Quote of the Day

When people tried to blame Netanyahu as being responsible for the events of the Shomer Hachomot (Guardian of the Wall) escalation - I said that is very serious and incorrect. We do not need to blame ourselves when they attack us. From the earliest days of Zionism there has been Arab terror against Jews. To use it now for political benefit only serves the objectives of the terrorists, to sow discord among us. We are together and we need to stand together.

  -- Justice Minister Gideon Saar

I agree with Saar. It is nobody's fault that a terrorist decided to attack and kill Jews - that is, nobody's fault other than the terrorists and those supporting them. It was not Netanyahu's fault when he was Prime Minister and it is not Bennett's fault now that he is Prime Minister. It is also not Bar Lev's or Gantz's or the entire government together. 

That being said, it is the government's responsibility to bring a sense of security back to the nation. It wont happen in one day, but the people want and need to see that the government is working to put down the terrorism and keep us safe.
