Israel, Jerusalem, Judaism, Zionism, Middle East, Aliyah, Conversion, and everything else that pops up
My friend is mostly housebound due to ongoing chemotherapy and the Covid risk. One thing she does do a lot of is podcasts in both German and English. Here is one we did the other day. You can go to her YouTube site to see more of her posts or to her blogs Shearim in English and Hamantaschen in German.
Join the conversation via comments, or watch for future podcasts and follow along...Enjoy!
The day turned black when two terrorists decided it would be a good idea to set off a dirty bomb. The details are available on Wikipedia.
In Jerusalem one often knows the victims, or, the families and friends. Two of the tragic cases I have some knowledge of.
Two other children survived with lifelong crippling injuries, They, and the remaining siblings who were not at the restaurant, suffer lives of ongoing pain and trauma.
In addition to the fifteen murdered, 130 people suffered disabling injuries. One of them, Chana Nachenberg, 31 at the time, remains in hospital on a respirator 24/7, connected to a multitude of machinery, in a vegetative state until this day. Her two year old daughter, somehow survived without a scratch. She does, however, suffer an invisible injury~living with the horror of that day, knowing her mother did not die, but in reality is gone forever, and seeing the daily strain on her father.
The vile female who scoped out the site, and delivered the terrorist with his bomb, promptly left before detonation. She was of course tracked down and jailed~where she collected her monthly "payments" for the killing Jews. When interviewed, she showed no remorse, rather, she was thrilled to learn that eight of the murdered were Jewish children.
Sadly, our government decided to free her among the thousand plus exchanged for Gilad Shalit who was held by Hamas. Many Israelis are still angered by the submission of our officials. Terrorists freed to kill again~and they have.
This vile female (may her name be erased) relocated to Jordan where she is able to spread her venom and bask in the adulation given a hero, for her participation in the attack and murder of Jews. The more dead Jews, the higher the payment...
Now, this murderer has been pleading, via a Jordanian radio station to be reunited with her "convicted terrorist" husband. Apparently Jordanian radio pulled her broadcast, but no matter! The BBC, on a program called "Trending" broadcast her situation around the world as part of their "World Service". They have given her a platform in an effort to create sympathy for her vile cause. It seems that murdering children is OK~as long as it is the "right kind of children~ie; Jews" (wink, wink).
Sometimes in life there are just no words and I have none that can be written down here. So I ask you to watch the below video and listen to the father who lost his beloved daughter. See what the BBC, who I thought to be a public funded broadcaster, thinks is appropriate to support. This is not what I consider to be "unbiased" broadcasting!
