Video: Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg HY"D speaks about Chabad of Mumbai
In this brief video clip, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg HY"D (may God avenge his blood), who was murdered by Islamic terrorists in Mumbai, India this week, speaks about his work at Chabad of Mumbai:JPost editor David Horovitz adds:
Man's capacity to do the unthinkable to his fellow man continues to astonish and horrify afresh. Reconciling such brutality with the notion of an abiding divine presence remains unfathomable.Us or them indeed. Do we have the courage to fight and win this war?
But what must be fathomed and internalized - amid the mourning for Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, their murdered guests in a house of elevated purpose, and the hundreds more people slaughtered in the terrorist onslaught of the past few days - is the gravity of the threat to our most basic values, and the imperative to confront that threat effectively.
The premeditated assault on Chabad House and Mumbai's other soft targets is only the latest bloody declaration of war by the death-cult Islamists, seeking now to destabilize India, but ultimately threatening all of our freedoms.
To its abiding moral and practical detriment, much of the international community nonetheless shies from this reality, clinging to the self-evidently risible notion that there are specific, legitimate grievances motivating the murder, and that these grievances can be sated and normal service resumed.
In truth, of course, it's us or them. And the appalling "success" of this most recent, sophisticated assault on another free society, this latest benighted exercise in a campaign of global destabilization, exposes the incompetence of our defense.
The free world must first acknowledge the scale of the challenge, and then set in place the cooperative security, intelligence and legal frameworks to meet it.
For only then will all the other Gavriel and Rivka Holtzbergs, and all those among us who revel in the fragile, precious miracle of life, be free to enjoy it.

We have our martyrs. They've sanctified G-d's name as we all know from the story of Rabbi Akiva, the ultimate sacrifice is the hardest one. G-d took Gabriel and Rivka away from us but He will see to it their memory lives on through their deeds. The terrorists thought they could extirpate the Jewish presence in Mumbai with a cold blooded act of wanton horror. They are mistaken. The work of Chabad and what the Holtzbergs established, will continue. May G-d bless them and avenge them!
He is a real martyr, not like the mass-murdering, indoctrinated zombies who are obliged to kill and die for Allah.
Unless the evil of Islam is exposed, nothing will change...
Israel should formally petition India for the bodies of the dead terrorists...
they should at once be stitched into a pig's skin with it's entrails and catapulted into the sea for the sharks and other bottom feeder dwell..
it should be filmed and put on utube for all of the world to see...
hopefully those islamic retards that fear thier own invented HELL will be scared shitless..
of course of that doesnt scare them i'd suggest the taking out of the black rock via a nuke...
if that doesnt scare them you can always turn their cities into glass.
I am done being PC...
