Opinion | Amos the Prophet Turns Over in His Tomb | Israel today

2022-01-09T21:51:06.452Z


Amos Schocken recently accused the victim again: this time of the residents of Tekoa that a 19-year-old girl was almost murdered on the way to the settlement by Arabs.


Everyone has a name.

Haaretz editor Amos Schocken, who called on Twitter for residents of the "Occupied Territories" in general, and the community in particular, "Just get out of there, then they will stop throwing stones at you. An Israeli citizen has nothing to look for in Tekoa or anywhere else in the Occupied Territories."

It is named after the prophet Amos who is in Nokdim Tekoa.

His reaction came amid an incident from last Thursday, in which Arabs nearly murdered a 19-year-old girl who was driving to stab, using rocks thrown at her car.

And as usual, instead of blaming the killers for the potential, Schocken almost fabulously blames the victim.

"For the three transgressions of Israel, and for the four, I will not return," said the prophet Amos.

On the mental distortion in blaming the victim.

On the lack of empathy.

On arrogance.

On the disconnect.

On the Arrogance: I'm a stuck resident.

If I raise my eyes above the computer, which is located near the tomb of the prophet Amos who grazed the flock on the hill on which I am sitting, I will see the Herodium.

What do you see, Amos Schocken, when you look up?

Probably a tower.

But I will not marry you and ask, "What do you have to look for there?", Because I understand that in the world there is a place for all kinds of people and all kinds of choices, and they must be tolerated and accepted.

And on the detachment of the handful who are still convinced that he is the majority, that he is the influencer and ruler. Of Amos "Shalhevet Fes was killed because of the irresponsibility of her parents, who thought it was possible to raise children in a combat environment, and of the Ministry of Welfare, which in a normal country would take children out of war zones" Schocken, of Deputy Minister Yair "Chumash settlers are not people. They are subhumans. Despicable "Golan, or MK Gabi" does not know if the settlers have the right to vote, they are abroad "for skiing. Woke up. Most of the people are not with you. The truth is that he thinks the opposite of you. He has no faith in the Arabs, to whom you want to give parts of the homeland. It is driven by love rather than hatred, and a healthy desire to live.

And on the detachment from reality.

From the inability to learn from it, even after disturbances in the mixed cities, only eight months ago, in which blood and fire and plumes of smoke proved what we knew long ago: that even if we leave the "occupied territories" they will continue to throw stones at us, , Beat us and stone us and set us on fire because we are Jews in a space they mistakenly think is theirs.

"Behold, days will Baim Nam-ihoh and Ngs plowman Bktzr and Drc grapes Bmsc Hzra and Htifo Hhrim syrup and Cl-hgbaot Ttmoggnh. And Sbti At-sbot Ami Israel and Bno Arim Nsmot and Isbo and Ntao Crmim and Sto At-iinm and Aso Gnot and Aclo At-frihm. And Ntatim Al-admtm and La And they shall be plucked up from off their land, which I gave unto them, saith the LORD thy God.

That Amos said, not me.

I think he's right.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
