Rabbi Leo Dee: Ordinary Palestinians Silently thank Allah for the Jenin Operation
(Jewish Chronicle - UK) Rabbi Leo Dee - When Lucy, Maia, and Rina were suddenly and brutally taken from this world during Pesach, I cried in pain. Not against every Arab, not against every Muslim, but against every terrorist. I have Palestinian friends and acquaintances. That is the norm when you live in Efrat. Indeed it is the norm when you live in any location in Judea and Samaria (unaffectionately known as the "West Bank"). Our local supermarket is located in Area C, and I select my tomatoes and cucumbers standing next to Palestinian men and women who live in Bethlehem and Hebron. Unsurprisingly, most of these people are just like you and me. And then there are terrorists. They are not like you and me. They were mostly brought up in UNRWA-run "refugee" towns and trained in terrorist skills during summer camps and fed hatred through Palestinian Authority textbooks that glorify past murderers of innocent civilians. That UNRWA even considers them refugees after 75 years is a direct result of United Nations antisemitism. What most people are unaware of is how the "good" Palestinians hate the terrorists. They despise them. However, they live in fear, in a terror state, the Palestinian Authority (PA). They unanimously describe the murderers of my family as "inhuman" and "not believing in Allah" when they see me. Jenin has become a center for terror and the IDF is wise and brave to enter and eliminate it. The "good" Palestinians silently thank Allah for the operation, but they have little hope as the international funding of this terror state goes on and on.
