Say, remember when I pointed out that one of the names of the victims of the Hadera suicide bombing sounded Arabic?
It was.
And apparently, Islamic Jihad apologized for having accidentally killed an Arab instead of another Jew.
A recent apology from Islamic Jihad for the death of Jamil did little to assuage the Qa’adans. Jamil’s brother Abdelrasek told Ynet
that the family refuses to accept the apology. Jamil, says Abdelrasek, was the family’s supporting pillar and no apology will bring him back.“We don’t accept Islamic Jihad’s apology. What’s the point in apologizing when you kill my brother? Declerations like these do not comfort us. Jamil was the central pillar of the family and with his death the family collapsed. If my brother’s death would have brought forward the establishment of an independent Palestinian state I would have sacrificed myself for this purpose. Yet do apologies bring Jamil back?†said Abdelrasek.
But – but I thought all the Arabs were behind the terrorists’ goals! Gee. Could I be wrong?
He added that there is no escape from dialogue for reaching fair peace between Israel and the Palestinians. “Enough to bereaved families, enough to widows and orphans,†he said, hoping his brother’s death would be the last in the ongoing conflict.
Why, that sounds like he’s saying to stop the killing.
Not that PIJ will listen. They’re one of Iran’s proxy fighting squads, the other two being Hizbullah and Hamas.
But it’s good to know that sanity prevails.
