(Reuters) - A Jewish couple and three of their children were stabbed to death in bed in a West Bank settlement in what Israeli officials said Saturday was an attack by one or more Palestinians who broke into their home.
Israeli troops set up roadblocks and were searching the area around the Jewish religious settlement of Itamar, near the Palestinian city of Nablus, for the killer or killers.
In a televised speech, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed shock that the parents and three of their children -- including a baby -- were "brutally murdered on Sabbath eve while sleeping."
Netanyahu, in what appeared to be a warning to settlers not to launch revenge attacks, urged Israelis not to take the law into their own hands after the killings.
Israel has been loosening restrictions on the movement of Palestinians and goods in the occupied territory but maintains a system of roadblocks and checkpoints.

Palestinians Celebrate Massacre of Jewish Family
Hey, let's celebrate our hero baby killer: Palestinian hands out sweets to Hamas policemen in Rafah
Islamic depravity hits bottom. Keeps digging:
Rafah residents hand out candy following massacre of Jewish family, three children in West Bank settlement of Itamar.
Gaza residents from the southern city of Rafah hit the streets Saturday to celebrate the terror attack in the West Bank settlement of Itamar where five family members were murdered in their sleep, including three children.
Residents handed out candy and sweets, one resident saying the joy “is a natural response to the harm settlers inflict on the Palestinian residents in the West Bank.”
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said he “clearly and firmly denounces the terror attack, just as I have denounced crimes against Palestinians.
“We are against all types of violence,” Fayyad said during a tour in Bethlehem. “Our position has not changed. As we have said many times before, we categorically oppose violence and terror, regardless of the identity of the victims or the perpetrators.”
IDF and security forces have been scouring the West Bank area since late Friday night, and have arrested 20 Palestinians from the villages of Awarta, Zababdeh, Sanur and Siliya. The IAF employed unmanned aerial vehicle in an effort to search for the suspects.
The Hamas movement accused the Palestinian Authority’s security apparatus of arresting three of its activists near Qalqilya and Jenin.
“The report of five murdered Israelis is not enough to punish someone,” said Hamas Spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri, adding, “However; we in Hamas completely support the resistance against settlers who murder and use crime and terror against the Palestinian people under the auspices of the Israeli occupation soldiers
Palestinian children are still made to 'celebrate' the Ramallah Lynchings today..
This degenerate, ghoulish behaviour, which almost defies belief is, in fact common practice by the Palestinians after murdering Israeli Jews.
The most well-known example was the Ramallah Lynching in 2000, where two IDF soldiers unfortunate to stray into the wrong area were killed and disembowelled in the streets by mobs of screaming Muslims.
To this day, the iconic image of the man holding up his blood-soaked hands to the crowd below him outside the police station where the slaughter took place, is still re-enacted by Palestinian children celebrating the event.

Palestinians Hand Out Sweets in Celebration of Massacre of Jewish Family -
Truly fucked up stuff but not very surprising. The Palestinians are known for this type of ghoulish behavior. They openly celebrated 911 as well. Yet our U.S. Government still gives them $Millions in American Tax Dollars. What a Foreign Policy. It's so sad.
Israel buries its dead.
Israel mourns its dead.
Udi's brother Motti said: "All the slogans about Torah and settlement, the Land of Israel and the Jewish people try to make us forget the simple and painful truth:
You are gone. You are gone and no slogan will bring you back. Above all, this funeral must be a private event. Udi, you are not a symbol or a national event. Your life had a purpose of its own and your horrid death must not render life into a vehicle.
You are my brother and shall remain my brother."
Minister Moshe Ya'alon attacked the Palestinian Authority over its anti-Israel incitement. "The murderers, if they'll be jailed, will be recognized as heroes and they will be honored by (Palestinian) schools. Such acts are routine with our neighbors.
Rabbi Yehuda Ben Yishai, Ruth Fogel's father said: "We shall not bid you farewell. You shall come visit us like pure angels."
Rafi Ben-basat, a childhood friend of the father Udi Fogel said that "the family is going through a very difficult time; we are trying to encourage them and give them strength. This was a barbaric act that only animals are capable of. It is time for the nation to sober up and tell its leaders to stop the concession for concession system.
There is a lot of pain. Israel opens the border at the behest of Obama and this is what happens. Obama urges Israel to open Gaza borders, so Israel begins by opening West Bank borders.

This is what happens. It's not like we do not know what these Arabs want to do with us.
The principles of the Hamas are stated in their Covenant or Charter
Following are highlights.
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.
"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "
"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."
"After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying."
The charter is a rather classical Islamist document, applied to the local issues. It declares that Jihad (in the sense of armed battle) is the only solution. It cites the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a ludicrous anti-Semitic forgery.
The "Zionists" and the freemasons and others are blamed for what Hamas and radical Islamists see as the major calamities of the world, especially the French Revolution.
One of the most ominous aspects of the Charter however, is this Hadith:
Moreover, if the links have been distant from each other and if obstacles, placed by those who are the lackeys of Zionism in the way of the fighters obstructed the continuation of the struggle, the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah's promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:
"The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Muslim).
The implication is clear: Allah promised that the Jews will be murdered, and the Hamas "aspires to the realisation of Allah's promise, no matter how long that should take."

We know. They tell us.

They are very clear.
I agree. But what I find interesting is that there was an immediate political spin put on this story. Is there any proof at all that these killings were politically motivated?(Reuters) - A Jewish couple and three of their children were stabbed to death in bed in a West Bank settlement in what Israeli officials said Saturday was an attack by one or more Palestinians who broke into their home.
Israeli troops set up roadblocks and were searching the area around the Jewish religious settlement of Itamar, near the Palestinian city of Nablus, for the killer or killers.

You know, when people say "How can anyone defend this?" my first inclination is to find a way. Needless to say, I don't have enough information on this one. Maybe there is something we don't know. Somehow i doubt it. I am more inclined to believe this is the evil of man at work again.
I just pray that no one does try to take the law into their own hands.
Could there be the possibility that there are psychopaths in every society and these killings, tragic as they are, were not the result of Israeli/Palestinian tensions but the result of a lunatic on the loose?

The initial findings of the investigation into the terrorist massacre in the Israeli town of Itamar in Samaria Friday night show that the Fatah ‘Freedom Fighters’ stabbed the Fogel family's sleeping three year old in the heart and slashed the throat of his three-month-old sister.
I prefer to stay with what we know.
The murders occurred.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, the armed wing of Fatah, the dominant political faction in the West Bank, said it had carried out the "heroic operation … in response to the fascist occupation against our people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip".

We give the Palestinians millions?
Really,who gets it and for what purpose?
The PA refused to issue a clear and unequivocal condemnation Saturday
Where is Israel's condemnation for a thousand civilians, including hundreds of children and babies, murdered in Gaza?
Is anyone else tired of this BS thats been going on now, which the U.S. is subsidizing to the tune of @ $2,000,000,000/yr. BTW, for the last 40+ years?

They have been the largest recipient of foreign aid. No other country compares. Add to that, they've been caught spying on the U.S. > once:Is anyone else tired of this BS thats been going on now, which the U.S. is subsidizing to the tune of @ $2,000,000,000/yr. BTW, for the last 40+ years?
as opposed to the money we've siphoned into muslim countries over the same period of time?
as opposed to the money we've siphoned into african countries for the same period of time?
as opposed to the money we've siphoned into latin america?
and israel troubles you?
damn, what's wrong with my side of the aisle on this issue?
it's retarded.
Thats extortion and they resumed building the illegal settlements too. Now all the conservatives are up in arms against that Army Private. Well? Should the U.S. release him too?Israel is seeking the release of an American jailed for life for spying for the Jewish state in return for concessions in the renewed peace process with the Palestinians, including the extension of a partial freeze on the expansion of settlements in the occupied territories.
Not at all. One understands the history and accepts the acts. Understanding lends legitimacy.This is how you "understand" what happened to the Israeli family. Surely they did not deserve their fate, and I feel for their family.
