Terror Victim Taylor Force's Father Becomes Advocate "for Right vs. Wrong"


(JNS) Sean Savage - Taylor Force, a West Point graduate and U.S. Army veteran, was stabbed and killed by a Palestinian terrorist in Israel on March 8, 2016. His father, Stuart Force, told JNS, "If you are ideologically different than most Israelis or anyone else, it still doesn't give you the right to commit murder and crimes. That is the basic decency that bothers us - that you think you have the right to do this." Speaking in Newton, Mass., on March 12, he said, "What is motivating our family is the fact that people, both men and women, are being rewarded for terrorism. Probably most of them have been motivated or coerced by their whole educational system honoring martyrs. And there's no good reason for doing that." "The way we look at it...is that money that goes to help a group of people, that's where it should go to. It shouldn't go somewhere else to hurt other people....This is right versus wrong; it's not political. You don't have the right to hurt other people; that's a core Judeo-Christian value."
