Hat Tip to Jewish Odysseus
Funny how we didn't hear from PETA, or any other animal rights groups when a group of Palestinians slaughtered a Sea Turtle while lookers on danced and shouted in glee at the macabre sight. Claiming that the meat is a cure for asthma (doubtful since science doesn't support it) and maybe they were a bit hungry, killing that endangered animal was cruel. As you can see from the video below:
Contrast that with this bit of environmental news.
Israel released 3 Sea Turtles to the wild after rehabilitation.
Three sea turtles were released into the wild yesterday from the fishing dock at Jisr al-Zarka, after being rehabilitated at the turtle rescue center in Mikhmoret. Fishermen and pupils from area schools were on hand to bid the turtles farewell.
The video gets a little rowdy (we're talking about school children) and noisy, but there is great joy in the air. The joy that comes with saving lives, not taking them. Even if the lives they save are turtles.
Watch video here
Palestinians kill life for selfish reasons. Israelis protect life because it is sacred to them. A big difference in the philosophies of the 2 people, isn't it?

Given the value arabs place on human life ...what chance does a poor turtle stand?
that says it all my friend!:)
Sure does, thud.
Culture matters.
Thud took the words out of my mouth. I've just been reading and writing about the horrific things the Arabs do to their camel jockeys (little boys) and sex slaves (little girls with tongues cut out)...the treatment of this turtle is par for the course. I can't bring myself to watch it. There is clearly a vast difference in the two people groups in the Middle East.
