Critique of Israeli society’s complacency
Right-wing activist Ayelet Lash blames Israeli complacency for Bibas family's murder [GRAPHIC]
How dare we let the blood of the Bibas and Fogel families stain our hands through apathy, when every ignored atrocity fuels the enemy’s butchery? Wake up, Israel—our silence breeds massacres, and only unrelenting war can purge this evil!


If the Israeli public hadn’t closed its eyes to the cruelty of the Arab enemy, the Bibas family would be at home today.
The Bibas family's story gripped everyone in the gut because it’s the story of an entire family—of a mother and her babies.When people see pictures of the Bibas family surrounded by terrorists, they’re ready in an instant to wipe out all of Gaza and everyone in it. Because there’s a limit to evil, they say.
But the Israeli public—especially the media, which still filters reality for people—chose knowingly, all these years, to ignore our enemy, when it attacked other Jews.
Because it was about other people, far away, out of sight and out of mind. A direct path that led the Arabs to carry out a massacre against us.
Read this and understand exactly how we allowed the Nazis to grow strong instead of crushing them long ago:
Friday night, March 11, 2011. Near the Fogel family’s home in Itamar, where a Shabbat celebration was underway, Awwad and Amjad Muhammad Awwad, aged 18 and 19, waited. After the party ended and the family went to sleep, they entered through an unlocked door. Amjad stabbed Yoav, 10 years old, to death with multiple knife wounds, and together they murdered Elad, 4 years old, with stabbing and strangulation. Then they turned to the parents’ room, where Amjad fought the father, Ehud, overpowering him with repeated stabs to his neck and nape. The mother, Ruth, tried to resist, but she too was stabbed and killed.
After leaving, Amjad returned to the house to search for weapons, and when he heard the cries of three-month-old Hadas, he murdered her too with a forceful stab to her head.
The terrorists didn’t notice two other children—two-year-old Yishai, asleep in another room, and eight-year-old Roi, asleep in the living room. Then they locked the house from the inside, climbed out a window, and fled.
After midnight, 12-year-old Tamar, the eldest daughter, returned from a Bnei Akiva youth event and found the door locked. She heard two-year-old Yishai crying inside, but her knocks went unanswered.
She woke a neighbor. Together they roused eight-year-old Roi, asleep in the living room, and asked him to open the door. They entered and found her parents and three siblings drenched in their own blood. She and the neighbor pulled the two surviving brothers from the house. Two-year-old Yishai had likely woken after the attack and gone to his parents’ room, trying to rouse his slaughtered mother and father.
After that massacre, the Israeli public let the evil carry on undisturbed. Sure, they caught the terrorists, and they sat in Israel’s five-star prison. And that was it.
No revenge, no breaking of the mold, no declaration of war. We told ourselves they were lone, extremist attackers—not a nation of Nazis waging war against us.
We didn’t shudder or shake ourselves awake enough after the Fogel family massacre. Because they lived in Itamar, and it was kind of their fault, their problem, far away, and they’re messianic, and who told them to raise their kids there?
So we got 100 Fogel families across the sovereign State of Israel.
And even today, we’re right back to October 6. The security experts talk about increasing worker quotas for Israel instead of drafting a clear plan to expel the enemy.
If we don’t stand as a fortified wall against our leaders and demand total war against the enemy, we’ll get another 200 Bibases and Fogels on our heads.
