Did you hear the latest manufactured scandal? MK Tzvi Sukkot destroyed a Palestinian Authority monument that glorifies the terrorist Yaman Faraj, a jihadi terrorist responsible for multiple attacks that have killed and injured dozens of Jews. Of course MK Sukkot did the right thing. The outrage that followed only exposes the complete moral inversion we are living in, and the urgent need for stronger leadership.

Journalist Elhanan Gruner reported the monument to the IDF back in early July after ice cream was handed out to village children in Faraj’s memory at the monument. The Judea and Samaria Division commander promised to handle it. Days later the IDF claimed they couldn’t find it, while soldiers on the ground had already located the monument and were begging for permission to destroy it.

Prime Minister Netanyahu then criticized Sukkot for “taking the law into his own hands.” That response is exactly the problem. He should have said to the world: ‘You are upset about a monument celebrating a terrorist? Be upset about the daily terror and the PA’s pay-for-slay system funded by international money. Of course we will destroy these monuments. This is not a bureaucratic ‘taking the law into ones own hands’ issue, it is about removing evil.’
