Our latest Watchdog of the Week is Joyce Klein, a former HonestReporting Mission participant from 2010. What Joyce learned from that experience has clearly made an impact judging from an excellent opinion piece penned by her that appears in her local Greenville News in South Carolina.
Here’s some of what she wrote:
The recent savage slaughter in Jerusalem took place in the early morning of Nov. 18 when a group of Jews were gathered in a synagogue in West Jerusalem for morning prayers. Places of worship are supposed to be free of terror, but two terrorists committed a well-planned assault on the assembled congregation, and literally butchered four renowned rabbis.
The weapons used were axes, meat cleavers and guns. The prayer shawls of the deceased were covered with blood. The first Israeli policeman to arrive on the scene was killed by the terrorists.
This was a symbolic attack on all Jews! It reminds us of the Holocaust, especially with the ugly face of anti-Semitism rearing up again in European countries and around the world!
Arabs in Gaza and East Jerusalem celebrated the atrocity by distributing candies and other sweets in the streets of their respective neighborhoods. And, it took Secretary of State John Kerry twisting the arm of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in order to get him to comment on the murders in the synagogue.
