Amit Segal<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\nTonight the facts became clear. A commander in the Israel Defense Forces calls on a 70-year-old citizen to help him map a fortress for fear that terrorists are hiding there. The citizen leaves everything and travels as he has done dozens of times, because in the place he came from and in the place he built when the state calls then they come, and sometimes they come even without the state calling because that's how it should be. He was killed during the mission. Unfortunately for the citizen, he wears a kippah and is a settler. For a day a fire of hatred rages. He is labeled as a death eater, an Indiana Jones-style adventurer, a man who caused a soldier to die, who seeks conquest and settlement in Lebanon. It is of course only a means. The goal is, of course, to blacken an entire public of lovers of the country and the people. Almost no one bothers to find out the facts. It takes an extraordinary degree of vileness to dance such a wild dance on blood, and in the end signal once again that hatred of people and hatred of facts often go hand in hand. The only consolation is that in our current world a lie has legs, but the truth also runs fast.<\/div>\n\n
