Jerusalem – Religious Zionist rabbis sent a letter Monday to the family of murdered Palestinian boy Mohammad Abu Khdeir, saying they are sorry for the crime and that they wish to offer comfort during the time of sadness.

The letter reads, “We are ashamed of our people down to the bottom who carried out such a vile and brutal murder,” according to NRG (http://bit.ly/1jInnLN).
The letter went on to say the rabbis also felt the grief of the loss and that it is hard to imagine the pain the family feels over losing their young son who had his life ahead of him.
Some of the signatures on the letter included Rabbi Yaakov Ariel, Rabbi Moshe Lichtenstein, Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, Rabbi David Stav and Rabbi Yehuda Gilad, among others.
The rabbis also called on religious leaders of the Arab public to join them and educate others on the importance of the preservation of innocent life and to create communication to live in peace.

Self hating apologists and idiots. Their “words of comfort” will not be accepted and are scorned by the other side, and no amount of apologizing, and begging for their approval will work. Shimon Peres was put to shame when he attempted to visit the “mourning tent” of the Arab boy’s family and they refused to allow him in. Perhaps these rabbis should instead be calling upon the Arab public to condemn the murders of the 3 Israeli boys. But they won’t do that because they know it will never happen.
Did yaacov avinu send letter to parents of schem saying he’s ashamed after his sons killed most of the town in a revenge killing?
Every decent person is ashamed of what these people did.
Unfortunately, from a cultural point of view, these apologies are not taken as a sign of strength, courage, consolation or integrity. They are viewed as weakness. Notice how tepid the Arab response was to the murder of our three bochrim HY”D? The only reason to show softness or conciliatory speech is for the purpose of gaining a later tactical advantage over the enemy. The underlying principle behind this tactic is a precedent set by Mohammed in 628CE known as the Treaty of Hudaibiya. Look it up and be enlightened. (There are variant spellings on it.)
What a waist of time in my humbled opinion, the hatred world doesn’t even acknowledge it and the Arabs for sure don’t.
I want to see a letter sent by an Islamic cleric sent to one of the 3 boys families stating how ashamed they are for Hamas. You won’t find it. They are filled with glee by murder. Jews are filled with shame when on a very very rare occasion a manic does something like murder.
Now let’s see how many of the Imam’s will follow…
Very nice. How many Immams sent condolences to the families of our boys HYD? Let me think………thinking. Ummmm……………
Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy. These Rabbis should “think” about the repercussions of what they have done.
OK enough lets stop talking about this Slain Palestinian Boy.. we didn’t talk so much about our three brothers that were murdered…
The pally would have been a future terrorist!
change your name to AM HAARETS
These alleged rabbis should be sued for malpractice.
Part 1
Number seven Maven brought forward the opinion that it is too late for the rightwing Zionist Rabbis to apologies for the barbaric murder of, this innocent young Arab (as far we know). He places blame at the feet of the radical rightwing Zionist Rabbis and rightwing news outlets. For what they are preaching, not-only, not to exchange land for peace, but to expend the land at any cost, to include all the land mentioned in the Torah. It is true that number seven has punctual and grammatical errors, but at least we could decipher what he is alluding too.
Here comes Stamm as number seventeen and he writes;
“so (sic) what is your opinion-we should give them more land after seeing what they are doing with it?”
Stamm, never explains what did the Palestinian did with the so called “their land” when they are under occupation and they don’t have any total control. Additionally, Maven never put forward that Israel should surrender land without any guarantees going without saying, in accordance with the international community directive headed by the USA.
Part 2
“i “(sic) suggest you should try to understand the situation a bit better instead of listening to the defective propaganda “
Again Stamm, never explained what propaganda”
“what (sic) you are saying here (?, Did he say something else in another?) post sounds very ignorant bec. (sic) the (sic) saying (The point or argument.) was never out there”do (sic) whatever it takes not to give up land” instead it is “it is life threatening to give away land”
This the lie of the century; Chabad and the religious Zionist do openly call for the expansion of Israel to include all the territories.
“The mitnachalim are there to save the rest of the yidden- i (sic) suggest you should try to understand the situation a bit better instead of listening to the defective propaganda.” (No punctuation.)
Part 3
Using families as a buffer is no different than the Arabs setting up terrorist shops in schools, hospitals, or Mosque’s. That is deranged. You made-out the Chabad and the religious Zionist as deranged.
“the (sic)saying was never out there”do (sic) whatever it takes not to give up land” instead it is “it is life threatening to give away land”
“He is wrong the political rightwing used State security as their banner, but Chabad and the religious Zionist always used the Torah borders as an obligation to conquer.
Last part
“do (sic) you kow (sic)there is no medicine in their hospitals bec. (sic) all (sic) the money is used for ammunition to kill us all.
He conveniently not mentioned that Palestinian is under occupation. Therefore, you cannot blame them for using their meager resources on arms. (I am not putting forward that I agree with this POV.)
“actually (sic) it sounds like there is no use trying to teach yo (sic) alep (sic) bet . you (sic) see that everyone condemns this despicable act however your reasoning is beyond /way out of line(sic)
What bunk; not everyone condemned the cowardly murder. As a matter of fact here on VIN, you had a sizeable segment that applauded the murder.
Finally number nineteen, if you call this coherent, you do have a problem.
It’s surprising that any Yid could criticize such a humanitarian response to a most dreadful crime, a chillul HaShem of enormous magnitude (regardless of the sanity, or lack thereof, of the perpetrators)–but then again nothing surprises me anyone. The Three Weeks are upon us. Time to do collective teshuva.
Perhaps the apology was for our benefit as well as the grieving family. To remind us that cold blooded murder is not our way, it never was and never will be. .
