TOUGH Lennyn “Tough” The word “tough” has different meanings, and I am actually using it in more than one sense in this posting. The first meaning – difficult to deal with – applies to the video directly below. From “Jewish Voices on Campus,” it is exceedingly important and I ask you all to take the time to see it: https://youtube/watch?v=gAyFlByb64M (Thanks to those readers who sent this to me.) ~~~~~~~~~~ The second meaning I want to apply is slang, as in “You don’t like it? Tough.” Orwa Abd El-Wahab Hammad, from the village of Silwad near Ramallah, was killed by the IDF on Friday. Arab sources said he was 14, the IDF says he was 17. Born in America, he has lived in Arab villages in Samaria since he was a small boy. He was shot because he was about to throw a Molotov cocktail into on-coming traffic on Highway 60. A Molotov cocktail is a home-made incendiary device, serving as a fire bomb, that can set its target on fire. Thrown at a car, it could be lethal and might cause multiple deaths. Explained an IDF spokesman: “The forces fired immediately to neutralize the danger....” Now, partly because of this, we’ve got rioting by Arabs in certain parts of eastern Jerusalem for the third consecutive day. These riots have been encouraged by Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Zahar, who has told Palestinian Arabs in eastern Jerusalem to rise up against Israel and continue “resisting.” “The escalation [of violence] in the city is the solution to ‘Israeli aggression.”
