We won't ever have peace without it.<br /><br />By releasing Arab killers of Jews, the Israeli government in effect says we understand the enemies of the Jewish people have a right to butcher them with axes and that in effect we forgive them when they take a human life and the value of a Jewish human life I suppose naturally means nothing to the Arabs for this is fully in keeping with their national character.<br /><br />To see some Jews come to agree with them that Jewish blood is cheap makes me feel ashamed! Where is the national honor and self-respect? It all has to be traded down for a photo op moment in Washington with the killers of Jewish children. <br /><br />I cannot bring myself to look into Rotenberg's eyes at this travesty of justice and I cannot defend before my late revered father this wretched theater of the absurd! The only thing I do know from subverting justice is what has been purchased with the blood of Jewish children will never lead to peace!<br /><br />In this world, for me some lines exist I myself cannot cross to remain a sane and decent person. Of course the Arabs will revel in Jewish humiliation and lack of self-respect! Their taking wanton pleasure in self-inflicted Jewish agony reminds me again why in truth peace with them is impossible.<br /><br />After all, they - the killers of Jewish children have not asked for forgiveness! As I think of this national disgrace inflicted upon Rotenberg's good name and that of the Jewish people, I keep thinking of Israel's revered national poet, Haim Nahman Bialik.<br /><br />He fittingly wrote in the aftermath of the Odessa pogrom that - "not even Satan has yet invented revenge for the murder of a small child." Nor can Israel see fit to keep the killers of Jewish children in prison where they belong! Its the enactment of a national disaster we're witnessing and desecrating the dead and subverting justice does not make any of us feel good!<br /><br />Right now peace is far, far, far and far away!NormanFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365459073293643108noreply@blogger.com
