Hamas again indulges its taste for murdering innocent civilians -- in this case, the owner of a candy factory. It is astonishing that so many in the West are still so anxious to accord this group the moral high ground, or to think it will be bought off with negotiations and concessions. From Israel National News, with thanks to Kemaste:
It was released for publication Monday evening that an Israeli Jew from the Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev was kidnapped Wednesday and murdered by Arab terrorists.The body of Sasson Nuriel was discovered Monday morning in the Arab village of Bituniya, west of Ramallah....
Nuriel, 55, owned a candy factory in the Mishor Adumim industrial zone, near Jerusalem. His murderers, it appears, were members of the Hamas terrorist organization.
Nuriel disappeared last Wednesday and his wife reported him missing to the police late that night. Police and Shabak (General Security Services) agents then carried out a search and investigation that led to the discovery of Nuriel’s body Monday morning and the arrest of at least one Hamas terrorist in connection with the murder. His body showed signs of extreme violence.
The Palestinian Authority did nothing to assist Israel in its search for the kidnap-murder victim.
Though there is much to lament regarding the Israeli withdrawl from Gaza, separation would stop this sort of thing. We have seen Hamas launching missles over the wall, but Israeli retaliation slowed them down. I would be surprised if they can maintain it in the face of public discontent with the hell they bring down on Gaza. If a real border were to be created, the Palestinians would lose their assymetric options, such as murdering civilians. They would be forced into things like the missile attacks. Israeli retaliation would be much, much worse than any damage they could do. The conflict might grind toward a ceasefire by default. Leaving stray humans around for the animals is asking for trouble. It might be better to lop off the gangrenous limb rather than poison the body.

And it's again HAMAS, the very same terrorist organization that was recently presented in a sympathetic light on the national CBC network in Canada. (see more here)
I've seen the program with my own eyes. It's beyond disgusting.
I'm wondering what these dhimmis at CBC think of the 'persecuted freedom fighters' — their words —now.

"The Palestinian Authority did nothing to assist Israel in its search for the kidnap-murder victim."
Many members of the Palestinian Authority "police force" also have membership in Hamas. Their dual loyalty would tend to inhibit their ability to investigate terrorist acts.
kidnapping incidents like this certainly argue in favor of the second amendment and the right to bear arms for self-protection.
there is no need to allow one's self to be bullied by the likes of hamas or other cruel jihadists. jihadists claim to live under law but they are in fact lawless. jihadists consider any atrocity to be permissible as long as it promotes islam, so individual self-defense for westerners is definitely called for.
i hope israelis have the right to bear arms because the fairest of governments give their citizens that right to protect themselves, especially if in a war zone like israel. it is documented that crime skyrockets when firearms are taken away from free citizens. islam probably loves it when free nations are disarmed, such as what has recently happened to australia and britain when citizens were forced to turn in their guns.
i would think that a personal "equalizer" (firearm) would be called for to protect one's self from any hamas kidnapping nonsense.
of course, hamas cowardly keeps itself concealed inside the protective and passively supportive cover of palestinian society, fully taking advantage of israel's civility to not murder civilians. is anyone else tired of this? doesn't this sound like the strategy of jihad worldwide, to conceal itself inside of "innocent" and "blameless" moderate islam? when can we put a stop to this jihadism? i submit that it will be only when we put a stop to moderate islam, if ever. ban moderate islam now and deport muslims because moderate islam is just waiting around for jihad to take over. moderate islam is serving it's prescribed function of resistance, like a goat digging in it's heels, and as a launching pad for jihadism. jihad softens up the political structure. jihad is the "persuader" which brings change. moderate islam consolidates the gains made and does not give back an inch.
meanwhile, islamic progress for world takeover will continue by using this islamic modus operandi of passive resistance (moderate islam) and jihad (radical islam).
moderate islam is very coy about all this but can be counted on to take the side of radical islam when the chips are down.
the shiites in iraq are acting right but i call upon them to renounce islam and find another religion/culture so they do not fall back into the ways of islam.
the worldwide islamic jihad revolution is legalized criminality, a diabolical plot of satan. satan has to have something to hate and condemn, so the jews are serving as the best scapegoat around. satan hates the jews, and after all, the jews produced christ.
christianity is motivated by love, but islam is not. islam is motivated by the desire to subjugate, otherwise known as pride or the intense need to be right. but god resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. islam has to be right about everything, but man has to humble himself and not rely on his own righteousness in order to accept jesus christ. that is the only way to eternal life, and islam errs in it's arrogance. muslims have a need to be absolutely right, and muslims earn their righteousness. that will never cut it with god. only jesus can be our righteousness.
after islam pressures the world to convert to islam, i expect christians to become the next scapegoat of islam. right now islam seems to be trying to claim to be the christian's friend, which is absurd given the way islam burns down churches from africa to indonesia like matchsticks, and with the people inside.
the muslim jihadists are merely pawns of the devil. they know not what they do. however, jesus christ will rule the world in the end.
it is a virtue to rescue the perishing (israel) from death. israel is an innocent party and never oppressed anyone that i know of. israel is always on the receiving end of persecution. i fear that the west has been bought off by petroldollars, and i don't know if israel can handle the satanically inspired hatred from islam.
i wish we could move all of israel to south texas, usa, and get israelis away from these hamas jerks. there is a lot of vacant land from say corpus christi to brownsville and west to laredo. that appears to be a comparable area to what israel currently covers.
in due time, all jihadists will be consigned eternally to hell for choosing to remain spiritually dead instead of accepting spiritual life through jesus christ.
and i am sure islam has it's version of hell to accuse me with, copycats that they are. islam copies most everything found in christianity, but then islam is a religion of envy and jealousy, just like the devil.
No one that I know favors foreign aid to the PA, except maybe career diplomats in the State Dept and their sycophants in the MSM.
It is so exasperating listening to the political talking heads wringing their hands over all the problems in Iraq or the ME peace process; all the while never discussing the real problem (Islam).
" the fairest of governments give their citizens that right to protect themselves, especially if in a war zone like israel"
A country that forcefully expells 9,000 of it's bravest citizens from their homes can't be considered fair...

Thank you, kemaste. I overheard someone saying that perhaps the only good to come from the expulsion might be to finally let the rest of the world see the "Palestinians" for who they really are. Pardon me for being cynical, after hearing the CBC call Hamas 'freedom fighters'.
One entrepreneur is worth more than all the festering welfare camps (70%) of Gazastan.
Only when this is clarified, will tragedies such as the terrible killing here here be less likely.
And the appeasing fools in Europe keep marching to their own destruction. Encroyable.
We should leave the Holy Land to the control of these people who have no respect for anything or anyone? Bite your tongue! We leave nothing to these animals. We are to ask the adherents of one of the oldest religions in the world to abandon their..OUR holiest sites, including Jerusalem..to people who would urinate on them before they burned them. Some things my friends are out of the question and moving Jews out of Israel to Texas or any other place will not happen. The barbarians will not and cannot triumph.
