Yitzhak and Talia Iames, Beit Hagai residents and parents of 6, were brutally murdered on Tuesday evening along with two passengers in their car, one of whom was a 37 year old pregnant woman.
Their car was sprayed with gunfire from a passing car. When their vehicle stopped, the Arabs stopped, pulled them out of the car and shot them at close range.
In an added insult, Assistant Secretary Philip J. (P.J.) Crowley spoke of spoke of "external players", saying that they are "trying to influence the [peace] process".
How many times have versions of this excuse for the barbarous behavior of Arabs in Israel been made following bloody, murderous hate crimes of terror against innocent Jews?
Israel awaits the response from Prime Minister Netanyahu who is at this moment sitting in Washington with Obama having his arm twisted in the most undiplomatic of ways by one of the most unfriendly US presidents since the creation of the State of Israel.
Meanwhile, Yesha leadership has unified in a call for every Yesha community whose building plans are developed enough to do so to go forward with full strength immediately. Yesha will not wait for further word about the undemocratic building freeze to be over. The date has passed. The Zionist answer to Arab terror has always been and continues to be the positive growth of the Jewish presence in every inch of the Jewish Homeland.
Today, Wednesday, at 6 p.m. Israel time, building will begin in earnest in at least three locations:
Kedumim
Adam
Beit Hagai
Naftali Bennet, Director General of The Yesha Council, put it best when he said that "they murder and we build. We each do what we do best."
In response to the atrocity committed yesterday by Israel's so-called peace partners, building will renew in Yesha today, Wednesday, September 1st.
At 6 p.m. building will begin in Kedumim and Adam.
As a result of the lengthy funeral in Beit Hagai for the four Jews murdered by Arab gunfire, renewed building has been put off there until tomorrow.
In this last week of the Jewish year, Yesha residents, proud Israelis and Israel supporters around the world look forward to a year of development, growth and spiritual prosperity in Yesha and every community in Israel as the Zionist imperative and the answer to the hate crime of terror wherever it strikes.
Speaking at the funeral of the four Israeli settlers who were killed in Tuesday's shooting attack, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said, "Our response to terror will be a new construction push – a proper Zionist response."
"Terror has no green line, and there is no difference between Beit Hagai (settlement in which victims resided) and Beit Yehoshua," he added.
