TODAY’S BLOG:
As all regular readers of israelstreet know, Arabs in general and Palestinians in particular make no distinction between Israelis and Jews.

This means that you will most likely be unable to cialis sale online .
For example, whenever Mahmoud Abbas speaks in Arabic, he never says that “We must rise up against the Israelis” ; instead he says that “We must rise up against the Jews“. Yesterday, when Palestinians were passing out candies and sweets in celebration of the gruesome attack in the synagogue, their celebration was all about killing “Jews.”
Last night, an Israeli TV reporter took viewers on a gory tour of the inside of the synagogue showing where each rabbi was bloodily hacked and shot to death. As it turns out, the terrorists did not merely shoot those holy men who were praying. They also sprayed all of the holy books in the synagogue and the Aron Kodesh where the Torah scrolls are kept with gunfire.
Your humble servant thinks about all of this in connection with the statement that PM Netanyahu made to the nation last night. In that statement, Netanyahu called on all world leaders to express outrage over the massacre.
Aside from the fact that having to call on leaders to express such outrage is pathetically indicative of just how immoral the world has become, Netanyahu has inadvertently played into the hands of anti-Israel leaders around the world.
How? Because each one of these leaders feels that each time he or she condemns actions against “Jews”, that gives the person free rein five minutes later to harshly criticize Israel about everything from the price of yoghurt to the construction of a health clinic in Samaria.
To put all of this in a different way, whereas Arabs make no distinction between Israelis and Jews, the rest of the world makes every distinction. Netanyahu’s asking leaders to condemn what happened in the synagogue will in no way affect their unending attempt to undermine and delegitimize Israel.
