Prayers for a rafuah shelema go out to our friend, Moshe Rafael ben Aliza Chaya, who was shot and wounded critically last night by Arab terrorists as he drove with his wife by the settlement of Kochav HaShachar.

In order to maintain our revitalized posture of military deterence, supposedly regained in the Gaza War, the Government of Israel must keep true to its promise and immediately respond by bombing the city of Ramallah and the Mukata, headquarters of the PA officials and henchmen who have authority over the Arabs in Judea and Samaria where the shooting took place.

It must be made immediately clear to Arabs, and to the world at large, that a Jew-killer is a Jew killer, whether he calls himself Hamas or Fatah or the head of the Palestine Authority.

Let the Government of Israel stand behind its mighty warnings and take up the cry of Rabbi Kahane, "Never again!"

Our jets must strike now at the killers in Ramallah! Otherwise, the cry will go out that "Jewish blood is hefker" and the Jews of Yesha will become the new shooting ducks, as were the residents of the south for the last eight years. G-d forbid.
