Israel: Cops storm home of Islamic jihad terrorists who murdered 4 rabbis

Nov 18, 2014 3:21 pm By Robert Spencer

Israeli police officers hold weapons near scene of attack at a Jerusalem synagogue“But what is most shocking is that it’s just the cruelty of the massacre but also those (images) of glee and joy in Gaza, in Bethlehem and in other places where candy was handed out, where fireworks were set off, where praises were heard.” Indeed. But no one will draw the obvious conclusions.

“Cops storm home of terrorists who slaughtered 4 rabbis,” by David K. Li and Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, November 18, 2014:

Three Americans — including one with close ties to Boston and New York — were among four rabbis killed Tuesday during a brutal attack inside a Jerusalem synagogue.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “respond with a harsh hand” to the horrific assault that ​also brought a condemnation from Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas.

American Rabbi Moshe Twersky was among the victims.

Netanyahu ​took swift action, ordering authorities to destroy the homes of Tuesday’s attackers a​s well as those of Palestinians involved in other recent deadly attacks.

In an address to his nation on Tuesday night, Netanyahu said he was incensed to see news footage of Palestinians dancing in the streets of Bethlehem and the Gaza Strip, celebrating the slaughter.

“But what is most shocking is that it’s just the cruelty of the massacre but also those (images) of glee and joy in Gaza, in Bethlehem and in other places where candy was handed out, where fireworks were set off, where praises were heard,” the prime minister said.

The Americans were identified as Aryeh Kupinsky, Kalmen Levin and Moshe Twersky. Liverpool-born Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, who most recently lived in North London, was the British citizen killed in the attack, according to The Sun newspaper.

The four all held dual citizenship with Israel. They were slaughtered when two Palestinians armed with meat cleavers and a gun stormed the building and began attacking people.

“This affects both nations, Israel as well as the United States. Our hearts go out to the families who obviously are undergoing enormous grief right now,” President Obama said.

“Secretary [of State John] Kerry has spoken to Prime Minister Netanyahu. President Abbas has strongly condemned the attacks. ”

The attackers did not cover their faces and they shouted “Allahu Akbar” during the carnage, witnesses told The Times of Israel.

Police eventually killed the attackers in a violent firefight, but not before eight others were wounded, one critically, authorities said.

“Tragically, this is not the first loss of life that we have seen in recent months,” Obama said.

“Too many Israelis have died. Too many Palestinians have died. And at this difficult time, I think it’s important for both Palestinians and Israelis to try to work together to lower tensions and to reject violence.”

With three Americans among the victims, FBI agents will join the probe.

“When US citizens are the victims of terrorists attacks overseas, the FBI investigates the incident,” a law enforcement source told The Post.

One of the American victims, Twersky, has particularly close ties to New York and Boston.

Twersky was born in Boston and his dad, Isadore Twersky, is founder of Harvard’s Center for Jewish Studies.

Twersky’s grandfather was prominent philosopher Joseph B. Soloveitchik, dean at New York’s Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary at Yeshiva University, according to published reports.

“He (Isadore Twersky) was my colleague, Professor Twersky at Harvard for many years. And the victim’s mother was the teacher of my children and the victim’s grandfather (Soloveitchik) was one of the greatest rabbis in modern Jewish history,” American defense attorney and former Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told CNN.

“The man who was killed today was a man of peace, a scholar, somebody who was not really involved in politics. He just loved learning.”

Twersky graduated from Maimonides School in Brookline, Mass., WCVB reported.

The school posted on its website Tuesday: “We mourn the loss of our 1973 graduate, Rabbi Mosheh Twersky, z”l, murdered by terrorists in Jerusalem.”

The abbreviation z”l​ stands for zichrono livracha​, which means, “may his/her memory be blessed.”

The school also said it was “engulfed in grief and rage” over Twersky’s slaying.

Rabbi Menacham Genack, chief executive officer of Orthodox Union, was close friends with Twersky and was a student of Soloveitchik’s.

“I was supposed to call him today. I woke up to learn he was murdered. I was absolutely stunned,” a crushed Genack said. “I spoke to his mother yesterday and I was supposed to call him today.”

Genack called Twersky a humble and caring teacher who didn’t deserve to die in such a brutal manner.

“This story is becoming too painful over and over again,” he said of the non-stop cycle of violence. “It’s very disconcerting, it’s incomprehensible.”

Edwin Maltzman, one of Twersky’s classmates at the Maimonides School, fondly recalled his old friend’s love of scripture — and courage to question elders in class.

“He always engaged with the rabbis in discussions. Moshe was verbally sparring with them on another level,” Maltzman told The Post.

“A rabbi would make a point and Moshe would challenge him. Sometimes the rabbis would retract their points. He was on another level.”

Maltzman, a 58-year-old Brooklyn man, added: “This is such a terrible tragedy. To be murdered inside a synagogue — that’s unbelievable.”

David Osborne, one of Goldberg’s best friends, called his pal a “pillar of the community.”

“He was the most wonderful person you could meet,” Osborne told Jewish News.

“I was on my way to the synagogue when I heard screams and shots being fired — I knew instantly it was bad.”

The attack in the ultra-Orthodox Har Nof neighborhood in the western part of Jerusalem was the deadliest in Israel’s capital since 2008, when a Palestinian gunman shot eight people in a religious seminary.

A worshiper inside the Kehillat Bnei Torah synagogue said the attackers “went wild,” shooting and hacking helpless victims.

There were about two dozen people inside when the attack unfolded.

“I looked up and saw someone shooting people at point-blank range,” witness Yosef Posternak told Israel Radio. “Then someone came in with what looked like a butcher’s knife and he went wild.”

Posternak said unarmed worshipers tried to fight back.

“I saw people lying on the floor, blood everywhere,” he said. “People were trying to fight with (the attackers) but they didn’t have much of a chance.”…

    Are you co-opting the word ‘infidels’ to mean that muslims are our own infidels?

    • Aardvark says

      Nov 18, 2014 at 4:25 pm

      ‘Infidel’ means one who doesn’t have fidelity, that is, who is not faithful. So a Christian has just as much right to call Mohammedans unfaithful as vice versa. There is no coopting here, that is just what the word means!

        My gosh, how people can get prickly here. I had trouble understanding how these words were strung together. My question to Michael was absolutely innocent, motivated by the need to know. I’d never heard the term applied to muslims.
        Of course, all theists and atheists have the absolute right to term these savage brain-dead cultists anything they want.

    Am I crazy,the press says people are celebrating waving hatchets and cleavers in the air. To me it is showing me others that would do the same thing and giving me targets for elimination. Let them celebrate,it means they support such action and as supporters they are just as guilty and also be eliminated. I bet after a few hundred get killed the celebration will be more private.

          Does anyone with the slightest degree of intelligence really think that lunatics, fanatics and felons will obey gun laws?
          In Chicago it was recently made legal to carry a concealed weapon. Guess what? The murder, armed robbery incidence halved immediately. The above groups all LIKE to prey upon the supposedly weak, but only IF they do not carry weapons and NO amount of Christian or leftist bleeding heart morality will change that. Those three groups only respect the application of greater violence than they can inflict themselves. 4000 years of recorded history have proven this , time and time again.
          Also it looks like Obama is going to do a “Die Gotterdammerung” and damage the USA, Israel and the west as much as possible before he is forced to leave and this time there is no Speer (let’s not debate that one)

    There is a myth that Islamic Jihadi terorist attacks against Jews in Israel have a cause in any legitimate grievances about “occupation” “Zionism” or imagined “Apartheid” or “disputed” East Jerusalem.

    This latest attack was carried against ultra orthodox messianic Jews living well to the West of the allegedly disputed East Jerusalem. Most of them would not set a foot anywhere on the “Al Aqsa” grounds, not because the land does not belong to the Jews, but, on the contrary, because of the fear of inadvertently desecrating the site of “Holiest of Hollies”. Mostly they don’t serve in the Israeli military because they wait for the Messiah to redeem them. They do no present any material threat to any Muslim, except the Islamic fear that Muslims may be converted to their religious views, even though they do not preach or proselytise to non-Jews.

    The reality is that most Muslims believe in and support a genocidal agenda against all Jews, wherever they are. That genocidal agenda is not new. It was invented by Mohammed, and is rooted in the Koran and the Hadith.

    Since the days of Mohammed and his thugs massacred the Jews of Arabia, starting with the Khaybar and Medina, the Muslims have relentlessly pursued this genocidal agenda. That was about 1400 years ago.

    Massacres of Jews in Jerusalem and Hebron followed incitement very similar to as heard these days and heard in the mosques during Friday prayers two decades before Israel even became a state.

    The world is usually oblivious to that genocidal agenda and non-Jew often fail to realise that after the Jews, who are the first target, all Christians, and Hindus, and Atheists and all non-Muslims, and all Muslims who hold slightly divergent views from each other are on the Islamic Jihadi genocidal hit list.

    And, as usual, the “innocent” Islamists, were distributing sweets in Gazza and other Islamist towns and cities to celebrate their own depravity.

      Maybe Synagogues and Churches and Hindu Temples in any country where there are mohammedan colonies need to get cracking and *create* the equivalent of a Sergeant-at-Arms.

      Kinda sorta like the Pope’s Swiss Guard – who may *look* pretty and colourful, but I’ll *bet* that they have serious armed and unarmed combat training, and besides their “period” weapons they probably have 21st century weapons discreetly tucked away; I think any jihadi who might want to attack should think twice about tangling with those guys.

      I live in the heart of pro-gun Florida. Every man (including relatives) I talk to have concealed carry permits. Most have a small arsenal, much, much larger than my 5 self and family protectors. There is virtually NO violent crime in our County! You never know who is carrying! It makes thugs and even psychotics wary about attacking people like me, a little old man of 77!!

    What is the FBI going to do when they discover that the attackers were all muslimes? Will they even make that observation? The Rabbi was not engaged in high risk behavior why did these people attack?
    (zichrono livracha) to all the victims. I disagree with,” Too many palistinians have died”, I think that not enough of them have died as consequences for barbarism.

    NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM? SAVAGERY?

    Not in the minds of the majority of Muslims. They think the atrocities are ‘heroic’ acts of REAL ISLAM!

    How could they be wrong? They know Islam better than Westerners.

    The Muslim murderers, as they desecrated a Jewish place of worship by barging in and murdering the unarmed people who were peacefully praying there (exactly as marauding Muslims have, in the recent past, desecrated Christian – Coptic Christian, Syrian Christian, Iraqi Christian, African Christian, Pakistani Christian – places of worship, by bombing or machine-gunning or grenading, or by barging in and throwing rocks, as Muslim “youths” did in France not so long ago) shouted “Allahu akbar”. That is, “allah is greater”. It’s a boast: by killing persons of a non-Muslim faith, in that faith’s place of meeting or worship, and shouting ‘allah is greater’, the megalomaniacal malignant narcissists of Islam think that they are demonstrating that their horrible little demon of blood and war, allah the drinker of fresh human blood, is superior to the god or gods of the non-Muslim worshippers the Muslims are butchering.

    I once was surrounded by liberal women in a social activity, and one of them disclosed her palestinian views. I quietly took up the defense of Israel. She responded by asking me point blank if I was Jewish.
    When I declared that I was, she revealed her liberal fanaticism in support of those poor innocent victims of Israel.
    My mind was blown away. Suddenly I had become the enemy of the human race.

It was when she took up the cause for the Gitmo prisoners that things went down hill. After we had agreed to disagree on that subject, I heard all my other faults that she had been suppressing her opinions on. Long list!!!

    Anyone who has studied human history is forced to the realization that, at some point, one side of this conflict must completely annihilate the other. Up until a generation ago, the leadership of the West understood that there are ideologies that no civilization worthy of the name can coexist with. The collapse of Western leadership has not been this obvious and extreme since 1914.

    INSIDE THE ISLAMIC STATE NON MUSLIM PROTECTED;

    Non Muslim (dhimmi) was protected: Jew agreed:
    Muslim :: Book 30 : Hadith 5853
    The Jew went to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Abu’l-Qasim, I am a Dhimmi and (thus need your protection) by a covenant, and added: Such and such person has given a blow upon my face. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Why did you give a blow on his face? He said: Allah’s Messenger, this man said: By Him Who chose Moses (peace be upon him) amongst mankind, whereas you are living amongst us. Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) became angry and signs of anger could be seen on his face, and then said: Don’t make distinction amongst the Prophets of Allah.
    Bukhari :: Book 5 :: Volume 57 :: Hadith 50
    I also recommend him concerning Allah’s and His Apostle’s protectees (i.e. Dhimmis) to fulfill their contracts and to fight for them and not to overburden them with what is beyond their ability.”
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 52
    Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
    A Jew whose face had been slapped (by someone), came to the Prophet and said, “O Muhammad! A man from your Ansari companions slapped me. ” The Prophet said, “Call him”. They called him and the Prophet asked him, “Why did you slap his face?” He said, “O Allah’s Apostle! While I was passing by the Jews, I heard him saying, ‘By Him Who chose Moses above all the human beings.’ I said (protestingly), ‘Even above Muhammad?’ So I became furious and slapped him.” The Prophet said, “Do not give me preference to other prophets, for the people will become unconscious on the Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain conscious, and behold, I will Find Moses holding one of the pillars of the Throne (of Allah). Then I will not know whether he has become conscious before me or he has been exempted because of his unconsciousness at the mountain (during his worldly life) which he received.”
    Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 55 :: Hadith 626
    Muslim :: Book 30 : Hadith 5853
    Protection for non Muslim responsible for Muslim:
    9: 6. And if anyone of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) seeks your protection then grant him protection, so that he may hear the Word of Allah (the Qur’ân), and then escort him to where he can be secure, that is because they are men who know not.
    7. How can there be a covenant with Allah and with His Messenger for the Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) except those with whom you made a covenant near Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makah)? So long, as they are true to you, stand you true to them. Verily, Allah loves Al-Muttaqûn
    Dawud :: Book 19 : Hadith 2955
    Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:
    A son of Adi ibn Adi al-Kindi said that Umar ibn AbdulAziz wrote (to his governors): If anyone asks about the places where spoils (fay’) should be spent, that should be done in accordance with the decision made by Umar ibn al-Khattab (Allah be pleased with him). The believers considered him to be just, according to the saying of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him): Allah has placed truth upon Umar’s tongue and heart. He fixed stipends for Muslims, and provided protection for the people of other religions by levying jizyah (poll-tax) on them, deducting no fifth from it, nor taking it as booty.
    Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 52 :: Hadith 287
    Narrated ‘Amr bin Maimun:
    Umar (after he was stabbed), instructed (his would-be-successor) saying, “I urge him (i.e. the new Caliph) to take care of those non-Muslims who are under the protection of Allah and His Apostle in that he should observe the convention agreed upon with them, and fight on their behalf (to secure their safety) and he should not over-tax them beyond their capability
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 49
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
    The Prophet said, “Whoever killed a Mu’ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling).”

    Public people have no right to punish the people:

    Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 173
    It is narrated on the authority of Miqdad b. Aswad that he said. Messenger of Allah, you just see (here is a point): If I encountered a person amongst the infidels (in the battlefield) and he attacked me and struck me and cut off one of my hands with the sword. Then he (in order to protect himself from me) took shelter of a tree and said: I become Muslim for Allah’s sake. Messenger of Allah, can I kill him after he had uttered this? The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: Do not kill him. I (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, he cut off my hand and uttered this after amputating it; should I then kill him? The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Don’t kill him, for I you kill him, verily he would be in a position where you had been before killing him and verily you would be in a position where he had been before uttering (kalima).
    Malik :: Book 21 : Hadith 21.10.19
    Yahya said that Malik was asked whether someone who killed one of the enemy could keep the man’s effects without the permission of the Imam. He said, “No one can do that without the permission of the Imam. Only the Imam can make ijtihad. I have not heard that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ever said, ‘Whoever kills someone can have his effects,’ on any other day than the day of Hunayn.”
    Muslim :: Book 9 : Hadith 3569
    Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Sa’d b. ‘Ubada al-Ansari said: Messenger of Allah, tell the if a man finds his wife with another person, should he kill him? Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: No. Sa’d said: Why not? I swear by Him Who has honoured you with Truth. There upon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Listen to what your chief says.
    Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 82 :: Hadith 829
    Narrated Al-Mughira:
    Sa’d bin Ubada said, “If I found a man with my wife, I would kill him with the sharp side of my sword.” When the Prophet heard that he said, “Do you wonder at Sa’d’s sense of ghira (self-respect)? Verily, I have more sense of ghira than Sa’d, and Allah has more sense of ghira than I.”
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 93 :: Hadith 512
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 89 :: Hadith 279
    Muslim :: Book 9 : Hadith 3553, 3569, 3571
    Bukhari :: Book 7 :: Volume 63 :: Hadith 228,229

      “Protected”.

      Yeah, suuuure: like under the Mafia.

      Islam is a protection racket. The dhimma system is a viciously-oppressive protection racket that humiliates, exploits and degrades the dhimmis…who are NEVER, NEVER, NEVER really safe from Muslim aggression and abuse, anyway.

      So buzz off and stop talking sh*t.

      I’ve read the nasty Pact, or Conditions, of Omar. There is no way I would *ever* want to have to live under those Conditions. Don’t even *try* to ‘invite’ any modern human being to live like that.

      If you think the dhimma system was so great then here’s an idea: let’s see *you* offering to live, as a Muslim in a non-Muslim land, under *exactly* the same sorts of conditions as non-Muslim dhimmis lived in Muslim lands, for wretched centuries.

      No new mosques. No repairing of existing ones. People can barge into your mosque or your *house* anytime they like.

      No public display of quran. No audible recitation of quran where non-Muslim can hear you.

      No right to bear arms; and not allowed to hit any non-Muslim even if they’ve just jumped you in the street and bashed you up (oh, and if they meet you in the street they can shove you aside into the gutter – “push them to the narrowest part of the street”.

      In court, your testimony against a non-Muslim’s is worthless.

      And every year, in order to buy your life for one more miserable year, you get to crawl on hands and knees and hand over an enormous – a crippling – sum of “protection money” to your overlords, while they spit at you and laugh at you and manhandle you and slap you *hard* on the back of the neck, pretending to behead you.

      Still think the dhimma was so *wonderful*? Put yourself for one minute in the dhimmi’s shoes and get a clue, you cold-hearted selfish sadistic b*st*rd.

      Because the dhimma was not about “protection”. It was about SOUL-KILLING. The whole system was set up to *kill the soul* of the dhimmi. To reduce him or her to a state of abject submission, like a beaten dog.

      And you have the *hide* to try to pretend that that sadistic system was something *good*. Or, even worse, you think that it *was* good.

      You make me want to throw up.

    I DON’T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC ABOUT SPENCER & GANGS SILENCE LAST 4 MONTH AGO ISRAEL TERRORIST KILLED ABOUT 3000+ PEOPLE MOST OF THEM R CHILDREN & WOMEN,CIVILIAN…….

    More than 400 children have already paid a deadly price in Gaza. Lives have been torn apart by explosions; hospitals and schools have been hit; entire families wiped out. – See more at: http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/donate/actions/gaza-and-israel-conflict-stop-killing-children#sthash.hiN8iC72.dpuf

    The U.N. says 7 in 10 Palestinians killed in Gaza were civilians.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/the-un-says-7-in-10-palestinians-killed-in-gaza-were-civilians-israel-disagrees/2014/08/29/44edc598-2faa-11e4-9b98-848790384093_story.html

    The war in Gaza will now continue in a battle between databases to determine who was killed and why.

    The most contested number, the one that attracts the most stubborn insistence and ferocious rebuttal, is not the total fatalities on the Palestinian side, the more than 2,100 dead in the Gaza hostilities.

    The controversy centers instead on the ratio of civilians to combatants, or as the Israelis call them “terrorist operatives.”

      Had the Hamas’ pigs stopped hiding behind children, crawled out of hospitals, schools and mosques the number of gaza civilian casualties would have dropped to practically zero while that of Hamas would triple.

        A friend just called suggesting a correction.
        here it is:
        “…the number of gaza civilian casualties would have dropped to practically zero while Hamas would have ceased to exist.”

    I totally agree Michael. The Arab barbarians usurped these lands 1380 years ago. It was never theirs. Their claim to the Temple Mount is contemptible! Scammers, liars and unashamed murderers- all of them!

    The Turkish president claims the muslims discovered America 300 yrs before Columbus. Now they can claim America to themselves, just as they have claimed many of the Jewish holy grounds to their satanic cult.

    “First, in 570 CE, when the Prophet Mohammad was born, the Jews and Judaism were on the way to oblivion.”

    First it was not “Prophet Muhammad”, but “Islam’s Prophet Muhammad” – otherwise referred by the Jews as “HaMeshuga”, or Madman in English.

    The Judaism and Jews were on “the way to oblivion”?

    Judaism is never on the way to oblivion as long as there are Jews and, yes, as long as there is Christianity. There has never been Christianity without Judaism. Anybody who has read the Christian Bible can see it is essentially about Judaism and Jews. But it is true the Jews did come perilously close to “oblivion” a few times. One of these occasions was once the “prophet” Muhammad started enthusiastic Jew slaughtering and finally exiling them from the Arab peninsula where they have lived for centuries. As for the rest of your screed it is a pile of old worn out lies. I read Maimonides’ lamenting the cruel, humiliating unbearable for spirit and body life of Jews under Muhammedan yoke especiallyin islamic Spain and then I read your long rant about the Golden Age of Judaism under Islam. Well, obviously one of you is lying and I have no problem concluding it is you.

      Quit lying, Mohammedan.

      I have read Bat Yeor, “The Dhimmi: Jews and Christans Under Islam”.

      I have read a sufficient summary of David Littman’s “Exile in the Maghreb”.

      I have read Andrew Bostom, “The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism”; it reads like a slow-motion shoah.

      I know, too, of Martin Gilbert’s “In Ishmael’s House”.

      Despite your claims that Jews had it better under Muslims than under Christians, the reality is that by 1900 there were many, many many more Jews alive in Christian-majority lands than in lands controlled by Islam. And even *after* Hitler invented Nazism as a cheap knock-off of Islam and – inspired at least in part by the Muslim genocide of the Armenian Christians, and eagerly egged on by Muslims such as the Mufti – murdered millions of Jews, there were *still* more Jews alive within the secular nations to which “Christendom” had given birth, than there were alive within all the lands dominated by Islam.

    Right on, Muke! Although Jews worldwide have integrated well within Christian cultures, and they’ve done their best to forgive their past anti-Semitism, the list of which is long and aberrant to the soul, this will never erase the lasting memory of those sins.
    Same with islam. We lived it then, we live it now.

      “We lived it then, we live it now.”

      And, ultimately, will outlive it.

    I don’t get it.

    Whenever some Moslem commits an act of terror in the US, the UK, France or other western country, the political leaders are quick to assure us that this has nothing to do with Islam and warn us against a backlash.

    Now here’s this guy Netanyahu talking about responding with a harsh hand!!??

    What is he, some kind of Islamophobe?

    The homes of these islamical terrorists did not carry out the attacks! The IDF
    must not fall into the US/.UK “rules of engagement” garbage. The houses should have been destroyed, but with their occupants!

    I repeat — the buildings did not carry out the attack!
