  1. There must be a ZERO TOLERANCE for any and all terrorist attacks against innocent men, women, & children. Our enemies have forgotten what the definition of war includes; a battlefield and soldiers. Our enemies attack anyone anywhere.
    There were those that preached & warned us in the past. It is not at all complicated. Giving up land will NEVER result in peace. The elimination of ALL Jews from the Middle East is our enemies goal. Those who think otherwise are just foolish, as history speaks for itself.
    May G-d protect us from our enemies and bring the Final Redemption with MOSHIACH very very soon. – See more at: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/364508/terror-attack-at-shar-shechem.html#sthash.uptczAHA.dpuf
