Leading Rabbi: War, Not Music Concerts, Will Save Kidnapped Boys. He Who is Compassionate to the Cruel will Ultimately Become Cruel to the Compassionate.

bs"d

Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu and Members of the Knesset amv"sh


 "He Who is Compassionate to the Cruel Will Ultimately Become Cruel to the Compassionate" Contemporary Lessons from an Ancient Midrash by Eliav Shochetman This paper was published as ACPR's Policy Paper No. 124 (2001).  



The Rosh Yeshiva of the Beit El Yeshiva, Rabbi Zalman Melamed, urged the public to set up a protest in front of the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv Sunday to call for a tougher crackdown against Hamas. 

Leading Rabbi: War, Not Music Concerts, Will Save Kidnapped Boys

Leading religious-Zionist rabbi says solidarity event won't help find kidnapped boys, urges protests for tougher IDF crackdown on Hamas.

I believe that Rabbi  Zalman Malamed is on the mark

What incentive currently exists for the Hamas kidnappers to free the abducted kids?  The IDF has a full scale operation in progress and weapons and hidden tunnels have been uncovered. The names of the abductors have been released. The boys still have not been found.  Is this approach tough enough? 

Will merely, rounding up terrorists and throwing them into Israeli Jail scare them? Quite the opposite. In Finance the Flames http://www.financingtheflames.com/index.php?page=60124  Edwin Black conclusively documents how millions of American taxpayer dollars are funding the salaries of specific terrorists sitting in Israeli prisons, salaries that are among the best paid jobs in the Palestinian Authority, and are calculated to increase with the level of mass murder and destruction!!!

 Besides receiving a salary, terrorist earn degrees while in jail. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/palestinians-earn-degrees-while-israeli-jail.  The prisoners say they have found ways of earning degrees. Issa Karake, the Palestinian minister for prisoners affairs, said the inmates were now "secretly studying" in coordination with Palestinian universities in the West Bank and Gaza.

"Education is one of the basic rights for the prisoners and when the Israelis reject this right we have to find ways to give our people the proper education they need," he said. "With education, prisoners feel they are human beings. They feel hope for their life, they benefit from the endless time in jail, they turn something negative into something positive."
Barghouti, the uprising leader, earned a doctorate from an Egyptian university in 2010, making him eligible to teach university-level courses in prison.
Barghouti was jailed 12 years ago and is serving five life terms after being convicted of involvement in the killings of four Israelis and a Greek monk. 
Terrorists and families of terrorist do not fear for their lives nor do they live in constant terror of being beheaded and dismembered.  Images of Daniel Pearl and the Fogel family are constantly on our minds. Poetic justice demands that this should be reversed and it should be on the terrorists minds......
In the past terrorists have been released and received a hero's welcome.  In Palestinian society, prisoners held by Israel are revered as heroes and freedom fighters. Those released are welcomed home with posters, parades and large feasts.
Therefore,

Let us call for harsher measures.  Stopping electricity to the Gaza Strip  http://www.jewishpress.com/cartoons/the-note/ along with stopping the salaries of terrorists http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=11822 would send a clear message that there are some real consequences for terror activities and kidnapping.

Dear Irgun Chazak in Kew Garden Hills, Queens, NY (and fellow activists) amv"sh

Yasher Koach on organizing a Press Conference and Protest Rally and raising awareness about the Kidnapped boys. Heartfelt Tefilla is of course our greatest weapon and this needs to be coupled with Hishtadlus as well.  Let us take our cue from the thesis by Eliav Shochetman linked above and from Rabbi Melamed when delivering the message. Kol Tuv.

Fatah Peaceful and Jewish Youth terrorists? Depending on Fatah to help find Kidnapped boys?

bs"d

Fatah Peaceful and Hamas Terrorist?  Jewish Youth called terrorists? 

Hamas Indoctrinates Palestinian Youth after Kidnapping Published on: June 22, 2014

Look at this cute picture, photographed today on the Temple Mt., sponsored by Israel's police department.
These sweet 'Palestinian' children and their teachers are celebrating the abduction of our children, holding up their three fingers in what has become the viral sign of joy at the kidnapping. For this abomination alone Internal Security Aharonovitch should be fired! 

Aharonovitch: Price tag suspects are terrorists, use administrative detention against them By BEN HARTMAN, TOVAH LAZAROFF 05/07/2014 http://www.jpost.com/National-News/Aharonovich-Price-tag-suspects-are-terrorists-use-administrative-detentions-against-them-351538

Security Minister Admits Police Criticism Justified.  
Aharonovich visits yeshiva of kidnapped teens, says recording of ignored emergency call will be published.

My comments: Perhaps now,  Security Minister Aharonovitch  understands the fundamental difference with alleged Jewish "Price Tag Youth Suspects" who are barely identified supposedly coming from Judea and Samaria and real terrorists who kidnap youth. Apparently the police were confused by Aharonovitches previous statements and mistakenly diverted their resources to targeting the wrong population. As a result, real cries for help from Jewish youth were ignored and mistaken as "pranks" while real terrorists got away.  His previous instructions were...."Price Tag suspects are terrorists.  use administrative detention against them!!!

Fatah Video Threatens Israelis: Death is Near. Not to be outdone by Hamas, Mahmoud Abbas's party releases aggressive propaganda video calling for more attacks against Israelis.

My comments.There needs to be a new paradigm to address how to deal with brutality of such scale. Beheadings, (graphic, viewer discretion advised) dismembering, hangings etc their modus operandi. Suggestion, Why not take the Fogel Family murderers guilty of some of the above atrocities and treat them as they treat their victims like dismember a finger at a time and then go on to the next terrorist with blood on their hands until the the 3 boys are released.  Hopefully that will stop their celebrations...and hate education and finger raising .... Next, hold Fatah responsible for the Unity gov't and stop funding by Israel, the US, EU until the kids are freed!  Collective punishment is in order especially when there has been collective support and glorification for the kidnapping. 



Terrorists' Home Will Be Razed:At Prime Minister's orders, the home of the murderer of Baruch Mizrahi will be torn down. Leftists aghast. Mizrahi was driving to Kiryat Arba for a Passover seder meal with his pregnant wife and three of his children when the terrorist opened fire onthe family car. He had served as head of the Technology Division in the Sigint Unit, part of the Intelligence Brigade in the Investigations and Intelligence Branch of the police.

Interesting that this punishment is not reserved for terrorists alone. For Jews though the crime is Iack of proper permits.  
Ma'ale Rehavam outpost buildings razed, 4 arrested
Illegal structures in Givat Asaf, Ramat Gilad also slated to be demolished in coming days

What happened in Ma'ale Rechavam on the day Adam and Genya were expelled with cruelty from their home and their home demolished.

THE FLAME THAT BURNS ON, SO TOO, THE SOUL ASPIRES FOR GREATNESS by Rivka Ryback Lighting a candle. Praying for a Jewish soul captured and held against its will.

bs"d

THE FLAME THAT BURNS ON, SO TOO, THE SOUL ASPIRES FOR GREATNESS by Rivka Ryback
Recently we read the Torah portion of Beha'alotecha. It is traditionally read either the first or second Shabbat after the holiday of Shavuot, the annual celebration of the renewal of God’s giving the Torah at Mount Sinai to the Jews. Therefore, there must be some connection between this portion and how we perceive ourselves after receiving the Torah.

The second verse, "when you raise up the candles," is a statement describing the essential human relationship to the Divine. In Torah terminology, a candle is a vessel that includes a wick and oil, that must be lit with a flame. Every Jewish soul is analogous to a candle, as it says in the verse, "The soul of man is G-d's candle". (Proverbs 20:27) The seven candles that lit the Menorah in the Sanctuary and the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, contained the seven levels of serving G-d: chesed - love of G-d; gevura - awe and fear of G-d; tiferet - beauty, the realization of G-d's great compassion towards us; netzach - eternity, overcoming any obstacle to our service; hod - glory, demanding of ourselves awe of G-d, even when we do not feel it fully in our hearts; yesod - not just feeling, but truly connecting ourselves to the emotions of love and fear; malchut – kingship, actively taking on the divine yoke with humility and subservience.

Man is a complex conglomeration of heaven and earth, spirit and matter, fire and wick. Like the light, man too, is comprised of three elements which determine the direction of his actions. The candles wick, flame and oil resemble man’s body, soul and source in the Torah and its mitzvot.
His soul, like the flame, is a flame with yearning and inspiration. It burns brightly within him, inspiring him to connect to his Creator. It desires fiercely to break the bonds of this physical world; to transcend the barriers of a material existence and unite with its Maker.

The body of man, like the wick of the candle, is both grounded and physical. With its many limitations, many real needs and desires, the body entraps and enslaves the soul within it. Yet, while imposing its restrictions, the body also houses the soul and provides an outlet for its unique expression. The soul can only feel, perceive and savor reality, through the body's senses; it can only move about freely with the body's limbs; and it can only think and analyze with the body's mind. The body's very groundedness, then, provides a means and opportunity for the soul's relationship with creation.

The lighting of a candle, as a required observance and focal point of Jewish Ritual, is perhaps the most prevalent act of Judaism. At the onset of Shabbos, Holidays and during times of remembrance, the igniting of a candle has served to be an  "Eternal Light for the Jewish People.

In praying for a Jewish soul captured and held against its will, lighting of a candle is a significant reminder. We are reminded of the all too temporal bond between body and soul. This same metaphor of the flame of a candle does, however, contain a great life -affirming lesson for us all. Though we cannot see the person in question, we pray for their safe return and well being until such time we are, B”H, are together again.

The flame of a single candle can, when touched to another candle, have the essential ability to ignite the wick of the next candle; this newly lit candle can now go on to light the next candle - and so on, ad infinitum, striving to achieve the likeness of the infinite qualities of HaShem. At a time of distress, time of the most indescribable angst and fear possible, one can find tremendous spiritual strength in the knowledge, that just like we hope and pray for the safe return of our captured loved ones, they too, continue to reach out to us to help lift up our soul.


May the world be filled with the light of the good deeds of the Jewish People; speedily usher in the long awaited time of the full revelation of our redemption: as it is said, “May death disappear forever, and may Eternal G-d wipe the tears from every face!"

Electricity and civilian poplations in time of war
Rabbi Elchanan Lewis
Question:
Please share halachic insights as to what extent a jewish army can effect the daily lives of a civilian populaton in times of war. If a jewish army is at war, can it turn off the electricity to a civilian population (by either not supplying electicity, or by disabling the use of tranformers or power stations) to an area where in addition to an innocent population, there are military installations of the people who the jewish army is at war with. By turning off or disrupting the electric supply it may effect civilian hospitals and sanitation facilities

Answer:
Laws of war are complex and depend on many factors some of which can be only assessed in the battlefield and some of which are only in the hands of the greatest of rabbis.
In general, during the war, the life of our enemy (even the civilians) is worth less that life of our people; how much more so, the convenience and comfort of our enemy is worth less than the lives of our soldiers and civilians.
Therefore if to save lives of, or to remove a risk from our soldiers, you will be allowed to cut off electricity from women and children etc. in some cases even risking lives of civilians during war will be permitted for the sake of defending Jewish lives, in some extreme cases even collectively punishing the civil population will be permitted.
(Amud Hayemini 16, Tchumin 12 pp. 237-239, ibid 5 p. 353)

More on Bring Back Our Boys - Hardline approach in answer to denial and International lack of condemnation of Kidnapping, and condemnation of IDF search


bs"d

Our enemies have intensified their smear campaign against Israel.   Is Israel being overly aggressive as the Palestinians and International media claim? Or is the opposite true?  Israel has failed to assert, defend and protect what is ours and meant to be ours, and to stand up for Torah and our Eternal Covenant between G-d and the Jewish People!

In the past, Israel and by extension, the IDF has accepted the 2 State Solution in principle and acted with misplaced compassion on our enemy to prevent "civilian" casualties at the expense of our own soldiers and defense . This is done in spite of the enemy hiding behind schools, medical centers and human shields.  By being merciful to the cruel we end up compromising the security of our own children and citizens.   Israel is then vilified and accused of fabricated, monstrous atrocities and war crimes.  Remember Jenin OPERATION DEFENSIVE SHIELD AND THE MYTH OF THE JENIN MASSACRE and Goldstone Report following Operation Cast Lead.  

When we are overly concerned with how the world judges us as opposed to doing the right thing, G-d then repays us in kind and the world condemns us and sees us in a negative light. When we show resolve to address terror, the entire world is a safer place.

Therefore, let us trying a different approach!

  • Annex Judea and Samaria. Accept Levy Report.   
  • Build in Judea and Samaria instead of  slowdown of building in Judea and Samaria.  
  • Call for Collective Punishment on Palestinians.  
  • Throw out Arab Knesset MK's and deny voting rights to those that do not accept Israel Sovereignty
  • Stop arresting, provoking and vilification of Settler Youth of Judea and Samaria who witness settler homes cruelly demolished, their Yeshiva taken over and their friends kidnapped.
  • Hitchiking Should it continue in Judea and Samaria? There are those who believe that we can't stop living.  (Of course we need to take proper precautions. Robin)
Call for Collective Punishment on Palestinians.  Palestinians are defending, celebrating, being entertained by, and denying the abductions of the boys while condemning Israel's rescue efforts
  • Rabbi Ronsky: Nothing Wrong With Collective Punishment. Former IDF Chief Rabbi Avihai Ronsky believes that Israel must hit Palestinians hard - collectively - in order to free the kidnapped teens http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/182028#.U6cGgvldXOg
  • Rabbi Elchanan Lewis:Electricity and civilian populations in time of war In general, during the war, the life of our enemy (even the civilians) is worth less that life of our people; how much more so, the convenience and comfort of our enemy is worth less than the lives of our soldiers and civilians. Therefore if to save lives of, or to remove a risk from our soldiers, you will be allowed to cut off electricity from women and children etc. in some cases even risking lives of civilians during war will be permitted for the sake of defending Jewish lives, in some extreme cases even collectively punishing the civil population will be permitted. (Amud Hayemini 16, Tchumin 12 pp. 237-239, ibid 5 p. 353)http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/06/fwd-electricity-and-civilian-poplations.html

Stop arresting, provoking and vilification of Settler Youth of Judea and Samaria who witness homes cruelly demolished, their Yeshiva taken over and friends kidnapped.

Open Letter to Jihad Watch. 3 kidnapped boys. Knowing about Islam what would you suggest would be the best approach

bs"d

Dear Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, amv"sh

I am a blogger and Israel activist. My blog is Shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com

When the boys were kidnapped I asked myself what would be Israel's best response.  There have been many failed kidnapping attempts and this one did not come as a surprise.

Being an activist I am very familiar with the truth about the barbaric ways terrorists treat their victims and treat their own people.  The massacre of the Fogel family in Itamar, the lynching of Israeli soldiers who made a wrong turn, Chabad terror attack in Mumbai and even the way they handle their women for infractions under Sharia law and reading horrible reports and watching videos opened my mind to the reality of whom we are dealing with.  This uncomfortable knowledge is reported by many including Jamie Glazov of Frontpage http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4498782/robert-spencer-wed-club and yourself  http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/05/90-of-abducted-nigerian-schoolgirls-are-christians-jihadists-released-muslim-girls#.

With this understanding of the mentality of our enemy who are subhuman, I have come to the conclusion that normal ways of dealing with terrorists to "convince" them not to  harm those kidnapped is at best useless and probably counterproductive.   In other words, nothing we do or say will work if they chose to act brutal... We are counting on their desire to free more terrorists...But that only breeds more terror.... What to do?.

We need to communicate to them in their own language, in the language they understand!

Acting with restraint, turning to  Shimon Peres, Abbas as per Herzog's advice,  Obama, and the State Dept. are all perceived as signs of weakness since we are depending on the wolf, the kidnappers' collaborators and supporters,  to help protect the sheep. 

Unfortunately, this has been Israel's approach coupled with a show of strength, IDF soldiers rounding up of Hamas operatives. At the moment, Abbas is now engaged in media slander campaign against Israel which surely will be taken up by enemies of Israel by international media and leftists.  

History has shown us that the times we were most careful to be politically correct and tried our hardest to please those condemning Israel rather than asserting our rights to the Land, at the expense of defending our own people were the times we were most vilified and falsely accused of International war crimes. (Jenin etc.). When we acted with moral fortitude and asserted our rights to defend our Land and our people, condemnation was actually less intense and dissipated over tune.. . 

An effective fighting strategy on their part is to preempt and accuse the IDF and Israel of atrocities and War crimes before any real evidence. This serves to prevent Israel and the IDF from properly acting in self defense and within acceptable warfare protocol, scared that we will be vilified internationally.

To counter the PR campaign against us, we need to conduct a massive PR campaign on our behalf exposing their atrocities against Israel, atrocities against their own people, the atrocities they inflict upon those they consider infidels, and their war crimes using children as human shields, barbarity etc. 

PMW Bulletins
Abbas defends PA search for teens; 
PA daily writes Israel may be behind kidnapping  http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=11754  


While reports of destroying Hamas infrastructure is heartening, rounding up Hamas terrorists is not enough.  Being in Israeli prison is rewarding financially.  How are conditions in Israeli jail for the terrorists?  I don't believe they are afraid of being tortured or afraid of their lives like we fear what might be happening to the boys Hashem Yerachem.  They receive nice salaries, from taxpayer monies coming from the US and EU, whereby the greater the crime the higher salary they receive. (Edwin Black Financing the Flames) In addition,  Israel has released many terrorists irregardless of their life sentencing. Upon release they all received a heroes welcome. They all seemed well fed.  

We can threaten them, but will they take our threats seriously?  

Unless the terrorists see clearly, that there is a price to be paid for their acts of terror there is nothing motivating them to release the captives unharmed other than another Gilad Shalit deal,

I am convinced that Abbas is taking full advantage of the situation and even if he succeeds in finding and freeing the kidnapped boys, he will use it to his fullest advantage and be hailed as a peace loving moderate whose only concerns lie for the unfortunate Palestinians living under " Israel Occupation".  Even if Israel does not agree to his terms and demands, he will receive international respect and recognition.  These boys and their families after all were studying in what is considered the "occupied West Bank" and the boys and their families identify with the "occupation".  So Abbas, "out of concern and humanity"  "cooperates with Israel" to help find the boys.  How laudable.. 

You and I know that it's all deception and his desire is to destroy Israel no different than Hamas!  

"Do we have a choice?" we sigh. 

Yes we DO!!

First and foremost, Israel should annex all of Judea and Samaria and demand that all non Jewish residents declare loyalty to Israel and abide by the Seven Noahide laws. Let us be proud to proclaim the Biblical boundaries of Israel. By all accounts, Judea and Samaria fall within the Biblical boundaries and all of our Holy sites fall within these boundaries.  See Parshat Masei and the extended boundaries mentioned to Abraham at Brit Bein Habesarim. Judea and Samaria and land conquered in six days, with G-d's open miracles, in 1967, after being attacked, should be annexed.  Our rights to Israel as a Jewish Homeland has been recognized and  accepted in International Law at San Remo, the League of Nations and later adopted by the UN.   Let those in Israel, Palestinians or other, who object to Israel's existence and Sovereignty,  move and  take residence in any of the neighboring 22 Arab countries etc where surely they will feel more at home among their own tribes.  . 

It makes sense to me, that we need to talk to them in the language they understand.  They will bring false allegations and accusations of atrocities and war crimes against Israel when we show weakness not when we show strength.  When we show strength, their accusations will dissipate because there is a G-d and truth in the world. 

In any case, we must brace ourselves for international condemnation since it is inevitable and passes. 

 I believe the only way to impress them to stop them from behaving in the barbaric fashion, which is their modus operandi is to show them that we are capable of doing to them precisely what they are contemplating for us.

We need to have a full scale PR blitz as per their modus operandi.  Websites like Jihad Watch and Frontpage and PMW are already in place with the necessary material. Let Israel rain down this material upon them and upon International media.  Pictures of Daniel Pearl, the Fogel family needs to flood the media and our intention to treat them in kind if they do not release our boys .........

Let me many suggest that there are those who believe that Israel would be justified to take murderers with blood on their hands, like the murderers of the Fogel massacre, have them publicly displayed on Arab television, and threaten to amputate and dismember, a finger at a time etc.  at set intervals until they release the kids measure for measure.... Obviously, this kind of barbaric  approach, morally is justified on known terrorists who behaved in a similar fashion to others in order to show we mean business. 

Of course, it can be debated that this approach will cause an unnecessary provocation.  

Surely executing terrorists with blood on their hands seem to be justified from a secular and religious perspective. 

Torturing them is not what Jews do and extremely distasteful and goes against our very grain.  It is a worthy research project to see precedent in Tanach for such action. Is there any precedent with the way Moshe Rabbeinu, Yehoshua and Dovid Hamelech fought against our enemies?

In the Torah, someone who accidentally kills another Jew has to run away to an Ir Miklat, a safe haven, in order to save himself from the wrath of the Goel Hadam, the victim's relative who will be after him.  This is for an accidental killing.  If a Jew murders another Jew purposefully, then there is a death penalty requirement.  Al Achat Kama VeKama, even more so,  for an Islamic terrorist who is cruel and who has committed the worst atrocities imaginable. 

Justice demands that we show no mercy.  Torah tells us that when we fight Amalek, and the Canaanite Nations, not to be afraid to destroy them.  


Collective punishment on Fatah and Hamas community for the purpose of exerting pressure on the kidnappers to release the boys alive and unharmed is justified. News reports are that Palestinians hindered the IDF's efforts to find the terrorists and they celebrated the kidnapping.  Let Israel withhold taxes, monies to the PA who joined with Hamas, and lobby Congress to stop taxpayer monies to the PA. Why can't Israel temporarily shut down their electricity? If that doesn't work, a temporary blocking of their food and water supplies, and medical treatment for those who do not recognize Israel's Sovereignty and right to exist etc. Why should they benefit from the hand that feeds them and whom they wish to destroy?  This must be accompanied with a warning that if any harm is inflicted on the kidnapped victims, they should expect the worst and we must be prepared to act on our threat!

When  this hard line approach is presented to people there is consensus that this is what barbarian terrorists deserve.  (That what they schemed to do to us should happen to them)  but many are terrified that the terrorists response to a hard line approach would be to harm the boys. Normally that would be a reasonable assumption, concern and expectation. In this case,  I personally believe that weakness on our part will cause them to respond with cruelty on their victims rather than the hard line approach. ..  My prayer is that in merit of asserting  Biblical truths and our rights to Eretz Yisroel, and thereby make a Kiddush Hashem,  it would terrorize the terrorists.  They will be seized with fear of G-d and with G-d's help, release the boys unharmed swiftly.....  

And we must continue with our prayer rallies since only G-d is the true source of salvation....

I am curious to know what you think.

Thanks. Robin Ticker

Was one of the masterminds of the Munich massacre that slaughtered the Israeli Olympic athletes.
Wrote a Phd thesis and book denying the Holocaust. (I know, I know, Rabbi Schneier, because of your diplomatic 
    skills he's "changed his mind")

Named his son after Yasser Arafat. 
Named Rafah crossing after terrorist Al-Moayed Bihokmillah Al-Aqha, who slaughtered 5 Israelis.
Has praised Hizballah, saying that it is a source of pride.

Has said of Palestinian Arab terrorists that "Israel calls them terrorists, we call them strugglers".
Has said of them that "Allah loves the martyr".
Heads the Fatah Party, whose Charter calls for Israel's destruction.
Has called Israel "the Zionist enemy."
Dedicated his ascendancy to President of the PA to Yasser Arafat, proclaimed that "the little jihad ha ended and the   
   big jihad is now beginning."  (not exactly my idea of a peace partner!)
In 2005 approved a law authorizing lump-xum payments to surviving family members of "shahids" (including suicide
    bombers).
In 2007 stated: "We must unite the Hamas and Fatah blood in the struggle against Israel as we did at the beginning 
    of the Intifada."
In 2010, eulogized Abu Daoud, mastermind of the Munich massacre: "He (Abu Daoud) will be missed.  He was one 
    of the leading figures of Fatah and spent his life in resistance and sincere work as well as physical sacrifice for   
    his people's just causes."
In March 2013, told Russia Today TV: "As far as I'm concerned, there is no difference between the policies of the 
    Palestinian Authority and Hamas."

I also think  Israel should throw out certain Arab MK's  like Zoabi and  Sarsour from the Knesset.  Why are they in the Knesset to begin with???  Robin....




The fact that Gilad Shalit was returned alive is hopeful but what was his experience initially?  

Perhaps it can be argued that a hard line approach would have rescued him and saved him years in captivity. Was he tortured initially?  Also, the outcome of Nachshon Wachsman abduction is disheartening and Israel seems to be taking a similar approach now.  

Hashem Oz Leamo Yiten. Hashem Yevarech es Amo Bashalom.  Hashem should give Israel strength and fortitude and Belief in G-d our Only Salvation.

Yekutiel ben Yaakov : Israeli Dog Unit. Maginei Eretz LMaan Hazulat Extreme delay in police response to missing people reports


Re Kidnapped Jewish Teens and this week's training exercises

Canine training this week tomorrow in Beth Shemesh at 3 PM, Tapuach at 6 PM, Leshem at 9.30 PM

Thursday special SAR training on rubble sight at 7 PM

Pray for the kidnapped teens-

There is unprecedented unity in Israel as millions pray for the immediate release and safety of the three Jewish teens who were abducted by Arab terrorists from Gush Etzyon.

There are many lessons to learn from this incident. As long as we allow our enemies to live amongst us they will continue to plot against us. The IDF continues to blame police for their inexcusable late response, only many hours, after they received notice from one of the boys that he was kidnapped. The police actually received notification minutes after the abduction. However, the GSS and IDF were only tipped off by police many crucial hours later.

We warned the Knesset State Controller's Committee, 4 months ago, Feb. 18th when I was asked to testify before a special Committee convened to investigate police treatment of missing people searches. My first words to the Committee were about the extreme delay in police response to missing people reports and how the police commence searching far too late, losing vital and critical time that could translate into life or death for the missing subject.  See page 5 of that Knesset Committee transcript:
http://www.knesset.gov.il/protocols/data/rtf/bikoret/2014-02-18.rtf

We have offered our services to the Commander of the Missing Persons Unit in the army and we may yet be called in to help in the search with the use of our specially trained dogs.

Our Israeli Dog Unit is in need of more volunteers and in need of finding to maintain our canine units. Maginei Eretz LMaan Hazulat - POBox 6592 Jerusalem Israel 0544876709
