A joint ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) IDF operation on the night of 8 Shevat resulted in the arrest of a minor from Beit Amra, near Hebron, on suspicion of murdering Mrs. Dafna Meir, in Otniel, on 7 Shevat.
During his ISA investigation it arose that during the period preceding the murder, the minor had watched broadcasts on PA (Palestinian Authority) television in which Israel was portrayed as, “killing Palestinian young people.”
On the day of the murder, while under the influence of the programs he had been exposed to on Palestinian television, the minor decided to commit a stabbing attack with the goal of murdering a Jew. Given the proximity of Otniel to his place of residence, he decided to commit the attack in Otniel.
Upon reaching Otniel and discerning Dafna Meir, the aforesaid minor stabbed her several times and fled the scene.
ISA officials point out “the harsh result of the attack underscores yet again the severity of the threat posed by the wild incitement being carried out against the State of Israel and Jews in the Palestinian media, which influences lone attackers to commit murder and other serious acts of terrorism”.

I have forwarded this petition and signatures and comments to the Jewish and Pro Israel organizations listed below, and to more, to get together if needed and finally concretely insist the Obama administration do more than EQUAL BLAME or Mere Condemnation of Palestinian Incitement while the US annually sends hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinian Authority. This has been going on a long time – so the Time Is NOW!Please call these up – it didn’t seem to be enough for me to send a petition with signatures and comments to get a response!
