There is a black hole inside me. In another five years or another 10 years – even at my wedding – this hole will be there
Last month, Palestinian terrorists murdered Lucy Dee and her two daughters, Rina Dee and Maya Dee while they were driving in the Jordan Valley.
Surviving daughter Tali Dee wrote a heartbreaking article in the Times of Israel last month, explaining the horrific grief she is suffering and will continue to suffer as a result of this violence.
Rabbi Leo Dee could have chosen anger, vengeance, and hatred towards the sick cowards who slaughtered his wife and daughters last month. Instead, he has spoken words of wisdom, kindness, and peace. He has even said that Arab neighbours sent him condolences and Dee also praised the fact that Lucy Dee’s organs helped save the life of an Arab as well as Jewish citizens.
Most importantly, Rabbi Dee has pointed out that this terrorism can happen whether you are in Tel Aviv or in Efrat. This is a clear rebuttal of those like UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who so disgustingly try to blame the Dees for living in disputed territories when not long after this terrorist attack, a different Palestinian terrorist murdered an Italian tourist in Tel Aviv, which is not disputed territory.
It’s not about where the Jews live. Israel has offered the Palestinians almost all of the disputed regions several times in return for peace. Palestinian terrorism is about destroying the Jewish nation by murdering Jewish people. Period. This is why Hamas said in its charter that it would encourage the murder of any Jew anywhere.
Palestinian terrorists in Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the PLO, and the Palestinian Authority have no interest in peace or a two-state solution. They simply want the annihilation of the Jews.
As Rabbi Dee said, it’s time to stop equivocating between good and evil. The terrorist is the evil one. The terrorist is not a victim. The victim is not to blame for the actions of a terrorist.
