Within many quarters of the North American Jewish community, which in the main is “politically correct,” the notion is sustained that Israel has unmet obligations towards the Palestinian Arabs, and that eventually we must give them a state, because it is the right thing to do.
Ultimate Meaning Exists, By Avi Shafran (Jerusalem Post)
“There are two diametric ways to approach life, history and the universe. One approach perceives direction and purpose; the other regards all as the products of randomness – cold, indifferent chaos.
The latter approach is the essence of Amalekism.”
Excerpts:
The thesis that is the Jewish nation has an antithesis: Amalek. And just as the Jewish people is defined by its Torah, so is its polar opposite associated with a particular system of thought and attitude.

“What makes Israel’s refusal truly absurd… is the foreign relations dimension of the case. Standard foreign policy goals usually include trying to make other countries into friends rather than enemies. But this requires demonstrating that friendship pays better dividends than enmity: If the reverse were true, any rational country would prefer enmity.”
Israelis Who Aided Suicide Bomber Convicted of Murder
Full Text;
In a landmark ruling, the Tel Aviv District Court convicted three Israelis of murder who drove a suicide bomber on his way to carry out a terror attack in Netanya on July 12, 2005.
The attack at the Sharon mall left five people dead and 30 wounded.
Kfir Levi, 26, from Ramat Gan, Sif Azam, 35, from Taibeh and Abed Abu-Mouch, 26, from Baka al-Gharbiya each received NIS 1,000 for driving the terrorist to his destination.
The judges said in their ruling that the plaintiffs had “shut their eyes” to things that should have aroused their suspicion, such as the large bag the terrorist was carrying, and the fact that he did not speak for the length of the journey.
