Re: Re: Searching the heart
by

It is so hard not to become cynical, isn't it? Think about this: The typical reaction to seeing a little girl who just lost her entire family is to ache for this poor child.
Now, think not about the reaction to seeing this child, but think about the fact that there is a news cameraman on the beach at the very time a shell blasts through the family of picnickers. Anger. Unbelievable anger. It was, for me, sorrow, just a few days ago, but now, thanks to history always repeating itself in Israel, anger. It didn't take as long as the al Dura affair for the truth to start coming out about this. While I still ache for this little girl, now, knowing that she will go through her whole life believing that Israelis did this (on purpose, of course) makes me cry out for justice on the part of the always-oft-accused: The Torah enjoins us to preserve and defend justice and righteousness. “Tzedek, tzedek tirdof”. Justice, justice shalt thou pursue. Render, O Lord Justice on behalf of these children, who are but expendable tools in the hands of your enemies, and Render, O Lord, Justice on those wrongfully accused and accursed.
