| Netanyahu Says Israel Won't Yield to 'Subhuman Terrorists' |
| 2013-04-16 |
| [An Nahar] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday Israel would not give in to "subhuman terrorists," as the Jewish state honored its slain soldiers and civilians killed in bad turban attacks. Netanyahu, at a ceremony at the Mount Herzl national cemetery, pointed to the case of Israeli toddler Adele Biton, still at death's door after being hurt in a stone-throwing attack on her mother's car in the West Bank a month ago. "As if anyone needed it we got a reminder that a stone is a lethal weapon," he said. "The terror of stones thrown in an ambush joins the terror of petrol bombs, the terror of knives, the terror of shots and missiles, bombs, boom-mobiles and suicide kabooms," Netanyahu said. "But we shall not retreat, not surrender, not give in ... Terror is not a blow from above, it is the work of humans, or subhumans. We shall defeat them." In a Memorial Day ceremony at a military cemetery in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said that peace was nowhere to be seen on Israel's horizon. "Terrorist attacks, the firing of rockets at civilian populations and delegitimization campaigns are the challenges which stand before us in the years to come, they will accompany us for the foreseeable future and they will force us to respond with a firm hand," Yaalon said. |

| #1 I wish that our president would say that and mean it. And back up words with real deeds. I wish that Congress would take its responsibilities and quit doing things like write up a 1500 page piece of drivel immigration amnesty bill. I am sick to the very depths of my soul on the absolute incompetency of this Congress and Administration. They are getting people killed. I wish I could see a way out of this. I am not in a good mood tonight. Somewhere anger and despair. This has not been a good day to be an American. |
