Horrible- No Excuse!

Anyone following the news out of Israel today could not have missed the apprehension of the suspected killer of a taxi driver in Tel Aviv. The confessed murderer and his younger brother apparently loured the driver, an Israeli Arab into their apartment attacked him and ultimately murdered him by slicing his throat. The man was apparently murdered for no reason other than being an Arab. The suspects are French olim which only adds to the horror and injustice of this crime. After we saw the beating and ultimate murder of a young Jewish man in France which prompted condemnation from leaders around the world, two Jews from France have committed an equally horrific crime for which they will not pay alone but we as the Jewish people will have to suffer the consequences. We as a nation are to be as a light unto all nations, we are not taught to kill in cold blood, to plot against our neighbor. Not only as a future Oleh, but first and foremost as a Jew I am ashamed and horrified by the violence brutality and hatred exhibited by these two men, my coreligionists, my brothers. It is a sad day for Jews, it is a sad day for Israel, and I pray that Hashem grants comfort to the family of the victim and for the two involved that justice be swift.
