Eden Atias And Palestinian Blind Hate

Eden Atias z"l a 19 year old young man, had been conscripted into the Israeli army just two weeks earlier, was fast asleep in his seat on a bus inside Israel when Hussein Rawarda a 16 year old Palestinian teenager consumed with hatred murdered him in cold blood.
Here is the blood stained bus seat.

Below we see the young Palestinian "Hero" enjoying his meal that his fellow cellmates in the Israel prison have made for him.

Hussein Rawarda was raised and educated in a climate of unflinching hatred of Israeli Jews as "Occupiers" and "usurpers of the dream of Palestine". This same society which lingers in self-pity as they ignore the historic fact they refused statehood and independence in 1947 but instead choose to allow themselves to be disposed and occupied by their Arab “brothers”. These same Arab Brothers who after 60+ years refuse to absorb them into their societies and insted relegate their “Arab brothers” to squalid refugee camps. These crowded areas with simple concrete shacks built in areas with no modern infrastructure of proper electricity, running water or sewage. These same Arabs of the Mandated Areas could have established a state on the entire West Bank from 1947 until 1967 while under Jordanian Arab occupation! Or in Gaza under Egyptian Occupation. These same Arabs do not question their own leadership for their repeated obstinate refusal to negotiate for a true peace in good faith when conditions and offers were given them for a better life and future for themselves and their Children. Instead they continue to languish in squalor in “Refuge Camps” existing on handouts from UNWRA and they lay all the blame on Israel and the Jews. And all the while their leaders live lives of luxury.

The Palestinians leadership and their “Leftist” supporters scream out that the “The Source” of all the ills afflicting the dismal relationship between Israelis and the Arabs of Palestine is “The Settlements = Settlers = Occupiers" who are "usurpers of the dream of Palestine.” The term that they bandier about most often as an excuse for these acts of Palestinian barbarism is “Incitement.” That is that Jewish settlement of the Jewish Homeland and inside of Israel is the sole basis for all their woes.

The term “Incitement” is vague and means little until you start watching the Arabic language video’s of Palestinian children’s TV programs. On studio sets full of decorative and colorful child filled backdrops filled with images for pre-schoolers you see the children in unprompted interviews, unthinkingly parrot the vicious curses against Israel that their cynical elders have fed them, and vow with the earnest innocence of their manipulated young psyches that they are willing to martyr themselves — to murder and be killed — for the noble, divine cause of harming the terrible "Occupiers" and "usurpers of the dream of Palestine".

Now, right now, day after day — in Gaza and in the West Bank, and in countries all across the region— in schools and in youthful get-togethers and in newspapers and on television and on Facebook pages and in the speeches delivered by political leaders — millions of young minds like that of Hussein Rawarda are being gradually poisoned. Children are being persuaded by those they trust that Israel is the embodiment of iniquity, and that all Israelis must be slaughtered. This is the society in which this hate filled teenager, who was brainwashed into believing that ONLY the Jews were at fault for all his woes repeatedly and viciously, stabbed another human being to death.

Eden Atias death, like that of the Fogel family, demonstrates just how depraved an atmosphere and a mindset prevails among the Palestinian youths in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The insistent approach by the Secretary of State John Kerry, is to focus almost exclusively on the settlement enterprise, while doing next-to-nothing to tackle pervasive negation of Israel’s legitimacy among Palestinians, a guaranteed approach to failure that will cause peace efforts to never succeed. By consistently telling and by applying pressure on the Israeli government and people by telling them that you regard settlements as illegitimate will not bring peace. The main enemy of Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation is the hatred for Israel that is being nurtured daily in the hearts of so many in the West Bank and Gaza — the constant narrative that says Israel has no right to exist, and that its people are rapacious invaders who must be struck down. Sixteen years filled only with hatred and lies brought Hussein Rawarda to the moment, on Wednesday morning, when he shed the last vestiges of his humanity and took away Eden Atias’s life.

If the cold-blooded murder of Eden Atias, at the hands of a youth two years his junior, does not prompt a realization of the imperative to halt the heartless, soulless poisoning of the Arabs with anti-Israel incitement than we will never see peace.
