The Price Tag is always wrong


I don’t usually condemn specific terror attacks as I find it a hollow gesture when it comes from secular Chicago. Horrified by the price tag arson attack that killed 18 month old Ali Saad Dawabsha and now his father Saad Dawabsha who also died of his injuries, I feel compelled to take moment to wish the survivors of this attack the strength and courage to move forward, enough strength for their grief to be manageable and hopefully a good physical recovery for Riham Dawabsha the wife and mother and Ahmad Dawabsha their four year old son. Religious violence is all the same evil with only the religion’s name changing.  I condemn the evil inflicted on the Dawabsha family without reservation and qualification. I am deeply wounded to see people of my own faith fall prey to engaging in terrorism and hatred.  I am also somewhat buoyed to see the near universal condemnation of this terrorism by Israelis of all political stripes and hope that Israeli society will find the strength and means to eliminate radical evil wherever it comes from and I hope everyone remembers the Dawabsha family as Israeli society figures out how to prevent Price Tag attacks in the future.
