Batsheva Nigri was no threat to anyone, and her murder is yet another indication of how one’s most cherished beliefs and assumptions can lead one to think that doing evil and inflicting harm upon a fellow human being is a righteous act.
“Israeli woman killed, man seriously wounded in terror shooting near Hebron,” by Emanuel Fabian, Times of Israel, August 21, 2023:
An Israeli woman was shot dead and a man was seriously wounded in a terror attack close to the southern West Bank city of Hebron on Monday morning, the military and medics said.
The pair, both in their 40s, came under fire from a passing vehicle while driving on the Route 60 highway, close to the Beit Hagai junction, south of Hebron, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said the woman, initially listed in critical condition, was declared dead at the scene shortly afterward.
She was later named as Batsheva Nigri, a 42-year-old mother of three from the West Bank settlement of Beit Hagai who worked as a kindergarten teacher in nearby Efrat.
The wounded man was identified as Aryeh Leib, also in his 40s. He was rushed to Beersheba’s Soroka Hospital in serious condition but stabilized after undergoing surgery, medical officials said. Leib is a father of six who had been en route to buy books for his children.
Nigri’s 12-year-old daughter was in the car during the attack but was unharmed, MDA said.
The Nigris had been hitching a ride from Leib, who had also been heading to the Jerusalem area from the southern West Bank.
The vehicle was hit by at least 22 rounds, with another three bullet impacts found nearby, according to the military’s initial investigation….
The Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups praised the attack as a response to Israel’s expanding settlement enterprise in the West Bank, but stopped short of claiming responsibility….
Goofy says
Christians are righteous in their faith that their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ died for them.
Muslims make themselves self-righteous by spilling the blood of strangers. Still they are not promised any form of salvation, although they hope that Allah who has anyhow preordained everything, murder and rape included, will appreciate the blood letting and provide the sex slave virgins and the little boys who don’t bleed!
This is one of the many differences between Christianity and Islam.

To Goofy- No one makes himself or herself righteous by spilling the blood of other humans, at least in the eyes of the One True and Only Holy God of the Christians and Jews. The god of Islam – Allah – is not the true god. Allah is a satanic barbarian, at least in my opinion. ?
somehistory says
Goofy wrote “self-righteous”…not truly “righteous.”
Much as the Pharisees felt “self-righteous,” but Jesus called them what they were….”serpents, offspring of vipers, whitewashed graves full of dead men’s bones, and unwashed cups full of uncleanness.”
mgoldberg says
And here you show how ‘righteous’ you are, by quoting your feelings about them- as opposed to this innocent school teacher- who was murdered deliberately by muslim slaughterers. Look in the mirror.
somehistory says
The terror groups may not “claim responsibility,” but they have plenty.
They call for terror attacks, they incite terror, they praise terror. they fund terror and they commit terror.
The murder of this woman will not stop the “settlements” from expanding; it will not stop Israel from being what it is. It takes away a mom from her children….imagine how the daughter felt, seeing her mom get shot and die, and going on living, how she feels now…but it does little else in the big scheme.
the mom’s death and the child’s trauma won’t change anything for most of the world. Only their small part of it.
mozlums lust to murder in furtherance of their false religion, to spread the devil’s evil far and wide and kill as many of those they see as their enemies as possible; to cause innocent people to die horrific deaths.
Linde B. says
To somehistory- Well stated. I want to visit Israel in the near future and talk to some Muslims who live there about why their false god – Allah – likes to see
non-Muslims die. Don’t all Muslims believe that Allah created all people with free will?
somehistory says
Linde, mozlums believe that all people are born mozlum, but that infidels are people who need to “revert.” So, no free will in islam.
Bexarkat says
Also a note to keep in mind. Allah, is simply the word used in Arabic for God. Allah is or at least until Muslims objected a few years ago, used is Christian worship services as well. So, please – if you visit Israel, and I hope you do – every Christian and Jew should – talk about Mohammed, the false profit (spelling pun intended) of Islam. Just be careful when you do…it seems offending their “prophet” gets them pretty riled up.

The Jews have a koranically sanctioned right to dwell in the Holy Land
koran 5:21
koran 17:104

This terrible and tragic report is a blatant reminder that the Bible in Proverbs 28 4 informs its reader that “Those who forsake the law praise the wicked. but such a keep the law contend with them.” [N.K.J.V.]
