Today, or rather last night, at a hitchhiking station on the West Bank, three boys were grabbed, stolen from their families. These are boys, two 16 and one 19, not soldiers, but students. They were waiting to get a ride, to go home, when some animals came along and kidnapped them.
The three – Naftali ben Rachel Devorah, Gilad Michael ben Bat Galim, Eyal ben Iris Teshurah – need all our prayers, our pleas to G-d, to bring them home safe.
These are the same animals who shoot babies in their crib and slice the throats of children in bed. The world makes a fuss when an Arab youth throws stones and receives a rubber bullet from a soldier defending himself as stones do kill. Just ask Goliath. Just ask the women who are stoned to death in Moslem countries. Will the world make a fuss over these children? I doubt it; just more Jewish blood down the drain.
We can add our prayers to the prayers of the whole country. While the Palestinians are handing out candy to children and celebrating this kidnapping, the world must cry along with Israel and help in any way we can to get these boys back, safe and whole. Israel will not stop looking and will not leave them out there. Woe upon those who opened themselves up to a world of hell and hurt.
Read your Psalms. Let tears run down your face as we pray and search for these boys.
