What a surprise! Two Arab Muslim terrorists just murdered three Jews in the heart of Jerusalem in a terror attack with M-16 rifles. One of the murdered was a senior Torah giant and judge on the Rabbinical Court of Ashdod, HaRav Elimelech Wasserman of blessed memory. The terrorists, both from Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhoods, were eliminated by two soldiers and a civilian. That’s the way to do it: eliminate them before the next hostage exchange.

And for the Second Amendment advocates among us, note this: The terrorists potentially could have murdered dozens. But a civilian was packing. In Israel that is increasingly common. And that armed civilian helped immediately dispatch those two subhumans to their 144 Virginians — gross virgins.

But who possibly could have predicted that an Arab Muslim terrorist would murder a Jew a week after Israel started releasing scores of Arab Muslim terrorists in yet another lopsided hostage exchange with Hamas?

Who? Me. That’s who.

And every other conscious person from Israel to America to the bi-polar people of Arctica and Antarctica.

The lunkheads who govern Israel have let 1,000 Arab Muslim terrorist murderers loose in exchange for one or two Jews every five or 10 years, over a period of 40 years. Consequently, every Arab Muslim terrorist who attacks an Israeli presumes he eventually will be freed in a hostage exchange. If he murders three, even if he is given a million life sentences, he knows he will be free almost as fast as a criminal in an American city with a Soros defense attorney.

Israel needs to execute Arab Muslim terrorist murderers. They even need to execute those who attempt murder but fail to achieve their goal.

Trial. Witnesses. Evidence. Jury. Conviction. Appeal. Supreme Court Appeal. Hang ’em. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Don’t preach morality to Israel after 125 years of Arab Muslim terrorists mass-murdering Jews. Aug. 24, 1929, has been one among several Dec. 7, 1941, dates to remember in Israel: the 1929 Ḥevron massacre. Don’t opine about their humanity. The word “humanity” assumes we are talking about humans. They are wild asses, truly as the Torah records that G-d’s angel prophesied to Hagar: “And he shall be a wild ass of a man: his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the face of all his brethren.’” That is The Word. Genesis 16:12.

Do not mistake a call for the extermination of Hamas and of all Arab Muslim terrorists with a pronouncement beyond that. Do not generalize otherwise about Muslims or Arabs. I think back to one of the greatest movies ever, Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven, where Ned, a character played by one of the greatest actors ever, Morgan Freeman, ends up getting beaten to pieces, whipped to shreds, and then left for dead in a humiliating way. Amazingly, throughout the entire two hours and 11 minutes of the movie in which Freeman has a major part along with Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman, never once is his character referred to by anyone as “Black” or treated any differently from anyone else. The film and its fictional Wild West society is color blind. Any film viewer without a chip on his or her shoulder knows that Freeman was treated that way simply because, as the story unfolded, that brutality was going to happen to one of Eastwood’s two associates as they took revenge, for a bounty, against two men who savagely beat up and disfigured a prostitute.

So that is what this is about. Color blind. Ethnic blind. Religion blind. Arabs? We all are people. Muslims? We all are people. Arab Muslims? We all are people. Arab Muslim terrorists? They are not human but wild asses and must be executed when they attempt murder, regardless of whether they succeed. If they fail, they will be back. A wild ass does not stop. All the more so, when they succeed. Otherwise, they get swiped out and let free in five or 10 years when the next hostage exchange occurs, and that comes more frequently than Halley’s Comet.

But there is more.

This attack compels three important conclusions:

First, exactly as I wrote in advance, and as Daniel Pipes has written, as Melanie Phillips of England has written, and as Daniel Greenfield has written, and as so many others have written, these hostage exchanges have got to stop. They are poison. Israel has got to learn how to Just Say No.

Second, the reader may have noticed that the word “Arab” appears throughout this article but never “Palestinian.” That is because there is no such thing as Palestinians. For all I care, they can call themselves “Martians.” But there is no such thing as any other “Palestine” besides Israel, which is Palestine but changed its name in 1948. There never will be an Arab “Palestine” unless Jordan changes its name to “Palestine” — which it should because it occupies the majority of the “Palestine Mandate,” and King Hussein’s family does not even come from there. The Hashemite dynasty are occupiers from Syria and Iraq.

Third, public policy experts are beginning to opine on “What about the ‘Day After’?” That is, if Israel actually manages to clear Hamas out of Gaza, then what?

One suggestion is that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates oversee the formation of a new “Reform Government” in Gaza.

Good luck with that. First, Saudi Arabia and the UAE barely want to get involved with Gazans. They manifestly do not want any of them entering their lands. And they hardly would succeed in controlling what would arise in Gaza. There are 22 Arab Muslim countries. Not a single one is a Western-style democracy. Gaza won’t be the charm.

A second idea is that the “Palestine Authority” in part of Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”), under Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas), take on the governance of Gaza too.

Understand right now: That will never happen. They are just as bad as Hamas, only with suits and ties. They are a despicable dictatorship. Abbas is in the 19th year of the four-year term to which he was elected. He won’t allow elections because the bloodthirsty animals who make up the “innocent civilian” population of the “Palestine Authority” would elect his Hamas opponents in a landslide. A very recent poll finds that 76 percent of the population support Hamas. Most of us Americans do not follow daily Arab media, but the Palestine Media Watch does. It has exposed that the “Palestine Authority” has publicly and regularly cheered the Hamas genocide of Oct. 7, denies that Hamas committed the murders but says that Israel slaughtered its own people, and denies there were rapes or beheadings or burnings despite video taken by the Hamas murderers on their own body cams proving they did it and bragging they did it. The “West Bank” “Palestine Authority,” which pleads poverty to the world and demands more money to prop them up, even will be paying nearly $3 million this month to the families of the 1,500 Hamas Gaza terrorists Israel has killed on and since Oct. 7. Israel will never allow those animals to rule Gaza, no matter how intense the pressure from Joe Biden.

No way, José.

And that leaves the only sensible solution: Israel will have to occupy and govern Gaza. Not a pleasant thought. It’s worse than being elected mayor of Chicago, but only on Saturday nights on the South Side. But there is no other option. Gaza must be demilitarized permanently. The United Nations is biased against Israel and would look the other way while Gaza imports more anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers and rebuilds its underground tunnel terror network. Only Israel will make sure Gaza stays demilitarized. It will be called “Occupation”: “Israel occupying Gaza.” But that is what must be done, so the protesters can talk to the hand.

And those are the three primary takeaways from the Arab Muslim terrorist murder of three Jews, including a great rabbinic scholar and judge, in Jerusalem:

1. Israel must begin to execute all who murder or even attempt to murder Jews for terrorist reasons. Otherwise, just neutralize them while they are in the act.
2. Civilians must be allowed to be armed because guns save lives.
3. There will never ever be a separate Arab Muslim country on the “West Bank” in Judea and Samaria. It’s all gonna be Jewish: From the river to the sea, Palestine indeed will be free.
4. Only Israel will be suitable to govern Gaza on the “Day After.” Not Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Not the United Nations. Not the “Palestine Authority.” Only Israel.

And so it must be in a neighborhood more dangerous than the Midwest. Because it is the Mideast.
