Day off in Ramot Menache and Haifa

Today I took my second day off to rest. I enjoyed a nice breakfast with the Fuchs family and afterwards I drove to Haifa to meet David Silver and his wife Josie. They are both Messianic believers and have a spiritual ministry. David and I were introduced to each other by a joint friend and wanted to get to know each other personally. We had a good conversation at a cafe. David took me to a nice viewpoint in Haifa where we enjoyed the sight and prayed together. On the way back I had lunch at a Druse streetfood place: pita with cheese, mint and olives - really delicious.
Israel is under shock after yesterday's terror attack in Ariel. A terrorist stabbed a soldier at a check point, stole the gun and shot another soldier and a Rabbi. The first soldier immediately died, the Rabbi died today and the other soldier is still in a serious condition. Israel is under shock. As always each victim of an attack is honored in the media and people get a lot of background information. The first victim, the 19 year old Gal Keidan, was a gifted musician and played in an orchestra in Beer Sheva. The 47 year old Rabbi Achiad Ettinger was a father of 12 children. You find all details on the news portal of YNET, which we also read regularly: https://www.ynetnews.com/home/0,7340,L-3083,00.html
In Israel every single life is highly valued and honored and the whole nation is in grief when something horrible like this happens. "Happens" is the wrong word, it is an active killing of innocent people. I would doubt that this new terror attack was in the Western media. 
I have now been here for two weeks, during this time countless rockets from Gaza were fired unto the southern part of Israel, to places like Sderot and last week there was even a rocket attack on Tel Aviv. So Israel has to deal with this terror all the time. The West is always quick to lecture Israel and to know better. We have to ask ourselves: what would we do, if rockets were fired on Berlin? What would we do if our towns would be threatened by terror tunnels and our children found balloons with explosives attached to it. What is really sad is that the Palestinians brainwash their children and implant hatred into the new generation like this terror display at a kindergarten ceremony shows:  https://www.memri.org/tv/gaza-kindergarten-terror-display
How much good could have been done for the people with the billions of Euros that flow into the Gaza strip and the Palestinian territories. I can just point to Golda Meir's famous quotation: "We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us."
