The latest outrage I've been away from the computer for a few days, and I just found this article via Dawson.
At about 9:00 pm, Boaz Shabo was en route from Jerusalem, when his cellphone rang. It was his thirteen year-old daughter, Aviya. She was frantic.
One by one, family members who were at home, were shot with an automatic weapon after the terrorist forced himself into their house.
She had witnessed it all.
"PLEASE, abba [daddy], come home quick!" she wailed into the receiver. "They are dying."
There is no rational defense of this action. Even if you accept the Palestinian position that these settlers were there illegally, shooting a 5 year old child is a monstrous act. Anybodty who countenances such an action is every bit as much a monster as the animal who pulled the trigger.
