One-Third of PA Arabs Support Massacre of Fogels

One-third of Palestinian Authority Arabs have expressed support for the brutal massacre of the Fogel family in Itamar last month, according to a poll conducted by the Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace at the Hebrew University and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah.

Arab terrorists slaughtered five members of the family, including the parents and a three-month old baby, while they were in their bedrooms on a Friday night, on the Jewish Sabbath. The results of the survey cast further doubt on the likelihood of the PA being a “peace partner” for Israel. Evidence continues to pile up that the PA has sanctioned the incitement of the Arab community to carry out violent attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers.

Concerning the chances of a copy-cat “uprising” that has spread throughout out Arab countries, there is little chance of it happening here, according to the respondents.

Two-thirds of the PA Arabs and almost three-quarters of Israelis said that demonstrations would not be capable of causing the erasure of a Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria.

However, slightly more than half of the PA Arabs feel a need for Gaza Arabs to organize protests against the de facto Hamas government.

Comment: Let's begin a frank conversation. This poll shouts to the West to finally face facts: cultures are different. Cultures' values are also different and unique to specific groups of people. One can ignore these self evident truths or you can face that the differences in values indeed dictate the humans resultant beliefs and actions. Judgments are made every day regarding the worthiness of peoples' values, to deny this is to display one's ignorance. Furthermore, based upon specific humanistic criteria it is possible to declare that cultures vary in their support of positive human behavior. This means that it is absolutely possible to indicate a judgment when comparing multiple cultures. There is no phobia at all when such a declaration occurs. Allow me to provide but one example: culture A believes in the sanctity of life and therefore has human behavior and interactions consistent with these believes. Culture B does not hold the sanctity of life in the same regard and therefore has resultant behavior that glorifies death.

There are of course hundreds of other comparisons using humanistic criteria as the marker. The end game for doing such an analysis is for the individual to make a decision about his/her life and the resultant behavioral choices. I choose culture A, I dismiss Culture B and will stand up against anyone who imposes culture B upon me or my family.

It is not phobic to do this, it is mandatory if you truly believe your culture is worth saving!
