The Slaughter Of The Fogel Family

On Friday night, two Palestinians entered the house of the Fogel family in Itmar and, using knives, slaughtered them:



According to YNET News, the al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade has claimed credit for this act. Moreover:

Gaza residents from the southern city of Rafah hit the streets Saturday to celebrate the terror attack in the West Bank settlement of Itamar where five family members were murdered in their sleep, including three children.

Residents handed out candy and sweets, one resident saying the joy "is a natural response to the harm settlers inflict on the Palestinian residents in the West Bank."

Palestinian media has condemned the murder on one hand, yet justified it on the other as a response Israel's "hostile policies" towards the Palestinians.

These people are animals. They need to be treated as such. Peace with these animals is not possible. They should not be receiving one penny in Western aid. And we should be giving full support to Israel to conduct whatever military operations they deem necessary to insure the protection of their nation.
