When will “Enough” be Enough?

by Steven Shamrak

Three Jews were murdered in an attack in the city of Elad when Israel celebrated its Day of Independence.

One of the victims is Yonatan Havakuk, a father of five children and a well-known figure in the city.

The second victim has been identified as Boaz Gol, a resident of Elad in his 40s, and also a father of five children.

The third victim is Oren Ben Yiftach, 35, a resident of the city of Lod and a father of six.

Three people were seriously injured in the attack.

It is written in Torah: "When the Lord, your God, brings you into the land to which you are coming to possess it, He will cast away many nations from before you... And the Lord, your God, will deliver them to you, and you shall smite them. You shall utterly destroy them; neither shall you make a covenant with them, nor be gracious to them." Deut. 7.1-2; 20.16-18.

We do not need to “utterly destroy” our current enemies, but to remove them from the Jewish ancestral land, which they occupy.

They will never learn how to live in peace next to Jews. Their aim is to destroy Israel and clear it from Jews, by killing or removing us.

In the cities of Gaza, Khan Yunis and other towns the enemies fired into the air and distributed candies. Meanwhile, "Allahu Akbar" was shouted from the mosques as a sign of joy at the "success" of the attack.

A video from Shechem (Nablus) showed children handing out candies to passers-by in celebration of the attack.

An animated video preaching the use of an axe to murder Jews was circulated on a Palestinian Arab Telegram channel. The caption below the animated video reads: "We came to slaughter you."

Enough is enough! How many Jews must lose their lives to make leaders of Israel to understand the pain of our people, and remove the blood thirsty ‘weed’ from our land? Yes, they came to our land to slaughter Jews. It is time to kick them out!
