The death of Ezra Schwartz HY'D exposes so much that compel our shaking off our complacency . While a Department of State spokesperson condemned the murders last Friday. However, it was today Tuesday November 24, 2015 when President Obama called Ezra's parents to offer condolences.
Five days of outrage over the Oval Office's apparent indifference.
Yet how was the story reported? Media showed Ezra during his gap year with his buddies wearing an IDF uniform. Unlikely Ezra was actually serving as opposed to an IDF sponsored army experience designed for students to "serve" or as a volunteer in a support non-combat role. Ezra was not a soldier nor and extremist. Yet, nearly every young Black man shot by police is shown in cap and gown despite these people having criminal records or were under the influence of drugs etc.... This image strongly implies Ezra was no innocent but a soldier. Ezra is no different than any middle class kid inspired to join ISIS.
The insanity of so called Knife intifada is pronounced by the extreme youth of the stabbers. The choice of what is more heinous the random and extreme brutality expressed or the adults sending 13 and 14 year olds as combatants.
Even more so is the West's slow and equivocal response. Facing evil cannot be with a smile or in search for common ground. Evil most be destroyed. Tolerating evil places every one in danger. Tolerating evil never works out well for Jews, never.

IF THERE WAS ANY DOUBT
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2015/07/15/17-ridiculous-things-the-president-said-at-the-iran-news-conference/
Before anyone dismisses the linked article's observation. Today 7/16/2015 it was reported that the Secretary of Defense was dispatched to Israel and Saudi Arabia to sell the Iran deal. It was reported further that the administration would be open to additional arms sales to Israel.
If the deal is so good and the danger is muted why would Israel want additional weapons? Is thee still danger? Or was this gesture an act of contempt, to patronize Israel and trivialize its concerns.
Either way it is clear this administration is hostile to Israel and it is doubtful the President will ever be called Philo Semitic except by the cadre of sycophants who nourish the President's ego.

SCOTUS JERUSALEM, Anywhere but Israel
SCOTUS decided on Monday June 8,2015 that Congress' law giving Americans born in Israel's capital city , Jerusalem the option to have their American Passport list birthplace as Jerusalem, Israel. The Court's majority believes Congress overreached by affecting Foreign Policy the sole province of the President. Although there were dissents The Court 6-3 felt otherwise.
It is remarkable that it would appear the majority included the three Jewish Justices. Certainly, no one wants any judge letting anything but the law inform or influence one's decision. However, anyone familiar with the Justice system knows that ideal situation simply does not exist. Judges are people too and bring who they are as well. So where were the MOTs on the bench?
It is telling that to Justices Ginsberg, Breyer and Kagan the declaration "NEXT YEAR IN JERUSALEM" apparently has only ceremonial meaning. Why retreat from one's cultural background particularly when other Justices could have seen their way clear to uphold Congress' law and defend the honor of Jerusalem . It would be far too easy to say these Justices are more dedicated to siding with liberalism than with Judaism. An accusation temping as it maybe is still misplaced.
Or the even more disturbing thought is that if any Jewish Justice sided with Jerusalem being in Israel they would be fodder for Anti-Semites casting all Jews in government as being not fully American. This is 2015 not 1945 what a lesson in exile is exile even in the Goldeneh Medina
