"When the wicked perish, there is jubilation."
"Jubilation When The Wicked Perish"
An interesting debate is being conducted in some circles in Israel as to precisely how happy one should be at Arafat's demise.
One Biblical verse that has often been quoted of late is, "When the wicked perish, there is jubilation" (Proverb 11,10). A statement by the Tekumah party - a faction of the National Union - notes that the Talmud cites this verse in response to witnesses who fear that their testimony might help put someone to death. The judges tell them, "You will not be liable for this blood; it is rather a merit for you, to purify the world from evil and to add light and joy, as is written, 'When the wicked perish, there is jubilation.'"
Let the rejoicing begin and be heard throughout the land of Israel: Arafat's dead!
Hurray!
And he's not gonna be buried in Jerusalem in a Paleostinian state of his own making after having wiped the Israelis off the map either...not even close.
God is good and God is great!
With this mass murderer gone, the world's leading terrorist (not counting his "student" Bin Laden), has been removed from the world scene forever.
It may get wild in the "Palestinian" areas in the near future as they absorb the reality of the power vacuum Yasser's death leaves, but I predict that the PA/PLO will never be the same again.
And that is definitely worth jubilation of a high order!
Oh Israel, let the ululations of happiness and prayers of thanksgiving go up unto the heavens! (where Araf*rt isn't, BTW)
