Last month, Palestinian terrorists murdered Lucy Dee and her two daughters, Rina Dee and Maya Dee while they were driving in the Jordan Valley. 

Surviving daughter Tali Dee wrote a heartbreaking article in the Times of Israel last month, explaining the horrific grief she is suffering and will continue to suffer as a result of this violence. 

Rabbi Leo Dee could have chosen anger, vengeance, and hatred towards the sick cowards who slaughtered his wife and daughters last month. Instead, he has spoken words of wisdom, kindness, and peace. He has even said that Arab neighbours sent him condolences and Dee also praised the fact that Lucy Dee’s organs helped save the life of an Arab as well as Jewish citizens. 

Most importantly, Rabbi Dee has pointed out that this terrorism can happen whether you are in Tel Aviv or in Efrat. This is a clear rebuttal of those like UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who so disgustingly try to blame the Dees for living in disputed territories when not long after this terrorist attack, a different Palestinian terrorist murdered an Italian tourist in Tel Aviv, which is not disputed territory. 

It’s not about where the Jews live. Israel has offered the Palestinians almost all of the disputed regions several times in return for peace. Palestinian terrorism is about destroying the Jewish nation by murdering Jewish people. Period. This is why Hamas said in its charter that it would encourage the murder of any Jew anywhere. 

Palestinian terrorists in Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the PLO, and the Palestinian Authority have no interest in peace or a two-state solution. They simply want the annihilation of the Jews. 

As Rabbi Dee said, it’s time to stop equivocating between good and evil. The terrorist is the evil one. The terrorist is not a victim. The victim is not to blame for the actions of a terrorist.

Hamas and Palestinian civilian collaborators are subjecting hostages, especially women, to daily sexual violence.

Hamas' published their own hostage video, in which these savages promised to marry off the women, a.k.a, to use them as sexual slaves.

This is a common practice among Muslim terrorists, as seen previously with the systematic rape of Yazidi women by Islamic State terrorists. It is a reflection of the sexually depraved culture that the Palestinians have created under their Islamic dictatorships in the West Bank and in Gaza.

One released hostage reported that she had been sexually assaulted by a Palestinian terrorist who apologised and told her not to tell Israel.

Captured Palestinian terrorists have confessed to Israeli investigators that they have sexually assaulted hostages.

Remember this when the pro-Palestinian damage control machine peddles its usual sob stories about Palestinian victimhood to whitewash the savagery demonstrated by Palestinians towards Israel's people.

Not a single Palestinian lawyer, judge, or independent investigator has prosecuted or punished the criminals who are raping Israel's women daily. Not a single one.

Why? We've just found out that a Palestinian journalist was holding Israeli hostage Noa Argamani prisoner in his apartment in the Nuseirat neighbourhood.

That's why the Palestinians won't punish these rapist monsters.

And that's why Israel must plan and carry out more rescues of the remaining 120 or so hostages, rather than subject themselves to the mendacity and mercilessness of Palestinian "negotiation".

The British-Australian star, Miriam Margolyes, best known for her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter film series, was on live TV when she stated, 'I’m on the side of the Palestinians. I have to tell you that now.' She continued, 'Because being Jewish, we always have to state where we stand. Are we for Israel or against Israel? I'm only for humanity. Ceasefire. Ceasefire.

“Jews are willing to give up land for peace.” Bull fucking shit!!! Have you seen what’s happening to the West Bank??? Are you aware of how many Palestinians have lost their homes to Israeli settlers? In settlements that are internationally recognized as illegal!!! This isn’t just an Israeli thing either. Diaspora Jews are being recruited to move to the West Bank but Israeli real estate agents.

“We are NOT willing to bare our necks before the executioner's axe just because Islamists demand it.” But you expect Palestinians to bare their necks for the executioner’s axe because Israel demands it.

Jews are not the fucking victims here. I know Jews have been the victims of a lot of violence throughout history but the situation in Palestine is perhaps the one time in history Jews are the perpetrators.

I see you didn't read or watch a single source I gave to back up my claims, and didn't cite any sources to back up your claims either.

Since you're not going to bother to read, I'll keep it brief:

Are you aware of how many Palestinians have lost their homes to Israeli settlers?

And are you aware of how many Jews were violently driven out of their homes due to Islamic aggression after WWII--mostly in retaliation for Israel being formed?

Are you aware that Jews were living in and around the "West Bank" (historically Judea and Samaria) for centuries before Arab Jordinians invaded and violently expelled all the Jews living there in 1948?

Are you aware that most so-called "illegal settlements in the West Bank" are places where previous Jewish communities were forcibly expelled by Arab armies or militia, and many "Israel? (Or slaughtered, like Jewish community of Hebron in 1929?)

Are you aware that about 2 out of 9 million Israeli citizens are Israeli Arabs--most of whom are descended from Arabs who chose not to leave to make it eas

Meanwhile, most of Israel's current 2.2 million Israeli Arabs are descended from Arabs who chose not and annexed

But you expect Palestinians to bare their necks for the executioner’s axe because Israel demands it.

No, I just want them to stop attacking and trying to kill all Israelis/Jews already.

Like the so-called "moderate" Palestinian Authority's infamous "pay to slay" Martyr Fund, which incentivizes West Bank Arabs to attack and kill Israelis/Jews, since they get more money for every act of violence they commit against "the state of Israel."

Like Hamas firing rockets Israel non-stop after the latter completely withdrew from Gaza and effectively gave them a Palestinian state to run as they please, without Israeli.

Jews are not the fucking victims here. I know Jews have been the victims of a lot of violence throughout history but the situation in Palestine is perhaps the one time in history Jews are the perpetrators.

I want you to stop and think about that for a moment.

What logical sense does that make? "Yeah, Jews were victims of violent persecution throughout history, but THIS TIME all the evil things people say about you and do to you are totally justified!!"

a) Isn't that what antisemites say every time they attack Jews?

b) Have you ever considered that maybe the said extensive history of violent antisemitism might have contributed to Palestinian Arabs being complete hostility towards and refusal to accept a Jewish homeland?

For example: After the Ottoman Empire lost against the European Allies in WWI and ceded territory to the victors, France gained control of "Greater Syria" while Britain gained control of Palestine and Mesopotamia (now Iraq).

About the same time that Britain thought about dividing Mandatory Palestine into an Arab State for the Arab Muslim majority to the east and a Jewish state for the (existing) Jewish minority to the west...

France was ALSO dividing Greater Syria into a larger Arab State for the Sunni Muslim majority, and a smaller state for the Maronite Christian and Druze minority.

Yet, no one ever questions why Arabs grudgingly accepted a state for the Maronite Christian/Druze minority, but threw a raging bitch fit against a homeland for the Jewish minority?

No one ever accuses Maronites/Druze of "stealing Syria land!" but they do constantly accuse Jews of "stealing Palestinian land!"

Speaking of, roughly 3/4 of the original Mandate for Palestine became what is now Jordan, yet no one ever accuses Jordan of "stealing Palestinian land"?

IF NOTHING ELSE, I would like you to AT LEAST read this detailed and well-researched article about historical attitudes and treatments towards Jews in Islamic lands, and how those same attitudes and treatments carried over into the Islamic world's reaction to Jews emigrating to and eventually creating Israel.

The horrifying pain of the surviving Dee family: Rabbi Leo, Tali, Keren, and Yehuda, shown at the funeral for wife and mother, Lucy Dee. She tragically died in hospital after being shot repeatedly by a Palestinian terrorist. Her two daughters, Rina and Maia, were killed instantly. Every time I have to repeat these words, I am filled with horror. The pain for the Dee family is a thousand times worse. Nobody can imagine it. Justice will be done! 

Hundreds of people gathered for the funeral of Lucy (Leah) Dee in Kfar Etzion on Tuesday afternoon, just two days after Dee's daughters were buried at the cemetery.

Lucy and her daughters, Maia and Rina, were murdered in a shooting attack near Hamra in the Jordan Valley on Friday. After extensive efforts to save Lucy's life at Hadassah Medical Center, she succumbed to her wounds on Monday.

Residents of Efrat and Gush Etzion gathered with Israeli flags along the roads where the funeral procession passed.

Lucy's daughter, Karen, eulogized her mother, saying "yesterday, beside the grave of Maia and Rina, I closed my eyes and prayed that you would wake up, so that we wouldn't need to go through this pain twice. My heart is already so full of pain, I am paralyzed by all the pain. To lose your mother is like losing your life. I don't want to move on."

"Everyone will move on, and just us will remain behind with this hole that cannot be filled. Even in a thousand words, I cannot summarize you," added Karen.

"Who will accompany me to the wedding canopy? I cannot return to routine. I cannot accept that it is over. I do not know how to end the eulogy, because no matter how I end it I will never succeed in fitting in everything."

Lucy's husband, Rabbi Leo Dee, eulogized his wife, saying "We literally traveled the world together, we made aliyah together. We built a new life for ourselves in the promised land. You would frequently say that you couldn't imagine living anywhere else, nor could I, even now, especially now."

Five patients received life-saving organ transplants from Lucy on Tuesday. A 51-year-old woman received a heart transplant, a 58-year-old woman received a lung transplant, a 25-year-old man received a liver transplant and a 58-year-old and a 39-year-old received kidney transplants.

I have absolutely no understanding how some of y'all can defend Hamas, man, like I'm getting tired of seeing this shit on my dash.

You don't like Israel because it's theocratic fascist and hyper-nationalist and commits war crimes in support of ethnical cleaning.

Cool, I'm with you! I also hate those things, and I'm doubly loud on this because 1) I'm Jewish and if I'm not people will just assume, and 2) I also have to deal with so much family who have been feed propaganda their whole lives and I have to try to give a different prospective.

But then why do you fucking support a different theocratic fascist hyper-nationalist organization that commits war crimes in the name of an oppressed group and wants ethnic cleansing?!

Being anti-fascist, anti-theocrat and anti-ethnic-cleansing means being against both the Israeli government and Hamas. It's pretty fucking easy to see. You can be against or critical of Hamas while also pushing back on the blatant lies told by the Israeli government and IDF about what Hamas does and (separately) about the Palestinian people.

If you insist on defending Hamas, or refuse to separate the Palestinian people from Hamas, or refuse to defend Palestinians while at least being critical of Hamas, I'm going to be suspecious of you. Period.

Some of y'all need to see a therapist for all or nothing thinking, I swear.

British Jewish journalist Melanie Phillips responds to what she rightly calls an ‘unspeakable atrocity’: the savage murder of Rina, Maia, and Lucy Dee by Palestinian terrorism. 

Note the following quotes:

For Anglo-Jews, however, the attack on the Dee family isn’t just close to home. It is home. Rabbi Dee was a community rabbi in Radlett, just outside London, from 2011-2014 when the family moved to Israel. He and his family are well known and much admired in Britain’s Jewish community. The Anglo-Jewish world, both in Israel and in Britain, is numb with grief and shock.

And finally:

Remarkably, there have been no words of hatred from Rabbi Dee. No words of bitterness, no calls for revenge. Only an expression of trust that justice will be done; a reiteration of the balance within Judaism between justice and love; and the beyond-moving hope  — after his wife finally succumbed to her injuries — that by choosing good over evil we can all make the world a better place. To glimpse this rabbi’s amazing courage and steadfastness, watch these two video clips here and here.

I gotta say, I am seriously fucking concerned with the amount of people here who seem to wholeheartedly believe that the correct answer to the genocide against Palestine is ANOTHER genocide except the other way around. Please stand back for 2 minutes and seriously think about whether you think it’s ever a helpful or just cause to advocate for the deaths of millions of people, especially when plenty of said people are Jews whose families fled there after barely surviving the Holocaust because hardly anywhere else would treat them like human beings or accept them at all since the antisemitism that allowed the Holocaust to happen was not solely in Germany and didn’t magically disappear after the war ended.

Look. The situation is simple when you boil it down to this: Israel is bombing and starving Palestinians like fish in a barrel and doesn’t want to allow aid to Gaza, which consists of a population of over 50% children. Israel allowed the Nakba and displacement of Palestinians for decades and tries to hide it from public view. This is genocide. The Israeli government is at fault for this. Israel holds the power here because they have the power to bomb and starve millions of people and force them out of their homes, and Palestine certainly does not. It’s an utterly horrific, inhumane thing to do with no excuses for it and it needs to stop. This is the simple part that is glaringly obvious for everyone to see and it’s almost laughable for anyone to deny it.

Okay. You’ve successfully identified the main problem and the “bad guy,” if you want to put it in childish simplistic terms. So the question now is: what next? Say Israel agrees to an immediate ceasefire. What do you, impassioned activist on the internet, propose should be done to solve this situation after that? What should be done to free the Israeli hostages? Do you think the UK and the US, two of the most powerful countries in the world who actively help Israel commit its atrocities against Palestine, will ever do anything to help the Palestinians once Israel loses its power, even if better governments are eventually elected? How should the Palestinian land be claimed back? Where should all the Israeli citizens go? Should they all be forced out to Europe and America, even if that isn’t where they originate from, where the already-rife antisemitism has spiked even further since October 7th and Jews who live thousands of miles from Israel and have nothing to do with Israel’s actions face horrific hate crimes every day? Do Israeli children deserve that? Who’s going to pay for their travel and accommodation? Or, should they all be allowed to stay there and live side by side with the Palestinians? Do you think most Palestinians would be happy to remain neighbours with the citizens of the country that has oppressed them so fiercely for over 75 years, even if said citizens didn’t partake in it or in fact opposed it? What about the 20% of Israeli citizens who are Arab or Palestinian? Do you hold the same opinion of foreign settlers in Israel as you do its citizens whom have made a home there for many generations? How do you discern between settlers and “real” Israelis? Do you see any difference between them at all? Why? And what should be done about Hamas, the group that openly calls for the genocide of all Jews around the world and commits war crimes against Israeli citizens? How much of the history behind Israel’s occupation of Palestine are you aware of? Do you think the British government should be held accountable for splitting Palestine in the first place? How would you go about that? Would it be fair to punish the British people for their government’s actions when British citizens didn’t vote for it? How does that compare to your view of Israel and its citizens, and why?

I am absolutely NOT asking trick questions here or trying to “gotcha!” anyone. I am asking these questions precisely BECAUSE they are extremely difficult to answer, with several of them contradicting each other, and they are meant to get an emotional reaction out of you. I certainly don’t know what the “correct” answers to most of those questions are, and that’s exactly my point: there is no simple answer to a problem that has been going on for decades with such a wide, complex history. Historians and political experts who know all the facts and have studied this shit for years don’t know the answer and it’s honestly insulting to all the people suffering to log on every day and see so many people go “actually 😌 I, a random 20-30 something year old on the internet who isn’t even touched by what’s happening in Palestine, have figured it out before everyone else! Just delete an entire country and all its citizens off the map 😊 This is a moral thing to suggest! And if you disagree with me you’re promoting Zionism/terrorism 😘” There are no simple answers and if you think there is one — and especially if you think that answer is to kick citizens out of the country their family has lived in for generations — then you are both wilfully ignorant and evidently fuelled more by hatred than an actual desire for peace and an end to death and oppression and I don’t believe there is a crumb of sincerity in your activism.

Am I naive enough to think that fighting against oppression and occupation is always going to be peaceful? Obviously not. But you’ve got to think about where and when said violence is actually going to be beneficial, and where and when it’s violence purely for the sake of violence, which is NEVER justified. You can’t advocate for human rights and then turn around and say “oh, but not for you.” EVERYONE deserves food and water. EVERYONE deserves shelter. EVERYONE deserves to receive treatment for sickness or injury. NOBODY deserves cruel and unusual punishment or torture. And EVERYONE deserves to be alive. Those are essential human rights that should never, ever be denied wherever it is possible to give them, and disagreeing with that reflects extremely poorly on you and your principles. Think about what narrative you are pushing when you claim an entire people “deserves” bad things. The constant dehumanisation I see happening in online activism (and far too often in real life too) is actually terrifying and if you want to do some real good in the world, I need everyone reading this to examine their potential internal prejudices, even the ones you don’t think you have, and think about who exactly you’re helping when you express thoughts that perpetuate them, and who you may be harming in the process.

Anyway, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way…
