...On March 21, 1997, on the eve of Purim, Anat and her baby daughter Shani arrived at Café Apropo to meet with Anat's good friend Yael Gilad.
At 1:40pm, a suicide bomber entered the cafe and set off his bomb. Anat and Yael were instantly killed, along with Dr. Michal Avrahami, while 48 others were wounded.
Baby Shani, who was in her stroller, was saved. "Mom simply covered me with her body. It was more important to her to protect me than herself," Shani told Yedioth Ahronoth in an interview published two weeks ago.
Shani was only lightly wounded. Shrapnel from the bomb left two small scars in her leg and hand.
The first to notice her after the explosion was a man who came out of a nearby store. He got the baby out of the wreckage of the cafe and entrusted her to traffic policewoman Ziona Bushri who arrived at the scene.
The photo of the young policewoman carrying the baby dressed as a clown moved the entire country when it appeared on the cover of Yedioth Ahronoth.

Almost 18 years have passed. "I'm the baby from the Café Apropo bombing, and I'll carry that for the rest of my life," said Shani, who was raised by her father Micky. "I'm jealous of my friends who have mothers. I don't know what it's like to have a mother. On the other hand, I find comfort in the fact my mother saved me. That I was a part of her, and she protected me."

Baby from Apropo Cafe bombing is all grown up - and joining the IDF - Israel News Ynetnews
Sickening society, she cannot wait to kill herself. I pray 2015 is the year Zionist Israel will be dismantled.
It is certainly is way past time Palestine joining the ICC. Israel must be held account for her war crimes in Protective Edge, or at the least all steps taken to try to seek such accountability. Over 2000 Israel killed in Gaza, over 80 percent civilians unlawfully targeted and killed. Over 600 children were massacred by Israel. In close to 150 cases, Israel targeted civilian families killing 3 or more family members in these targeted attacks on civilians that are direct violations of The Fourth Geneva Convention. Zionist Israel is Nazi Germany of today and the global challenge for our world in 2015 is to see Zionist Israel dismantled as its clear she will never willingly abide by intl law. Israel has no legitimacy the state founded in 1948 is just one more occupier in Palestines long history and she will be destroyed as other occupiers have. A question remains, will it take another world war to destroy this evil regime that targets sleeping babies for death, over 600 in Gaza this past summer alone.
