Itamar Slaughterers Found
Nadene Goldfoot
Two Palestinian PLO teenagers decided to slaughter a Jewish family on March 11th.  Amjad Awad 19 and Hakim Awad 18 from Awarta, an Arab village admitted killing the Fogel family in Itamar.  They have been arrested by the Israeli security forces.  Though they are but teenagers, they are members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).  They start young.  Six others were arrested for helping them in this act.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad verbally condemned the killings, but their people have learned to hate Jewish Israelis which these leaders have done nothing to turn about.  In fact, they promote the hatred by doing such things as celebrating murderers by naming places for them.  There were Palestinians who even claimed that their people wouldn't do such a thing, but who else would have, logically?  They constantly blame the Israel occupation for every evil act they do. 

They seem to forget that Jordan "occupied" Judea and Samaria before and they weren't as nice as Israel has been, besides the fact that they didn't keep trying to kill Jordanians in reprisal, which affects whatever has been a discomfort for them.  Herb Keinon points out that countries have been occupied before and the occuppied didn't do dastardly acts such as hacking a 3 month old baby to death or sending out women suicide-bombers or firing anti-tank missiles at school buses with the goal of killing children, either. 

There can be no justification for such horrendous murders.  Yet the Director General of the PA Ministry of Detainees & Ex-Detainees justifies all this and demands that those Palestinians being detained by Israel be released.  Detainees are people who have committed some heineous crime such as murder.  Chutzpa is something they have no shortage of. 

How different life would have been if the Palestinians in 1967 who were living in Judea and Samaria under Jordan would have continued their life when under Israel and would not have continued to attack Jewish families for the last 44 years.  They would have had all the pleasures as any other community in Israel and in the United States, most likely.  By all this hatred and unacceptance of a Jewish State being thrown at Israel, the Utopia they pictured did not come about.  It was not meant to be, obviously.  Between the antagonistic Gazan Palestinians of Hamas and the PLO of Fatah in Judea and Samaria, Israel has had its hands full.
