Rick Siegel Prespectives on Freedom and Liberty

It is a story out of some macabre circus of cult madness. Two French brothers have been held in Israel over the kidnap and murder of an Arab taxi driver in Tel Aviv.

To add to the madness Julian Soufir, 25 just moved to Isreal from France and only faces an order to be held for 10 days and his brother Jonathan Soufir, 21 for three days in the confessed premeditated murder of the Arab taxi driver and father of five.

Julian Soufir, who immigrated to Israel from France recently on the country’s “law of return” which allows Jewish applicants Israeli citizenship. It is not clear if the recently immigrated Frenchmen were citizens yet but they were granted a hearing where Julian clowned and played for the photographers as he heard he will soon be home with his family.

Julian Soufir allegedly went to Jerusalem to hunt for an Arab taxi driver to kill. In his premeditated plan he hired Tausor Karaki, a 35-year-old father of five children. It is alleged that Karaki was hired to drive Julian Soufir home to Tel Aviv where he lured the unsuspecting father into his apartment where Julian Soufir killed the defenseless man. The method is unknown to us at this time.

The body of Taysir Karaki was found at Julian Soufir’s apartment after neighbors reported the two brothers “acting suspiciously.” A suspicious story in itself.

The complicated story unwound through the remarkably candid confession of the Frenchmen who totally confessed to the whole premeditated crime. His behavior in court showed no remorse and he was having himself a great time – knowing he does no time.

It is no secret that the tension of French Islam and French Jews is at a peak. With over 6 million Arabs and 500,000 Jews the race crimes are rampant. Immigration to Israel of French Jews has skyrocketed in years. But this looks like the persecution felt by the French Jews is being resolved by moving to Israel to kill Arabs for the easier treatment afforded for that crime by the Jewish state. The silly Frenchman thinks he has a free ride to take lives and destroy many more. Does he?

If the situation were reversed, what would happen?

Our hearts are out to a family destroyed, torn, ripped in the heart as their lives will now be empty of the bread winner and moral direction they need. 5 children, a wife, cousins, uncles, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, nephews and more will be filled with the face of a laughing Frenchman who moved to a nation filled with hate to reap vengeance on their poor innocent lives.
