On the seventh day, the Lord rested—but that is a luxury that the Israeli Defense Forces can ill afford. This is the seventh day of captivity for the three kidnapped Israeli teenagers. Some well-meaning Jews have already compared them to the mainly Christian girls in Nigeria who were also captured by Islamist terrorists. The girls were taken on April 15th and have, so far, been in captivity for sixty-six days. Google rates the number of times that people re-tweet over time a particular hashtag. The maximum is expressed as 100. In May 2014, #BringBackOurGirls" was rated 100. Today, it is rated at nine. People have a really short attention span and lead busy lives. So far, "#BringBackOurBoys" and "#EyalGiladNaftali" register as 0. However, according to Hashtracking.com, #EyalGiladNaftali has been re-tweeted 1,500 times. Also, as Carolyn Glick has noted, the media has viewed the boys, not their captors, as blameworthy. The boys have been described as "settlers," "yeshiva students," members of "Gush Etzion." These are viewed as colonialist crimes.
