Otniel resident Mrs. Dafna Meir HY”D was murdered in front of her home in the Southern Hebron Hills community on the eve of 8 Shevat. The terrorist responsible for the heinous act, an Arab youth, explained his actions were influenced by PA (Palestinian Authority) television.

There are people who feel the IDF’s response to the many young terrorists, frequently Arabs youths who are 16 and younger, is too harsh. In fact, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-General Gadi Eizenkott recently stated police and soldiers do not have to empty an entire clip into a 13-year-old girl with a pair of scissors.

The prosecutor on Monday 13 Adar I filed an indictment against this young terrorist, 16, explaining in the indictment that after murdering the mother of six in front of some of her children he returned home, washed his hands and sat down to watch television.

One must question if this too was the influence of PA TV or perhaps more accurately, the result of the ongoing PA education which indoctrinates youths with a hate for Israel and its very existence, breeding the next generation of terrorists.
