Terror in Israel, as Rabbi and Father of 6 Killed

21

An Israeli father of six was just killed in a drive-by shooting near the West Bank in the city of Nablus.

The IDF chief took time out to visit the site of the murder:

It’s a case of terror Israel — of Jews on the frontlines in the Islamic war on the west. And it’s left six children without their fataher.

Haaretz has more:

The Israeli military said that the 35-year-old victim was driving on Route 60, the main highway in the West Bank, when his vehicle was apparently targeted by gunmen in a passing car.

Security forces are currently sweeping the area, adjacent to the Israeli outpost of Havat Gilad. The man was identified as Rabbi Raziel Shevach, a resident of the outpost.

Military roadblocks have been set up on roads leading into and out of Nablus as security forces attempt to locate the attackers.

Shevach was critically wounded in the shooting and was taken to hospital, were he was pronounced dead after resuscitation attempts failed.

Dr. Guy Elad, a doctor at the Meir Medical Center, said that Shevach “arrived at the hospital without a pulse, with no breath and no life signals. He was rushed to the trauma room, where advanced resuscitation actions were performed and unfortunately despite our efforts his death was [eventually] determined.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to the news of the shooting on Tuesday night.

“I am expressing my deep sorrow and sending condolences to the family of Raziel Shevach, who was murdered tonight by a despicable terrorist,” he stated.

“Security forces will do everything possible to reach the contemptible murderer and the State of Israel will bring him to justice,” the premier added.

Rabbi Yehoshua Gelbard, a friend of the late Rabbi Shevach who manages the yeshiva where the victim learned and taught, said that his friend was a volunteer at both Magen David Admon and part of a chevra kadisha (Jewish burial society). “Rabbi Raziel was a rare combination of a smart student and devoted to God, who was kind to everyone who surrounded him,” Rabbi Gelbard recounted.

Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, spoke in the wake of the attack and said that West Bank residents “will not give in to terror.”

“I want to make a clear statement to these cowardly murderers who shoot and flee: We are not scared, the people of Israel are alive and we will win,” Dagan added.

When are you going to get to the serious subject … the one that has placed the entire earth at risk? Yes, how moslems are responsible for ALL global climate change and 100% of all weather related disasters …. Serious discussion is needed and a solution needs to be found.

Here are links to Rabbis against Trump. There is a very long list to choose from. Amazing considering that Trump is the most pro-Israel President that we have had. I simply don’t understand the mental state of today’s Jews. Coddling your enemy never helps. Maybe Rabbis should consider that you do reap what you sow, and what they have been sowing is not good.

A majority of Jews in Israel (~60%) are center / right and largly support / appreciate / recognize Trump / Pence / Haley as THE most pro Israel administration in history, by far!

Thank God for Trump that is doing a pretty good job (in some cases a phenomenal job and this only in his first year in office!) in reversing Obama / DemocRats Diabolic treachery that put America and Israel purposely on the brink of inevitable disintegration (had Killery won the elections…), down the road

American Jewry is probably the mirror image of Israeli Jews (~60%) center / left / loony toon “progressives” mostly from the ranks of reform / “conservative” denominations

Most of US Orthodox Jews, are staunchly pro Trump

So in general, about half of all Jews (~14 Million total) support Trump and the other half, don’t

While this is of course unfortunate, given his unprecedented / unwavering support of Israel, it does, to a large extent, mirror the political divide in America

Hopefully Trump will achieve many Victories in and out of the US, that will persuade more and more Americans, Jews and non Jews, to support his MAGA agenda

Supporting a strong Israel, is a crucial part of the MAGA agenda

“He deserved to die because he was a ‘settler’ on the West Bank” As everyone knows, the imaginary ‘future Palestine’ has to be ‘Jew-Free’ (or juden-frei as the Nazis put it). Never mind that 16% of Israel proper is Arab (there are MORE Arabs in Israel itself now than lived there before 1948 (some ‘genocide’).

There will never be a “palestine” there never was, even the concept of a “palestinian people” is a piece of fiction from 1001 arabian nights fairy tales.

When will someone have the courage to re-write the Koran and delete the requirement to achieve Paradise by killing Jews?

Like that’s ever going to happen — after a 1400 years of unending Jew hatred.
If you were to even publicly propose such a thing in ANY muslum state you would be at least arrested and imprisoned at worse you would end up dead.
The concept of “reformation” of islum is nothing but a dishonest red herring because you can’t reform evil.

All those “moderate”, “good” muslums in Israel have certainly been making all the difference for the last seventy years.

This is tragic and now six children are without a father who was a unique person and kind to everyone and was killed by Palestinian cowards simply for being Jewish.

The murder of Rabbi Raziel happened near the city of Nablus in Israel.

In Nablus you will not find one single Jew being treated. The doctors in Nablus will not treat any Jews. The hypocrisy is sickening.

In hospitals in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem you will find Muslims and Palestinians being treated by Jewish doctors.

G-d bless and watch over the children of Rabbi Raziel Shevach.

God be with the Rabbi’s family–especially his 6 kids.

To all innocent people trapped by jihad in the Middle East, (especially those in Israel): stay strong. The rest of us support you and care about you, and we condemn terrorism in all forms!

All kinds of tactical measures can help, although the main problem is strategic (expel hostile elements).

1. More highway patrol police officers.
2. More checkpoints
3. Ban hostile elements from driving on that road.
