Today, Erev Yom Kippur, an Arab terrorist shot and murdered an Israeli father of 6 while the Jew was going to a mikvah with his oldest son to purify for the holiday.

This is the first such murder since the Kenesset passed a death penalty law for, basically terrorists. Duvduvan soldiers found the murderer. He is in custody. This will be the first test case of this new law.

Watch closely to see how this plays out.

IMHO: whatever Israel has to do to make it not worthwhile to murder Jews are steps in the right direction. With that in mind dry up completely "Pay to Slay" funding. Also launch deep forensic investigations into whomever funds Muslim "aid" groups with ties to terrorist organizations. Not ok to sit on the sidelines and fund murder. Publicize their names. It's past time to pretend that Islam is " a religion of peace."

Maybe for this moment we can paraphrase Menachem Begin’s wonderful, truthful and powerful speech and say,

‘I am not a Zionist with trembling knees…’

"I absolutely reject the language that describes Jews living in Judea and Samaria as foreign occupiers in somebody else’s homeland."

How do you become enemy alien apartheid, settler, colonial, conquerors in you own indigenous territory?

Inquiring minds want to know

“The Jewish people maintained a continuous civilizational connection to this land through exile, prayer, law, literature, ritual and repeated return.”

All the atrocities listed in the article, rape, kidnapping, and murder are not mere crimes. They are war crimes. Even more, they fulfill the UN Genocide Convention of what constitutes Genocide. However, incidental details like that never bothered Social Justice Warriors.

Omitted from the list of Jewish connection to the land is the small point that they have maintained an unbroken presence on their ancestral homeland for 3,000+ years despite expulsion, slaughter, and periodic confinement to small enclaves.

“Palestinians have agency.”

Agency: that is ability to make choices and the requirement to accept responsibility for those choices.

“I do not believe those rights disappear because another population developed a competing national movement.“

A Population: A closer examination of it reveals they were one of several minorities within a country. When the area they lived in was seized during war with a neighbouring state, they accepted that state’s offer of citizenship. Even before the state reneged on the citizenship, they started demanding all of the territory of the state they lived in. The legal term is not a nationalist movement but a renegade insurgency.

“I do not believe historical Jewish land becomes foreign soil merely because Jews were exiled from parts of it.”

The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) would agree with you.

“you are not entitled to . . . rewrite Jewish history until my position becomes incomprehensible. Because I know where I stand.“

Sorry, but your understanding does not create any factuality or legality on Jewish history or the Jewish People’s claim to its indigenous homeland. For that we must turn to the UN Charter, International Law, Customary International Law, and established jurisprudence. All of whom unconditionally confirm it,. That said, a mere bagatelle for the UNGA, the UNSC, and the ICJ, something which they quickly dismiss as mere Jewish noise.

What?! You aren’t persuaded by interpretive dance to abandon your identity and history and God-given rights to the land of Israel? Have a nice glass of oat milk and I’m sure you’ll see the light.
