“I send heartfelt condolences to the family…” but at the same time he reduces the IDF personnel to fight against a handful Jewish troublemakers…. – don’t accept his condolences, he’s a hypocrite!

Great Big Missed Chance of 1967, and thousands have already paid the price of keeping these olive-pickin’ ex-Jordanian cousins of ours as neighbors instead of shipping them trans-Jordan. In addition to every Jewish city over the green line beinga fortress of security fences and gaurds, circled in multi-stroried while the arab garbage dumps sprawl and sprawl
That’s Ratzon Hashem, not that this neshama should have been killed. Not a time to write BDE-of course Hashem is Dayan Emes, but the right expression is Sheim Reshaiym Yirkav of the policy-makers who ignored Chumash.
