§ The Palestinian Authority's silence
over the murder of the Jewish teenager sends one clear message to the
Palestinian public: It is fine to kill a Jew.
§ Abbas's silence, in fact,
encouraged many Palestinians to express joy over the terrorist attack.
§ It was hard to find even one
Palestinian who was willing to express his or her revulsion over the terrorist
attack. But this makes sense. Why should any Palestinian come out against
terrorism when their leaders are either silent or joyously celebrating the
murder of a Jewish teenager?
§ This is the hate that has been
embedded in the hearts and minds of Palestinians toward Israel and Jews. When
Palestinians run to link the Palestinian slaughter of a Jewish teen to a Muslim
feast and the tradition of sacrificing sheep, it is clear that the time has
come for Palestinians to take a hard look at themselves – and if they are
nonetheless unwilling to do so, perhaps the international community might
finally bring a mirror to them.
