Ponder How the Bibas Boys Died
(Wall Street Journal) Bernard-Henri Levy - I have spent my life witnessing and reporting on the most atrocious crimes. When I think of Kfir and Ariel Bibas and their mother, Shiri, I'm not sure I have ever encountered such horror. Consider those phrases "child hostage" and "baby hostage." Some remnant of humanity generally prevents captors from bothering with an infant. Here, they deliberately took the time to abduct these two terrified little beings clinging to their mother. Once, children were gassed as they descended from the trains. Hamas waited. Damn those who try to drag us into the false game of moral equivalency. These two breaths cut short, this double death of innocence, is Hamas's abomination alone - and it is unforgivable. The writer is a philosopher and author of more than 40 books.
