This Ongoing War..
03 February '13..
We tried, and failed, in October 2011 to arouse public outrage here and abroad at the incomprehensible decision by the government of Israel to surrender to Hamas demands and to free 1,027 terrorists. More than 800 of them (by our calculations, some 79.3% of the total) were behind bars for shooting or hurling explosives at human beings, or injuring or murdering or attempting to murder them.
We said then, and before and after, that we ordinary Israelis will find ourselves eventually having to pay an unbearably heavy price for the foolishness of the decision to open the doors of Israel's prisons and to release a vast horde of unrepentant killers and would-be killers of Jewish children.
But, as we said, our words fell on far too many deaf ears, particularly in the circle of decision makers here in the nation's capital.
Now please think back to June 1, 2001. A warm Friday night in Tel Aviv. A disco on the premises of a beachfront structure known as the Dolphinarium. A young Palestinian Arab terrorist, carrying a bomb and on a mission inspired by a religious leadership, merges with the crowd of mainly Russian-speaking youngsters, most of them recent immigrants to Israel. On orders from his Hamas masters, he explodes: 21 of the young people are killed, 132 injured. Families and futures shattered. Lives irreparably demolished.
