"I will never forget you until the day I die" (Man mourns entire family murdered today by Arabs)
Maariv ^ | 02-05-2004 | Amir Buhbut and Uri Glickman

David Hatuel says at the funeral of his wife and four daughters killed in a terrorist attack on the Kissufim road Sunday. “I am alone now, my family is gone. There’s no one left”.

“I’m sorry Tali, I’m sorry girls, that I didn’t devote enough time to you. I will never forget you”—David Hatuel eulogized his wife and four daughters at their funeral in Ashkelon this evening. The five, Tali Hatuel, 34 and in her ninth month of pregnancy, and her daughters Tehila, 11; Hadar, 9; Roni, 7; and Meirav, 2 were killed in a terrorist ambush on the Kissufim road in to the Gaza Strip on Sunday afternoon.

The funeral procession was escorted by thousands, including President Moshe Katsav and Minister Effie Eitam. Tears were mixed with cries against Prime Minister Sharon and his disengagement plan.

“I love her so much, I miss her already”

“I miss them all so much”, David Hatuel cried. “On Thursday the girls drew me a picture which said: ‘Dear Father, we are so proud of you that you do so much for our family’…Tali, a woman of valour, all the responsibility was on her shoulders, everything important, she did, not me, just her”.

“I’m alone now, my family is gone. Not even one is left. Tali was in her ninth month, we were awaiting a son and wanted so much to surprise the family with the happy news. But now all is lost. I apologize if I hurt anyone, and I know I did”.

A grandfather’s cry

Tali’s sister Orit, said at the funeral that “people spoke of politics, but not Tali, she spoke of righteous women. Stories of the righteous. Tali, please ask God for a light out of all this darkness”.

Tali was a social worker who among other things took care of terrorist attack victims through the local council. The three older girls studied at a school in Atzmona where there father, David Hatuel is the principal. He was in Ashkelon at the time of the attack.

When Hatuel heard of the attack, he left the school and headed for home. When he arrived at the Yad Mordechai junction, his father-in-law, Shlomo Malka, stopped him and told him the horrible news. Hatuel was unable to speak since he heard of the attack, and the grandfather kept crying, Tehila, Hadar, Roni, Meirav, where are you?”

What is an appropriate response to this evil act?

Arafat dead?

No, better to capture Arafat and use him as a human shield, ala Arab tactic.

The families of the mutant terrorists need to be blotted out. Eye for an eye is justice. Before eye for an eye, the pagans took out ten eyes out to avenge.

I wonder if Arafat will call it a "terrible tragedy and the shooter should be condemned"...
when he speaks in English.

It's bad enough to bury a child.
But to add five grandchildren (one on the way)...too much to bear!

Book of Job time...

polar opposite in English)

Hey where is Ted "Honor the Dead" Koppel. He's a righteous Jew... where are the photos of the children and mother from the "religion of peace".

I mean the child in the mothers womb wasn't really a child anyway.. so that doesn't "count". So I guess just the post partum killing and the death of the mother are statistics that matter. Cause we just know that Israelis and Americans go out and try to kill as many women and children as possible. Riiiiight.??...

Let's just concentrate on the photos of the Iraqi prisoners... I mean Bush is evil, Republicans are evil, Halliburton is evil , Cheney is evil... Islamic terrorist are heroes, Palestinian bombers are heroes.. Gay rights activists are heroes, Politicians that raise taxes are heroes.. I can only bow my head and thank God my children are safe and sound this evening due to the rough men bearing arms and killing the slimy, ragheaded, camel humping b#tches that call themselves men.

If only the liberals would back up their beliefs and fight alongside their Islamic brothers. We can just have it out and see who wins.... barf!
