controls Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the terrorist group who proudly take responsibility for this atrocity.
But Abbas lies and lies and lies some more. That's what he learned from his mentor the serial liar and master terrorist Yasir Arafat.
But let's play a game: let's say Abbas is not lying.
Why would Israel negotiate with a man who has no control over anything?
In fact, there's a joke among the Arabs: Abbas is the President of The Muqata. In case you don't know, The Muqata is Arafat's compound in Ramallah.
Mahmoud Abbas is a simulcram of a leader invented by Ehud Olmert, Tzipi Livni and Condi Rice to convince themselves that there is someone responsible with whom to negotiate. In truth, Mahmoud Abbas is no more substantial than a holograph.
Abbas and the PA are not in control of Gaza. That salient now belongs to Hamas, Hizbullah and a dozen other transnational terrorist gangs and the various rival criminal clans who have carved up the neighborhoods like mini mafias. As for Judea and Samaria, well, only one precinct voted for the PA, the rest are solidly behind Hamas. Only the presence of Israeli citizens and the IDF keeps this soil from descending into familiar Palestinian bloodshed and chaos.
Here's the bitter truth about Abbas and the PA: they are effective thieves, liars and killers. Beyond that, they are unable to organize effective garbage pick-ups in a single municipality.
In any case, a Jew has been murdered and the world yawns.
But we at Seraphic Secret are outraged at the murder and the disgusting silence that echoes from the world media. And when they do bother to mention this atrocity, it's tacitly excused through the use of editorial language that cunningly stresses this fine husband and father's status as a "settler."
Fact: America was built by courageous settlers.
When did settler become a dirty word?
When did it become politically correct to murder settlers?
Shame on the left, and so many feckless liberal Jews for torturing language to the point where this word has become a badge of shame.
For in truth each settler is performing a holy mitzvah by settling the Land of Israel.
Jews have the right to live anywhere and everywhere.
I have a prediction.
In a few years, Muslims will declare sections of New York, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Los Angeles and Copenhagen, to be Muslim territory, and those who are not part of the Umma will be considered infidels—hence fair game.
What will the citizens of those fine cities do when they find themselves hunted like Jewish settlers?
Thousands of mourners came to Kedumim Tuesday afternoon for the funeral of Ido Zoldan, 29, son of Nachman and Miriam Zoldan, who was killed by Arab gunmen late Monday night as he returned in his car from Karnei Shomron to Shavei Shomron.
Ido (pronounced ee-doe), known affectionately by all who knew him as Idodee, had been studying in chevruta (a study group for Jewish learning) with a friend, and was on his way home when the terrorists riddled his car with bullets.
Gray clouds filled the sky and rain poured down on the funeral. The speakers were the leading spiritual and political voices of the Jewish communities in northern Samaria and in the rest of Judea and Samaria, nearly all of whom knew Ido well, and it was clear that this funeral was unlike others. The voices bespoke deep pain and angry courage. Ido was truly a beloved and inspiring individual.
These are some of the words that were said at the funeral:
Rabbi Tzvi Farbstein, Rabbi of Kedumim: "This is not the family's private grief not; this is not the community's private grief, this is the grief of the Nation of Israel…
"On the day that the government of Israel understands that we have come home after 2000 years and the Land of Israel cannot be bargained over, the terror will be eliminated. On the day that the government of Israel understands that Jewish blood is not free for the taking, the terror will be eliminated. On the day that the government of Israel stops differentiating between moderate murderers and immoderate murderers, between Hamas and other murderers, the terror will be eliminated."

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
How sad. In any normal country, this alone would be reason enough to derail the sham negotiations. But the Israeli govt. has no end of excuses for the Pals. It's all about their own greed and ambition.

I read about this on the news, as most people did, and it made me sad and angry. Then my son came home from school and told me that one of his friends cried most of the day. Why? Because the person killed was his uncle. Now it hurts just a little bit more.

Robert, I would like to know that you send your crystal clear analyses of current events to those about whom you write, those who need to realize their folly, that is, the members of the U.S. and Israeli governments. Who better than you to send a message with your already written pursuasive blogs. The Comments Section of the Arutz Sheva article contains some contact information for both you and your articulate readers.

Sad, tragic, infuriating. Annapolis is a folly and it's not yet begun. Oslo Redux, Madrid, redux, Camp David, redux.
We've seen this movie before and we know how it ends.
Now, the only question is: how long before Olmert's despised government falls?

Westbank Mama:
The cost to Jewish children is immense and naturally the world yawns. Or they blame, who else, the settlers.
It's much like amputating a man's leg and then holding him in contempt for limping.
