Draggingtree Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Remembering Itamar Member Mountie March 10, 2017 22 COMMENTS There are events that happen that clear away all pretense. Something removes all posturing and by simple virtue of its starkness reveals something for what it is. The Itamar massacre is just such an event. And on its anniversary I raise it as a issue, because people cannot forget. The event happened six years ago on March 11. A family of five was murdered in their beds. Set all things aside: that they were an Israeli family in a West Bank settlement, that the West Bank is contested territory, that the attackers were Palestinian, and that there is an ancient grievance between Muslims and Jews. Set all of that aside. Read the Wikipedia article. There are four words that tell you everything you need to know. Four words that remove all pretense, all posturing, all excuses, all politics, all religion, all culture. Four words that remove all things and allows you to see something plainly for what it is. “The infant was decapitated.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
