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.
