Terrorist stabs five family members to death in settlement of Itamar early Saturday; three children, including baby girl, among victims. Paramedic describes horrific sight, toys next to pools of blood.
The savagery of this attack is appalling. Let's pray that the IDF finds the terrorist(s) who perpetrated this atrocity before they kill another innocent family.
CONTENT WARNING: Photographs of the carnage.
These photos were released by the family. They have given full permission for their use and they to ask you to report on the horrific reality of murdering children and babies in their sleep, simply because they are Jewish.
These pictures made me physically ill, but the family is right. The world MUST see what is happening, and it's a sure bet that the "news" media will not cover a hate crime against Jews. For those of you who also have blogs, please help spread the word.
Solemn hugs to our annie for sharing this horrific story with us.
And thanks to aridog too.
ReplyDeleteYou know, we've had the TV news playing all day because of events in Japan, and NOT ONCE was this atrocity in Israel even mentioned. It makes me furious!
I saw this a little while ago in Drudge, but only because he linked to Reuters report of it.
ReplyDeleteThey were pretty ambivalent, making it seem as though Netanyahu's 'intransigence' in not unilaterally recognizing a terrorist-controlled 'Palestinian' state was somehow to blame for these brutal, sub-human murders.
I am sorry I looked at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThey enrage me enough to want to personally kill the sub-human who did this to children and babies.
Thank you Lady Red and Aridog for answering my call for help in spreading this story. It is so unspeakably brutal, even by Palestinian terrorists' "standards" that it is quite breath-taking.
ReplyDeleteThe most enraging thing, besides the dearth of coverage in the international media, is the stress on the "settlements", their legality or otherwise, as if housing for Israelis is the slightest excuse for barbarism on this scale.
But as if in answer to the terrorists, we have a new granddaughter today. I feel guilty feeling happy, but that's the strange reality we live in nowadays, all over the world.

ReplyDeleteGaza residents celebrate, hand out candy.
What a sick, sick culture.
I just sent a tip to The Blaze. Maybe they'll help give this story the outrage it deserves.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, congrats on the birth of a new grandbaby! Life goes on...
Annie, congratulations on the grandchild. I hope and pray she can grow up healthy, happy and safe.
ReplyDeleteI first saw this horrific story on thr BBC website yesterday, where the headline read:
ReplyDeletePalestian 'kills five Israelis' in West Bank.
They put kills five Isaraelis in quotation marks, WTF?
Too sad for words and I know I can't look at the pictures. My heart aches.
Mazel tov annie on the new granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteMazel tov, annie, on your good news. Something to brighten an otherwise grim week, certainly.
ReplyDeleteMazel tov, Annie. We will keep with the good news. Sub-human animals cannot hold righteous people down.
ReplyDeleteGood shall prevail. I know sometimes it is hard to believe that, but the more paragons of hatred do things of this sort, the more our resolve will be strengthened.
Congratulations on your new grandbaby, annie. I'm glad there is a new life to celebrate today.
ReplyDeleteWe had heard of this horror shortly after it happened. I don't even know what to type. My heart and prayers go out to the surviving family members.
Thank you everyone for the congratulations and the good wishes - and for the commiserations as well. And I give thanks to G-d that there are such good people as you out there in the big wide world.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the words from Ecclesiastes, "A time to weep, a time to be happy" are so suitable for this mix of feelings of mine that I used them for my own blog-post.
May better times come soon and prevail, Amen.
Annie, the story is front page news today.

Lady Red # 15 ....
ReplyDeleteExcellent ... the various Palestinian pigs understand nothing better than more settlements ... the loss of face is better than bullets at times. More is better. The USA was formed by settlement. They are a "message" that doesn't vanish when the shooting stops ... however briefly.
Beyond that, this whole episode reflects my firm conviction that Israel is the land enclosed by the borders at the end of the 1967 war war, re-affirmed in 1973. It is the "Manifest Destiny" of the Middle East ... and the whiners everywhere should just STFU.
Results count. Is there any nation in the ME that, sans oil (which the west developed for them), is more productive with less space? That contributes more to the world in technology and medicine?
All talk of "two states" within it are spurious and kick the can down the road ...every bit as much as any insistence that "Comancheria" should replace Texas and Colorado in the United States. There is one USA and there is one Israel within it's borders as settled by blood in 1967 and 1973.
The Israelis are too civilized to use the US method (it is what it was, and at times immoral) of "the only good X is a dead X."
There is no "two state" solution to be had within those '67 borders. This atrocity is a result of the weak kneed thinking about two state solutions by the West and by sundry Arabs and fellow travelers.
There are already "two states" within the original "Jewish National Home" and they are Israel and Jordan. Jordan comprising 75+% of the original land space .... notable that it is governed/ruled by Saudi Hashemite because perchance the originators knew the Palestinians were incapable?
Rant over ... periodic outburst are unavoidable. x( :-L
I probably should have provided at least a summary link to what Comancheria was ... and some history of it.
ReplyDeleteNo 2nd "state" exists within those boundaries today. The Comanches lost just as the Palestinians have on both sides of the Jordan River.

ReplyDeleteThe analogy for the "Palestinians" is the Sudeten Germans' position after the war. I cannot understand why the Izzies don't simply tell the world, "historically our land, a sliver returned to the Jewish People in '48 uniquely, by UN decree- and current IL boundaries reflect the outcomes of attempted Arab genocide since that time. Next question, please..."
The little baby girl was decapitated I read. Stories like this make me just want the planet to stop so I can get off. Maybe it would be better not to raise kids in a world like this. Im slowly starting to come to that conclusion. Maybe that was God's plan all along.
ReplyDeletemay they rest in peace

ReplyDeleteI actually think of 1967 and 1973 as Israel re-claiming the entirety of that land designated as "Jewish Palestine" in 1922, by amendment to the 1920 San Remo Accord giving all of "Trans-Jordan" to the "Palestinian" Arabs as "Arab Palestine." ... the original mapping is rather clear on the subject.
In other words, how do you say "fuck Off" in Hebrew? =)) :D

ReplyDeleteVery good!- and indicates a knowledge of history, utterly bereft as the MSM is of such facts.
Quite apart from the unspoken question that the MSM and so many savants choose to overlook: "Even if the "Palestinians" were given a state, what could one expect in five years (heck, two months)? A stable, multi-ethnic, democratic polity or... Syria? Perhaps Iraq?"
Earl ...
ReplyDeleteEven if the "Palestinians" were given a state, what could one expect ...
Gaza writ large?

@Ari:
ReplyDeleteI was being oblique. I reckon that that is exactly what one could expect- and no more. Having spent 45 minutes in Nazareth and a day in Jordan, that is as close to "Palestinian" Israel that I ever hope to come.
Earl ...
ReplyDeleteI know you were. Just as me thinking that a Potsdam arrangement where most Palestinians could be booted east across the river is perhaps facetious. Mainly because a great number were booted west across the same river when King Hussein grew weary of them.
Boils down to the fact nobody with an operating "state" wants them, and to date they've proven they are apparently incapable of forming an even quasi-state more modern than mere post-aboriginal themselves.
I mentioned the "Comanches" for a reason ... they were barely post-aboriginal, migrated south right out of the Wind River caves, with the re-advent of horses in North America, and yet they managed to contain themselves and not kill each other too often. Kiowa and Apaches were fair game, at times, as were Euro-whites. The last "leader" (at best a quasi office in the Comanche world) of remaining recalcitrant Comanches was the half-white, "Quannah Parker" ... who, once surrendered, managed to settle down and be quite entrepreneurial.
At one time I thought the Palestinians could do that, but I no longer give it any credence. Very unlike the Comanches, who had five major tribal sub-divisions, the Palis with but two political sub-divisions, have shown no governmental propensity.
Some better news emerges from the darkness. A supermarket chain owner, Rami Levy, has taken upon himself to keep the family supplied with food until the youngest orphan turns 18. The youngest orphan is only 2!
ReplyDeleteThat's the definition of a tzadik (a righteous person).
Meanwhile, the IDF and those eeevil settlers saved the life of a Palestinian baby at the entrance to the settlement where the shiva (7 days of mourning) is being held.
