Related: About this forumIsraeli mother of six murdered by terrorist in her home with kids nearby
A Palestinian terrorist stabbed to death Dafna Meir, 39, in front of three of her children at the entrance to their home on Sunday evening in the West Bank settlement of Otniel.The attacker then fled the scene in the South Hebron Hills and remained at large, as security forces launched a large-scale search.
It is the first time Palestinian terrorists have executed an attack inside a settlement since March 2011 when five members of the Fogel family were stabbed to death in their home in Itamar.
I want to give strength to all the children of the family. All of us are hurting and share in the painful grief. We will find the terrorist, and he will pay the full price for this heinous murder, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Meir, mother of six, worked as a nurse in the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba.

I just hope this atrocity isn't used as an excuse to make Palestinians suffer.

A Jewish mother is murdered in front of her 6 kids & there is more immediate concern about how Palestinians will suffer as a consequence. She was only a settler, right?
I just hope this atrocity isn't used as an excuse to make Palestinians suffer.
Sure, sure.... Israel looks for any excuse to harm or kill innocent Palestinians. The murder of this Jewish mother of 6 thus becomes yet another opportunity to Nazify Israel. Focus is therefore taken off the victim entirely while Israel is made out to be worse than the terrorist perpetrator of this most recent heinous act.
Once Abbas (and his Jew hating friends in Hamas) stop inciting, praising, and rewarding these loathsome, cowardly acts - and accept a 2 state solution - suffering on both sides will end.
Turning the other way & deflecting towards the evil Jewish Empire allows Abbas and his fellow Holocaust denying Jew hating thugs to have absolute impunity WRT these stabbings (inciting, praising & rewarding them) - which certainly won't stop the carnage. In fact, it only encourages more, which I believe is actually the point in some cases...

The killing of one innocent doesn't justifies the killing of another.

The Israeli government reaction to the recent Dawabshe murder proves that.
Once we see that kind of reaction from the PA or Hamas governments, peace will come.
