Palestinian TV Airs Show Praising Murderers of Israel's Fogel Family

There shouldn't be a story this year that should enrage you more than this one - where Palestinian television has aired a show that praises the slaughter of the Fogel family in Israel last year. Yes, you read that correctly - the Muslim murderers of five Jewish family members are described as a "hero and legend" by one's mother and aunt. Can you imagine a relative of one of these animals actually PRAISING the fact that a 3 month old infant's throat was slit wide open from ear to ear?

These are the people that are honored by our very own college students on our college campuses - these are the same people honored by Americans when they wear their little "fashionable" Pali scarves. These are the same people that take our U.S. taxpayer aid and use it to produce television shows praising the brutal murder of an innocent family of five.

The story comes from Haaretz.

Palestinian TV airs show praising Fogel family murderer


In weekly show dedicated to Palestinian prisoners in Israel, Hakim Awad's mother and aunt describe convicted perpetrator of Itamar attack as a 'hero and legend.'

Palestinian television aired an interview with the relatives of the Fogel family murderers earlier this month, praising the two cousins convicted with the brutal attack as "heroes."

The broadcast was aired as part of a weekly show on the Palestinian state-run station called "For You," which focuses on Palestinian prisoners incarcerated in Israel.

The show featured the aunt and mother of Hakim Awad, who along with his cousin Amjad was convicted of brutally stabbing to death five Fogel family members in an attack on their home in the West Bank settlement of Itamar on the night of March 11, 2011.

Hakim Awad's mother sent her regards to her son, proudly describing him as the perpetrator of the Itamar attack and that he was sentenced to 5 consecutive life sentences.

Awad's aunt then proceeded to describe her nephew as a "hero and a legend."

The unusual broadcast was reported by the Israel-based media watchdog organization Palestinian Media Watch

Late last year Amjad Awad was convicted of the murdering Ehud and Ruth Fogel, along with three of their young child-ren, Yoav, 11, Elad, 4, and Hadas, 3 months old, before fleeing the scene. His cousin Hakim was convicted a month earlier. Both men were sentenced to five consecutive life sentences by an IDF court.
