Letter to the Editor
Moderate Jewish need to condemn extremists

Earlier this week, a Jewish settler in Palestine pulled over his vehicle to the side of the road. He then waited systematically for a Palestinian to drive by; Salah Jibara, a father of eight, pulled over, asking if the settler needed help. He got his answer; the settler pulled out an M-16, killing him on the spot. This doesn't shock anyone; every religion has its crazies, after all. What is outrageous is that the Israeli court freed the radical Jew killer, sentencing him to "house arrest." When the settler was asked why he did it, he responded "It doesn't matter, he was only a Palestinian." We call on all "moderate Jews" to speak up and to defend the "true Judaism" and to condemn these terrorists once and for all.
