Peace Now head blasts terror victim's self-defense

[shira]

Yariv Oppenheimer, leader of the Peace Now organization, condemned terror victim Yonatan Azarihab, who was wounded in a stabbing attack on Tuesday, for killing his assailant in the course of the attack.

Oppenheimer took to Twitter on Wednesday, blasting what he termed the “execution” of terrorists who were killed while carrying out violent attacks on Tuesday in Jaffa and Petach Tikva.

Oppenheimer’s comment referenced the attacks which left Taylor Force, an American tourist and US Army veteran dead and 10 others wounded in Jaffa, and the attack in Petach Tikva which left Azarihab, a haredi resident, seriously injured.

Azarihab was stabbed in the neck, but managed to remove the knife from his own body and use it to kill his attacker.

1. Mr. Azarihab

is a hero. Nothing less. Fuck peace now (what a ridiculous name for apologists for terrorists). Hope there are many, many more like Mr. Azarihab - let the terrorist scum think twice before taking out their knives.

2. Attacks are going down because the payoff isn't worth it....

a)Most stabbers are killed in action.
b)Those stabbers for the most part are NOT successful killing the Jews they target.
c) Add to that the hardship on the terrorist's family that loses its house in the process.
d) It's increasingly not worth it.
e) Thus, attacks are way down.

The Israel haters will howl, but these disincentives are saving lives on BOTH sides. In fact, saving MORE Palestinian lives than Jewish lives. But the haters will howl anyway. They don't care about Palestinian life. They hate the Jewish state. Imagine that kind of hate consuming anti-zionists 24-7-365. It's practically all those losers live for.

3. They never cared about the Palestinians

Nobody really does. They like to use them as a weapon while they continue to keep them in camps and fill their heads with dreams of having Israel all to themselves - if they would just wait a little longer. It's sickening.

Mission

Peace Now works to ensure that both Israelis and Palestinians embrace the only viable solution to the conflict: the creation of a Palestinian state in the territories adjacent to Israel, which were occupied as a result of the 1967 war – A Two State Solution.

Peace Now believes that continued occupation of these territories harms Israel economically and politically and damages the values and fabric of Israeli society.

Peace Now’s mission is to promote peace and democracy through education of the Israeli public and concerned citizens worldwide. We further hope to inspire the public to take part in developing initiatives that will both support long-term peace promotion and remove existing obstacles to a politically negotiated two-state solution.

5. Anyone with a brain knows Oppenheimer blew it on Azarihab

Criticism of this alone is not an attack on everything PeaceNow stands for.
