Family Comes First

You guys are funny.

It's a very simple concept, [Name]. I'm surprised, having explained it to you three times now, that it has still not sunk in.

Me: "There will be no concessions on preserving Jewish life."

You: "Sorry, there is no point in arguing any further with a facist."

Me:"The situation is clear for both of us. I will not compromise on securing Jewish life, and you will not compromise on retaining the option to end Jewish life."

You: "You can't even see the above line is fascist, racist, supremecist, because you're blinded by your own bigotry. You clearly believe that Jewish is more important than Palestinian, Arab or African life."

Shall we repeat this game? I'll remind you that there will never be a compromise that endangers Jewish life. You will respond how unfair it is that I won't let you kill Jews, and how I am a Nazi for not allowing you to kill my people.

This game will continue, until you do what I suggested days ago: "Reconsider your posture so that Jewish life and Palestinian human rights are not mutually exclusive. This is the basis on which I view the situation."

So long as you wish to endanger Jewish life, your rights mean nothing to me. It is not merely a matter of my personal preference. It is a matter of Halacha. If you have an issue with it, take it up with G-d.

You can call me whatever name you wish. The Jews are not leaving. You can start another intifada. The Jews are not leaving. You can beat your wife until she is blue. The Jews are not leaving.

Until your people accept that retaining the option to murder Jews is unacceptable, your people will remain behind the Security Barrier, living with checkpoints, rubber bullets and the occasional airstrike.

There is no Jewish law on Palestinian demographics. The only law of relevance deals with preserving life, all life, starting with Jewish life.

That. Means. You're. A. Fascist.

When you go to a hospital, do you visit every single patient? No, that's ridiculous! You visit your family member who is sick first. Does that make you fascist? Does that mean you don't care about others? Family comes first. I never thought I would have to explain that to a Palestinian. You are a Palestinian, aren't you, [Name]?

There will be no compromises on the safety of my family.

It's your life wasting away. Sad, I know, but your choices have consequences. The Jews are not leaving. That's all there's to it.
