A few years ago Pamela Geller and I were roundly criticized for putting up ads that read: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad.” How dare we call “Palestinian” jihadis savages, we were told, as if those jihadis were misunderstood humanitarians, which is indeed part of Leftist mythology today. But when so many “Palestinians” continue to act in a savage manner, those “Palestinians” have earned the word.
How sick and vile is this?

“Horrific details of soldier’s murder emerge as thousands attend funeral,” by Yoav Zitun, Ynet News, August 8, 2019:
Sources in Israeli military said Thursday the murder of 18-year-old soldier Dvir Sorek in the West Bank was unlikely to have been a failed kidnapping attempt as was estimated earlier. Meanwhile thousands gathered for the funeral of the slain teen in the settlement where he lived.
Sorek’s body was found with multiple stab wounds in the early hours of the morning on the side of a road near the seminary where he studied as part of a program which combines Torah studies with military service. Army spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said that the soldier was neither armed nor in uniform when his body was found, adding the military was searching for the suspects.
The incident took place as Sorek was making his way from the square near the entrance to the settlement of Efrat to the nearby settlement of Migdal Oz. The attackers are believed to have followed the victim in a vehicle before stabbing the soldier and fleeing the scene. The teen’s dead body was discovered by IDF troops only six hours after the incident…
