Agudath Israel of America joins Jews and civilized people the world over in anguish and agony over the news of the vicious murders of the three boys kidnapped on June 12, Naftali Fraenkel Gil-ad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, Hy”d.
This horrific act is, in the end, not a crime against Israel or Jews alone, but against humanity – in both senses of the word. It bespeaks the deepest and most revolting inhumanity imaginable, the seizing of innocent, idealistic young people and the casual snuffing out of their lives and futures.
Hamas and its allies, which now include the Palestinian Authority, are ultimately responsible for these premeditated, heinous murders. The hatred and incitement that have characterized so much of the campaign to establish a new Arab state alongside Israel are what have yielded these young lifeless bodies, and all the death and destruction born of Arab terrorism over the years.
There are those who believe that all people are, deep down, good. Hamas and its friends, along with other terrorist groups and rogue nations like Iran, give the lie to that lovely but naïve fantasy.
It is our hope that the nations of the free world and their leaders fully confront that fact and comprehend its implications. [TLS]
Hashem Yishmoreinu Viyinachmeinu BiGeulah Shleima.
May The A-mighty watch us and comfort us with a speedy Redemption.
finally someone has put to rest the idea that there is some good in everyone——we have seen the wanton destruction of three innocent lives–and there is absolutely no goodness in the rashas that have done this horrific deed– may our tears reach the heavens —and may the those who celebrate with candies be punished for eternity
bde the families should know of no more sorrows2
