My stomach has been hurting since Thursday.
Another family buries a son too young, too newly married, the father of a tender baby who will never know his father.
Another resounding tragedy of a life that was cut short when they just began to blossom.
The stubborn "drip" of murderous attacks requires us to stop.
"Not from the Arabs, because if we ask for his own blood ...", Moshe Dayan said about Roi Rotberg's grave in 1956 in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, after he was murdered by four Gazans who seduced him into approaching the fence.
"Hundreds of thousands of eyes and hands praying for our weakness to come, so that they can tear us to pieces - have we forgotten this? We are a settlement generation, and without the steel cap and cannon muzzle - we will not be able to plant a tree and build a house."
We have no expectations from our haters, Dayan said;
They are doing everything they can to achieve their goal - the destruction of the Zionist entity.
Our only expectation is from ourselves - that we will not forget who we are facing: not a "partner", but those who seek our evil.
And in order for the Jewish and Zionist vision of the restoration of the land and its construction to be realized - with security, prosperity and peace - we need a cannon muzzle.
The murder of the late Yehuda Dimentman is the end of a great and painful glacier of lawlessness: the abandonment of northern Samaria, the futile demolition of flourishing settlements; the abandonment of the roads of Judea and Samaria and a kind of reconciliation with being half "Wild West", An encouraging family, just two weeks ago; and deeply, abandoning the ideological space and adopting the Palestinian narrative regarding the heart of the country.
Instead of equipping our enemies with a variety of embarrassing excuses for their murder - we should have read Dayan.
"It is the decree of our lives," he continued over the fresh grave, "to be right and armed, strong and stiff, or that the sword will fall from our fists - and our lives will be known."
65 years have passed, and apart from our belief in the righteousness of the way - no fundamental change has taken place here.
Innocent Jews are still being murdered, and other innocent Jews are still trying to look in every direction except into the viewfinder of the cannon.
We do not justify terrorism, God forbid, just "understand" it.
Tell ourselves there are other reasons for this insatiable murder.
If God forbid a Jewish guy with an illegal weapon were to come out and lurk on the side of the road for a Palestinian car - the whole country would now be on its feet.
The extensive coverage should have included the name of the school where the killer attended, the name of the locksmith and the name of the Imam;
Israel had to take serious steps to ensure that the Palestinian Authority prosecutes and punishes those who should and should.
And yes, of course - Chumash should become a regulated and renewed locality already yesterday morning.
The Zionist equation has always been appallingly simple: they murder and cut down, we plant a tree and build a house.
And so that we do not see our beautiful flowers plucked at the cost of their lives - we should very well learn from Dayan's words: We are a settlement generation.
We do not yet have the privilege of removing the steel cap.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
