Who was the real killer in Shfaram?

by Yekutiel Ben Yaakov

 Eden Natan Zada, a 19 year old Israeli soldier was murdered and
lynched by a violent Arab mob in Shfaram after he allegedly opened
fire on a bus, killing several Arab passengers. Police cuffed and
arrested Eden, and later allowed the mob to lynch him. This was still
not sufficient to calm the Arab marauders down. An Arab doctor was
then permitted to come on the bus to make certain that Eden was in
fact dead.

This too was not enough as the crowd danced and stormed the bus. The
police allowed this wild mob to control the area and the bus for
several hours, until they stepped in to remove the Jewish body from
the bus. The police moved in only after Jewish civilians threatened
to extricate the body and to storm into Shefaram. Five minutes after
the Jewish threat was given, the cops sent in specially trained riot
police to restore some peace and order to the area around the bus.

Eden's friends and family described him as being a shy, kind hearted
and modest Jew, who was returning to his Jewish roots and as a person
who would not harm a fly.

Eden had been carrying out a stubborn struggle over recent months
against his draft into the IDF during the disengagement period. He
repeatedly pleaded with IDF recruitment officers not to draft him.
Nobody listened. He was drafted. He continued to beg and cry to be
relieved of duty so as not to carry out the "historic crime." Nobody
listened to his plea. He ran away from the army on three seperate
occasions and sat in jail in two of those instances in his battle to
be free from participating in the disengagement expulsion plan.

Voice of Judea Commentary:

Who is the real killer here? Who forced Eden to join the IDF and to
violate his conscience? Who armed him, in spite of his repeated
warnings? How many other Edens are out there who are torn and
tormented over the role they are being forced to play in the
disengagement?

This tragic incident should serve as a wake up call to Sharon to
return to his senses and to permit the people of Israel to decide
their own destiny. This incident should prove to all of us that
Sharon can't force a majority of Israelis who are opposed to the
disengagement to carry out what they feel to be his treasonous dirty
work. This incident should serve as a wake up call for Sharon to
listen to the pleading of the majority of his nation and of his
soldiers? Somebody needs to listen to the soldiers and to hear their
pain. It is very easy to threaten jail terms to soldiers who refuse
to serve now and it is easy to condemn Eden.Even Eden's neighbors in
Tapuach are distancing themselves from him.

Eden was no more than a small pawn in a satanic chess game. Eden and
those he killed were the first casualties in Sharon's sadistic
disengagement plan. What will it take for Sharon to listen? If people
are not allowed to democratically vote against his horrific plan,
there will no doubt be other tormented souls who will speak through
their rifles. Sharon - wake up and postpone the disengagemnet until a
referendum is held. In the meantime, listen to your soldiers and free
those who wish to be released. To vote in an independent referendum

One other point needs to be made: In the past there have been many
cases where Arab terrorists murdererd Jews and were protected from
angry Jewish bystanders. How many times have we heard the brave
policeman speak of a fair trial, law and order and all of the other
fine words to justify their protection of the Arab terrorists, often
at great personal risk to themselves. It is shameful that in a land
that calls itself a lnad of law, order and democracy that a mob of
criminals were permitted to carry out a pre-trial mob lynch of a
suspect. It is mind boggling to consider the police allowing this mob
to control the scene for hours. It is no less outrageous to consider
the fact that a doctor was permitted to participate in the lynching
ceremony to formally pronounce Eden dead.
