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.
