Itamar Terrorist Attack

Israeli family murdered in their sleep

The murderers of the Fogel family have still not been apprehended. Pray to guide the Israeli police to find them. Here are excerpts from an editorial by Caroline Glick, Jerusalem Post

Ruth Fogel was in the bathroom when the Palestinian terrorists pounced on her husband Udi and their three-month-old daughter Hadas, slitting their throats as they lay in bed on Friday night in their home in Itamar. The terrorists stabbed Ruth to death as she came out of the bathroom. Then they moved on to the other children, going into a bedroom where Yoav (11) and Elad (4) were sleeping. They stabbed them through their hearts and slit their throats.

The murderers missed another bedroom where the Fogels’ other sons, Ro’i (8) and Yishai (2) were asleep. The boys were found by their big sister, Tamar (12), when she returned home from a friend’s house.

In a rare move, the Prime Minister’s Office released photos of the Fogel family’s blood-drenched corpses. Maybe Binyamin Netanyahu thought the massacre of three little children would move someone to rethink their hatred of Israel. That was the theme of his address to the nation Saturday night.
Netanyahu spoke to world leaders who rush to condemn Israel at the UN Security Council. He demanded that they condemn the murder of Jewish children with the same enthusiasm and speed.

He shouldn’t have bothered.

The government released the photos on Saturday night. The website "My Israel" posted a short video of the photographs on YouTube. Within two hours YouTube removed the video.

Anti-Jewish propaganda is so ubiquitous and so murderous that killing the Fogel babies was seen as an act of heroism. The murder of the Fogel family was greeted with jubilation on the streets of Gaza, as Hamas members handed out sweets.
