Blessed Are the Peacemakers


(Melbourne Herald Sun-Australia) Alan Howe - To make progress with talks to find a solution to the region's problems, Israel has been releasing from its jails some of the Middle East's worst killers. When Issa Abd Rabbo was released recently, he was welcomed home personally by the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, who raised Rabbo's hand in victory and referred to the double killer as a hero. He calls men like Rabbo "the best of the Palestinian people." Rabbo killed two university students, Revital Seri, 22, and her friend Ron Levi, 23. The murderer was interviewed on television and described what happened: "An Israeli car approached, with two in it. I said, here's a chance and I don't want to return empty-handed. They left the car...and sat down under a pine tree. I went down to them. Of course I was masked and was carrying a rifle." "I tied them up, of course, and then sentenced them to death by shooting, in the name of the revolution. I shot them, one bullet each, and went [hiding] in the mountains....I went to my aunt and told her: 'Instead of one, we got two!' She cried out in joy." The bloodlust of these insane young Arab men and the manner in which their leaders promote the carnage against their neighbors is endlessly depressing.
