Never a Chance

Three young Jews were taken by terrorists in the Biblical heartland. A frantic search ensued in an attempt to rescue the two sixteen year old boys and the nineteen year old. There was some recrimination over whether an initial call to police by one of the abducted boys was dismissed as a prank. Even if the call was initially considered a hoax, the act of attempting to contact the authorities by one of the boys evidently led to their being immediately shot by those holding them. All three are dead, not because of police inaction, or because they were settlers, but because they were JEWS. It is enough in the minds of those who despise us (I am a Jew) that we keep our Covenant with Abraham and follow the Law of Moses and not submit to them and Muhammad that they want to kill us. The lesson that has to emerge from this is that those who took the boys are evil and are motivated by a fanatic mindset that grips much of the Arab and Muslim world and has to be defeated.
