Debbie Schlussel – I was away in an all-day legal proceeding yesterday, but was outraged to learn about the brutal Palestinian Muslim murders of four Jews, including three Americans, in a synagogue in Israel. I was even more shocked and saddened to learn that my childhood friend, Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky, with whom I went to school and synagogue at Young Israel of Oak Park (in Michigan), was among the murdered. His parents and my parents were longtime friends as were our entire families, and Aryeh and I were in B’nei Akiva, the religious Zionist youth group together. We also attended Akiva Hebrew Day School together, where he was a grade or two below me. They were fabulous, nice, caring people, who later moved to Israel.

Those who were slain, three of whom were American citizens, were silently praying in a synagogue when they were suddenly ambushed by Palestinian Muslims who savagely, brutally hacked them to death with meat cleavers. That’s your so-called “Religion of Peace” for you. The victims’ only “crime” was being Jewish. And praying to G-d. Their murderers, as you probably know, were proudly celebrated by the Palestinian Muslim masses, Israel’s “partners for peace,” with whom Jews and Christians in Israel are told they must live and to whom the world says they must give more and more land and concessions in return for more and more savage, brutal hacking deaths.

And if you think this cannot or will not happen here, think again. It can, it will, and it already has. The 9/11, Fort Hood, and other attacks by Muslims on Americans will continue. Because the Palestinian Muslims with meat cleavers thirsting for Infidel blood aren’t just “over there.” They are here in our midst. They don’t just go after Jews praying in a synagogue or people in Israel. They go after everybody.

It bears strong mention that CAIR, the HAMAS terrorism co-conspirator that is the leading and largest organization of Muslims in America, did not condemn this sickening, vile, savage attack. Not a word. Nothing. Nor did any other American Muslim group of note. They think it’s fabulous, just as the Palestinian Muslims on the streets of Ramallah and Gaza do, that innocent human beings were hacked to death with meat cleavers while they prayed. They think it’s justified. And they would celebrate if it’s done again. So, the next time you hear CAIR giving lip service to phony condemnations of ISIS beheadings and the 9/11 attacks, ask yourself, what is different about an American having his head sliced off in Syria from four Jews in a synagogue praying and getting diced to bits as if they were onions being prepared for dinner?

There is no difference. The only difference is that these were Jews. And, so, in the eyes of CAIR and Muslims, their lives are worthless. Same view as Hitler. Same view as the SS. If you believe they actually feel sorry for Americans and others beheaded over there, you’re a fool. They don’t care. In fact, they think the lives of those murdered in the name of Islam anywhere are justifiable extinguishments.

I also want to note the recent actions of Akiva Hebrew Day School, where Aryeh Kupinsky and I both attended. All three of my siblings went there as well, and two of them graduated from the school. Akiva, the mission of which is to educate kids and to teach them to be proud pro-Israel Jews, honored Nolan Finley, the Detroit News editorial page editor, who brought Jew-hatred to the paper’s editorial page and who proudly published words justifying bloody attacks on Jews, like the attack on the Jews in the Israeli synagogue.

Finley made regular Detroit News columnists out of Imam Mohammed Elahi, the former spiritual leader of Ayatollah Khomeini’s Navy, and Dawud Walid a/k/a Delano Anthony Willis, Jr., the Michigan chief of HAMAS CAIR (the group which the Obama and Bush Administrations and a federal judge say is an unindicted co-conspirator in HAMAS terrorism). Both of these individuals regularly wrote vicious anti-Semitic hate on the News editorial pages, and Finley proudly published them, saying that, “well, they have a following,” as his excuse. Uh-huh. So does David Duke. Why isn’t he a Detroit News columnist, Nolan? Walid has regularly praised Muslim killings of Jews, saying the Jews deserved it. He’s even delivered Muslim sermons and made statements praising Muslim killings of Jews back to the earliest times of mohammed, when there was no Israel. He also said that the Jews control the media. Elahi has written columns on Finley’s editorial page specifically calling out “the Jews” and praising savage attacks on them.

Finley also published the “work” of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist Mohammed Alomari on his editorial pages, despite the fact that Alomari is the author of a book, “The Secrecy of Evil,” which claims the founding of America is a Zionist conspiracy (and that the Washington Monument is a penis and the Oval Office is its vagina), and he is the author of an article about how there were too many Jews in the Bush Administration. And when I got the John McCain campaign to remove Hezbollah agent Ali Jawad, a federally-convicted insurance defrauder, who praised Hezbollah’s attacks on the U.S. Marines and Embassy officials, and sold smuggled Hezbollah cigarettes out of his gas stations, Finley attacked me as a “nut” on the radio and praised Jawad as a “respected businessman.”

And it was even despite all this, that my and the now-snuffed-out Aryeh Kupinsky’s former school, Akiva, which claims to educate Jewish kids to be proud and to support Israel and the Jewish people, honored this cretin Finley who brought justification for this kind of hate and murder to the Detroit News editorial pages. When Akiva chose to honor Finley–instead of someone like Aryeh Kupinsky–I protested and called the school’s then executive director, Sidney Katz, to complain. I also contacted board members of the school, including a guy named Eugene Sherizen. They refused to do anything and had the chutzpah and the sickening mentality to give this enabler of anti-Semitic hate the “love of the Jewish people” award. Yes, incredible.

Related to this, I recently obtained (almost for free) a lot of expensive crafting items from Michaels, many of them for kids, and I wanted to donate them somewhere. I called a specific charity I usually donate to, for the Jewish refugees of Eastern Europe, but the charity isn’t around anymore, and I wanted to donate them somewhere. A friend said I should donate them to Akiva’s pre-school, and given what Akiva did with Nolan Finley, I didn’t want to donate there. But I wanted to get rid of the stuff from my apartment, so I did give it to Akiva, thinking I could prevail upon the school to do the right thing. No such luck. I received an e-mail from an Akiva official thanking me for my donation, and my response included this:

I must tell you that I did hesitate to donate to Akiva (where I attended through 7th grade and then briefly in 10th grade) b/c you honored Nolan Finley who has brought anti-Israel extremism to the Detroit News editorial page and made open anti-Semites into columnists. I was disgusted that Akiva honored him and I voiced my concern about it to many Akiva board members and officials, who did nothing and honored him anyway. But I’m glad you can use this stuff. I wish, though, Akiva would consider withdrawing this very horrible, unworthy, and totally inaccurate award to a coward who enabled Jew-haters.

Further, Nolan Finley attacked me personally in several media forums for getting John McCain to kick a convicted Hezbollah financier off of his Presidential campaign, saying he was a “respected businessman.” This is who Akiva honored.

The ridiculous response I got from the Akiva official:

Dear Debbie…It was very interesting to hear your viewpoint about a previous honoree..it’s good that the children [sic] Akiva’s early childhood center are apolitical (and too young to vote!)!

My response:

But it’s not good for Akiva to honor those who enable our enemies with “Love of the Jewish People” awards. I have to tell you that when that happened, I vowed to myself to never support Akiva. I gave these items, but that does not change my anger at this outrageous stupidity on the part of Akiva. Part of Akiva’s mission on its website is to instill pride in being Jewish and in Zionism and Israel. Honoring those who publish anti-Semitic crap and serve as apologists for Jew-hatred does not achieve this mission. It achieves the exact opposite.

I received no response after this.

This is the school which Aryeh Kupinsky, victim of Muslim hate, and I attended. The school enables those on American soil who praise and promote the Jew-hatred that took Aryeh Kupinsky’s life in Israel yesterday. I won’t be donating there again (unless the school wakes up and revokes its award to Finley, the promoter and publisher of Jew-hatred).

Aryeh Kupinsky’s life and those of the three other victims of yesterday’s brutal attack by Palestinian Muslims on Jews–and those of all the victims of these attacks by Muslims on Jews–has to mean something. It did mean something. And I expect Jewish schools, like Akiva, to wake up to that and stop honoring those who publish and promote Jew-hatred. Sadly, that isn’t happening. They aren’t waking up. They are honoring those who promote this hatred on American soil and give it a voice.

Akiva Hebrew Day School owes an apology to Aryeh for honoring Nolan Finley. It owes an apology to all of the victims of Tuesday’s attacks and the attacks before and since. But don’t hold your breath for that to happen.

On top of that, the unelected Jewish Community Relations Council of Metro Detroit, an unrepresentative politburo of far-left stereotypical Jews who deign to speak for me and the other Jews in the Detroit area, refused to condemn the murderers or even point out who they are because it might offend Muslims. Beverly Phillips, an idiot Va-JINO (female Jew In Name Only) of Jewish Community Relations Council, said it’s “terribly sad and really horrifying that innocent worshipers were so barbarically attacked and actually slaughtered in their synagogue.” Note that Ms. Phillips and her organization voted down a resolution condemning Palestinian terrorism. They didn’t want to offend Palestinians, Muslims, and everyone else with whom they are in bed.

That this group refuses to condemn Palestinian Muslim terrorism and the Muslim community’s celebrations of it is no surprise. The Jewish Federation of Metro Detroit, which funds the Jewish Community Relations Council, recently honored self-hating Jew and Va-JINO Betsy Kellman. Ms. Kellman, when she headed the Michigan Anti-Defamation League (ADL), said that “the real terrorists” are Orthodox Jews and that she’s afraid that Orthodox Jews in Detroit will commit terrorism against Detroit’s “peaceful” Muslim community. She also honored a Hezbollah lawyer who is the nephew of a Hezbollah official, and she regularly joined CAIR’s Dawud Walid in press conferences at mosques, attacking Homeland Security for enforcing immigration law against Islamic terrorists. And she spoke at an event with Tariq Ramadan, a HAMAS supporter who called Israel “the enemy of allah” and who is the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.

This is what Jews do to honor and enable these murderers. So, why are we surprised that these murderers continue to see us as weak and vulnerable and easy to pick off?

It also bears noting that Barack Obama, like the unelected Jewish body, in speaking of the attacks yesterday, tried to anonymize the attacks and the victims. He didn’t say the murderers were Palestinians or Muslims. He didn’t say the victims were Jews or in a synagogue. He said they were “victims” in a “place of worship.” Why did he do this? To whitewash Muslims and to whitewash what they do in the name of allah. To whitewash the tremendous anti-Semitism and Jew-hatred on the part of Muslims, a hatred which also targets Christians and Americans with equal vigor.

But Aryeh Kupinsky and the others were murdered by Muslims because they were Jews. Make no mistake about it. And make no mistake in thinking this was any different than what went on in the Third Reich. It isn’t. Except that it’s worse and there seems to be no end to it, nor any will on the part of any of the masses to fight back against it and stop it.

Aryeh Kupinsky, Zichrono LiVrachah [Of Blessed Memory–what we Jews say instead of Rest In Peace].

May G-d avenge his blood and those of the other victims of this Muslim pogrom against Jews.

(We at JTF love you, Debbie Schlussel!)
