Israel Hayom | Count to 10, and act in full force

[Sahih Bukhari, volume 4, book 52, number 176] narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah’s apostle said, "you (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. the stones will (betray them) saying, 'o 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! there is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'”

Israel Hayom | Count to 10, and act in full force
"I counted to 10. And what now? How do we change the reality, not out of vengeance but out of a determination and sense of responsibility for our children's futures, a sentiment that has never been a component of Palestinian considerations? How do we prevent the next attack and create a chance for progress?

 We need courageous leadership to look at the big picture and understand that the terrorist armies and states around us are an existential threat. The answer is hard and painful to hear. There, without responding tempestuously, without making empty promises and threats, we have no choice but to eliminate Hamas in Gaza, from its leadership down to the very last of its terrorists. No pinpoint assassinations, no increasing our deterrence, no special operation -- a war over our right to exist."
