The Logos of Terrorism
(Ynet News) Yechiel Leiter - How is the rational mind to understand the targeting of children for murder as instanced in the slaughter of the Fogel family and the firing of an anti-tank missile at a yellow Israeli school bus by Palestinian terrorists? Daniel Goldhagen, author of the critically acclaimed book, Hitler's Willing Executioners, began his research with a similar question. To implement the final solution, Goldhagen calculated, the Nazis needed many millions of ordinary Germans to participate, as it was a massive undertaking. These ordinary people were willing participants in mass murder because they had been conditioned, for years, to believe, that Jews were not humans. No less than 33% of the Palestinians questioned in a joint Hebrew University-Palestinian think tank poll openly support the murder of the Fogel family because, in mosques throughout the cities and villages of Palestinian residence, Jews are commonly referred to as sons and daughters of pigs and apes, and because sport stadiums in Gaza and Ramallah are named after suicide/homicide bombers.
