- Hello,
-
- This is a sad note but it must be sent to save our soldiers'
lives. I wrote the following letter to the editors of the Jerusalem Post:
-
- Sirs,
-
- The one shot to the head which killed Sgt. Ari Weiss
has all the hallmarks of a targeted hit. I can only hope that the next
time you publish a morale-boosting piece about one of our soldiers, it
will appear only after he has finished his tour of duty in the battlefield.
-
- Two weeks before, the Post published an article by Weiss'
mother detailing how she convinced food outlets in Raanana to donate delicasies
for her son's IDF unit in Nablus. As I read it I thought to myself that
this story belongs in a different time and a different war. Parents sending
food to the front of the Six Day or Yom Kippur War to boost morale was
appropriate considering the thousands of troops involved in the fighting.
But in the dirty little war taking place now in the Arab terror cities,
limited numbers of soldiers are involved and the Arabs know them by face.
The mother had to be forgiven her naivete but this article should never
have been published by the Post.
-
- This is a war of targeted killings by both sides. The
week the article appeared, a bomb was placed inside the Kokhav Yair home
of an IDF officer. Worse, far worse, Israeli traitors, led by one Jeff
Halper, working hand in hand with the enemy, are tracking the activities
of IDF officers and sending threatening letters to their homes. Because
of them, it is now IDF policy not to name officers or soldiers serving
in Judea, Samaria and Gaza in the media.
-
- And here was Ari Weiss being named and his unit's location
identified. The enemy has snipers trained by the CIA. In fact, new murderers
are receiving advanced CIA training in Jericho at this moment with the
permission and blessing of our Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. Graduates
of the CIA courses know how to flush out their victims and where to organize
ambushes.
-
- The streets of Nablus had been relatively quiet for
weeks. On the day Weiss was murdered, riots flared up, followed by gun
fights. Weiss' platoon was lured into a building where shots were fired
from and there he was shot in the head from a sniper's post in the building
next door. Well over a hundred soldiers must have been involved in putting
down such extensive violence but only Weiss died. A soldier next to him
was shot in the chest.
-
- This is a new war with very different, more immoral
tactics. Jews are targeted individually for the strongest demoralizing
effect. I have documented the long list of settlement political, military
and religious leaders who were ambushed and murdered. It is beyond statistical
doubt that this is the strategy being used to remove Israel and Israelis
from Yesha. While all the facts aren't in yet, I am certain that Ari Weiss
was the latest victim of this filthy strategy.
-
- Two weeks before Ari Weiss was murdered, The Jerusalem
Post published his photo to accompany his mother's article. This was an
act of irresponsibility bordering on criminality. One cannot blame a proud
mother, but the supposedly hardened editors of the Post had to have known
better. They gave the sniper a face to target. This is forbidden by the
IDF, so who gave the Post the right to put our soldiers at mortal risk?
-
- The Jerusalem Post owes the family of the brave soldier
and all of Israel a real explanation and a promise that this will never
happen again.
