I've Been Thinking:
This is about a stark contrast in societies and in characters.
Dafna Meir, a young Jewish mother of six, was brutally murdered by a 15 year old Palestinian boy.
Dafna was stabbed in the head, in front of her house, as she painted the trim on her front door. The terrorist struck her so brutally, he could not retrieve the knife from her skull. Robbed of the ability to also murder the children who were in the house, he fled.
The family, friends and the nation of Israel is in morning.
Natan her husband said this: "We have no anger."
"I am not angry at anyone. We do not curse Arabs. We are not people who hate. That's not how Dafna and I educated the kids. I spoke with the children yesterday and didn't hear a single bad thing. I talked to them about what we will do now. It's not simple."
When Palestinian terrorists are killed, even when suicide bombers blow themselves up, their families celebrate the suicide/death and the murders. Mothers say that they wish all their children would become martyrs. Some say they will have more children and raise them, too, to become martyrs.
Natan and his family are heroes, they are giants, they are an example of strength and humanity in the face of unspeakable tragedy.
And the world calls Israelis "oppressors."
