Karnit Goldwasser

My heart goes out to all the Jews in Israel who have been suffering from the constant barrage of rockets ripping into their homes and destroying thier lives, I wonder if and why Israelis suffer from a form of Stockholm Syndrome.

In 1994, Hamas terrorists kidnapped, brutally tortured and murdered an (American) Israeli soldier, Nachshon Wachsman. Although I was only a junior in high school, I remember having special prayer services in school for him and women all over the world lighting an extra candle for Shabbat - for Nachshon's release. As we all know he was murdered by those savages. I had the oppurtunity to spend a Shabbat with the Wachsmans my first year in Israel. A rare oppurtunity - they were kind, caring, full of insight and inspiration.

A few years later I saw a photo of Mr. Yehuda Wachsman shaking the hand of Tyassir Natsche the father of one of Nachshon's killers. I was shocked. Who could possibly want to meet let alone touch the hand of someone who raised a monster that murdered his son? I am not here to pass judgment on Mr. Wachsman, as I would never know (and hopefully will never know) the pain of losing a child. The same for Karnit Goldwasser, my heart goes out to her, the unknown fate of her husband Ehud is understandably very painful for her and her family. Mrs. Goldwasser was on Fox and Friends this morning and she is going around the country on a mission to raise awareness of her husband and the other MIA's. She is appealling to the wives of the Hezbollah terrorists who captured her husband "wife to wife" they should help her in obtaining information on her husband and ultimately his release, as if they have some humanity in them. As if the wives are any better than their husbands. The women are breeding these terrorists.

I do not understand howthose who have suffered the imeasurable loss of a child or a spouse has the desire to reach out to those who have caused them the pain. The desires of Hamas and Hezbollah are no secret. They seek the destruction of the Jewish people, which include Mr. Wachsman and Mrs. Goldwasser. I hate to think that they believe there is any humanity or decency in these terror groups. I hate to think that Mrs. Goldwasser and Mr. Wachsman are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Many Israelis have suffered because of the actions of these savages. (It seems that Peace Now suffers from the syndrome) I hate to think what would happen to the State of Israel if others who have suffered, put a humane face on those savage terrorist killers.
