Otzma Yehudit MK Limor Son Har-Melech revealed on Tuesday that she woke up to the news that the terrorist who murdered her first husband Shuli, H’yd, was released as part of the hostage release deal – without being officially notified by any official state authority.
Har-Melech, who serves as the deputy chairman of the Knesset’s Constitution Committee, revealed the painful news to relatives of hostages during a committee meeting.
“Journalist Elchanan Gruner called me this morning and told me that my husband’s murderer, who also injured me, was released in recent weeks as part of the deal,” she said. “No one informed us about this. I listen and understand and I’m in pain in a way that I cannot describe to you. It’s a very complex situation.”
She then added: “The question is what are we building on for Hamas to return the remaining hostages? They are not willing to return everyone. If we had been wise enough to use all the pressure points to demand everyone, we could bring everyone back.”
In August 2003, during the Second Intifada, while Har-Melech was seven months pregnant with her second child, she and her husband Shuli Har-Melech, H’yd were returning to their home in the Shomron, when five terrorists opened fire on them. Shuli, H’yd, was killed instantly and the car rolled over. Limor was critically injured and her daughter was delivered prematurely by C-section several hours later.

How does someone in the Knesset not know who is being released?
She rightly so should be miffed & disgusted by the turn of events, and not having been notified up front.
Of-course the savage shall have to spend even more time in גהינום to make up the unfinished prison time in this world, & there, there shall be any conditioning nor TV.
Crazy israeli government. They don’t care about justice. They use their soldiers without caring for their lives. No wonder smart Chareidim refuse to join an army led by leftist elite. Just tonight there were loud rallies with fires burning in jerusalems Chareidi areas.
This is all because of the Lunatic Left which has been in control of this country since its foundation and up to the present.
These loonies are against the death penalty because all “progressive” modern western democracies are against it and they want to be “progressive”.
Pathological lunacy.
If we had the death penalty there would be no terrorists in prison and Hamas would have no reason to take hostages to release them.
Today they are in a win-win situation: if they are killed, they get their virgins and if they are taken prisoner they end up in an Israeli prison which is second best and almost as good. In both cases their families receive a generous stipend for life.
Also, our neighbors are laughing at us because they see our reluctance to implement the death penalty as a sign of weakness, cowardliness and just plain stupidity. They do not hesitate to take full advantage of our stupidity.
They are laughing all the way to the rocket launchers.
It’s time to make them stop laughing!!
