The Necessity to Condemn Terrorism
(Makor Rishon-Hebrew, 28Apr2014) Uri Elitzur - It has been claimed that Israel can't criticize PA leader Mahmoud Abbas for not condemning the murder of Israel Police Chief Superintendent Baruch Mizrahi because Israeli leaders never condemn or express sadness when a Palestinian is killed. There have not been many cases where a Jewish murderer fired with premeditation at a passing Arab family with the intention of killing Arabs. There were a handful of these terrible cases over the past 40 years. But there is no basis for trying to create some sort of balance between Arab terror and Jewish terror. It is not possible to claim that no Israeli leaders condemned murder by Jews. The situation is exactly the opposite. There was no Israeli leader who did not condemn them - in the clearest language, without any "but" or "on the other hand," and without stuttering - from the left and the right, from the top leaders to the lowest officials - at the time of the event and also years later. There was never a shadow of a doubt that all Israeli leaders condemned them with full force and at full volume.
