A friend posted the following on his Facebook wall:
Four years ago today, two Palestinian Arab murderers entered a synagogue
during morning prayers in Har Nof, and brutally slaughtered the praying
congregants with axes, knives, and a gun. They killed praying Jews and one heroic police officer, a Druze, who died taking down the terrorists.
Some tend to describe nationalistic killings of
Israelis that are carried out by Palestinians as anti-Jewish acts. This serves
to instil the feeling that we have a phenomenon akin to Antisemitic pogroms of
the Christian kind. This is both wrong and misleading.
Murder is terrible, whether brutal or not. It is even terrible
when those who have drones at their disposal carry it out from the luxury of their
comfortable faraway operation centres.
There are Palestinians who use murder in their fight against
Israel and against the occupation their land. This is unpardonable, but we
should not confuse the issues: This is not about killing Jews in their
Synagogues but about fighting occupation. Deplorable but not Antisemitic.
