Horror in Samaria: A terrorist infiltrated the West Bank settlement of Itamar, southeast of Nablus, early Saturday and stabbed five family members to death.
The shocking attack occurred around 1 am as the terrorist entered the family home and murdered three children aged 11, 3, and a baby girl along with their parents. The victims were apparently sleeping as the killer came in.
Itamar residents reported that shots were heard in the area; the terrorist managed to flee the scene.

Three other children at the home, a 12-year-old girl and her two brothers, aged 6 and 2, were able to escape to a nearby house and inform their neighbors of the attack.
The terrorist who carried out the massacre cut the fence surrounding Itamar and entered the home of the victims through the window, an initial probe of the murder showed. Authorities could not immediately discount the possibility that more than one attacker was involved in the murder.
'Toys next to pools of blood'
Following an initial report of the incident, large IDF and police forces rushed to the site. The Air Force also joined the effort to track down the terrorist, deploying numerous aircraft in the area. The night’s sky was lit up with flares, as special IDF and police forces were called in to assist in the manhunt.
The IDF Spokesman’s Office said “troops are scouring the area in search of the suspect. The IDF is performing inspections at all crossing points set up in the region.”

Magen David Adom ambulance service teams pronounced the victims dead at the scene. MDA spokesman Zaki Heller said the ambulance service got a call around 1 am and dispatched large teams of paramedics to the area.
“When rescue forces entered the house they encountered a very difficult sight...There were five people there who were hurt. We could do nothing but pronounce them dead,” he said.
Paramedic Kabaha Muayua was among the first responders at the site and described the horrific scene he encountered.
“We could not help the first four stab victims. Following an inspection of the scene I spotted an infant of about three who still had a pulse. We engaged in lengthy resuscitation efforts but had to pronounce him dead,” he said. “The murder scene was shocking. Kids’ toys right next to pools of blood.”
Paramedic Gil Moscowitz, who serves as MDA’s director of operations, said teams dispatched to the home discovered “parents and three children who were brutally murdered.”
“The parents were lying next to each other in their room…we found three bodies in the master bedroom; the two parents and a baby,” he said.
‘Government must back settlers’
Yesha Council Chairman Danny Dayan, who arrived at the site, appeared shocked by the brutal attack.
“This is no doubt one of the most terrible attacks in recent years," he told the reporters on hand.
“Words cannot describe the extent of the horror and pain,” he said. “Those tempted to think that the Palestinians ceased their acts of murder see that they do not shy away from any tactic and any Jewish victims, regardless of how young they are.”
“The time has come for the government to regain its senses and start backing up the settlement enterprise, which remains vulnerable on the frontlines,” he said.
The settlement of Itamar, which is surrounded by Palestinian villages, has been the site of murderous attacks in the past. In June of 2002, a terrorist entered the community and opened fire, killing Rachel Shabo and three of her seven children, Neriya, Tzvika, and Avishai. Yossi Twito, who commanded the local security team at the settlement, was also shot to death in the attack.

i could give countless examples of crimes against humanity committed by the IDF, but that is not the purpose of this thread.
that said, there is no excuse for this "terrorist"'s actions. just like there is no excuse for the apartheid state that israel has created.
i condemn this action just as strongly as i condemned the raid on the flotilla from 10 months ago.
look at the root cause instead of the outcome. if israel is interested in preventing future attacks like this then they will re-evaluate their policies. if not, this will happen again and again and again, and the palestinians will continue to be portrayed as monsters.
it is like when the US overseas interests repeatedly get attacked. the first thing that is asked is "why???" when simple self examination would reveal the motive. bin laden has stated ad nauseum WHY we are targets, yet we refuse to hear what he says. same as israel will always be victims until they acknowledge and change their policies.
"push me and i will resist. this behavior is not unique."
a death in the middle east will always have an avenger. americans and israelis do not look at it like this. look at the guy who was going to bomb W's home in texas 3 weeks ago...he was going to carry out the justice that the rest of the world felt was not needed for crimes that the rest of the world did not view as crimes......
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
By the way, when some nutter in America kills a family is he also labelled a 'terrorist'?
look at the fort hood massacre. he is called a terrorist, while the columbine shooters were not.
and that is a fact. sometimes people do not refer to eric rudolph or tim mcveigh as terrorists, and worse yet, some support what these two did.
strange standards we have here in the states..... :?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."

and everyone please watch. next time something happens where a palestinian does something like hurts of kills an israeli settler, the settler will claim victimhood. in actuality, israel would have more firm ground to stand on if they withdrew from the settlements and then some sort of attack happened.
this situation is like repeatedly picking or poking at a dog. after day after day of enduring that treatment sooner or later the dog is going to snap and bite you. only in this situation israel would blame the dog for responding the the initial stimulus of expanding the settlements...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
motivational differences??
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
israel responds by expansion ... gee, i wonder who really benefitted from those deaths ... surely it wasn't the palestinians ...
I find it absolutely fucking disgusting that Netanyahu instantly politicized this to Israel's gain. What a disgrace to the victims to so quickly capitalize on their suffering. Not to mention that moving so quickly with the settlement approval will obviously lead Israel's enemies' to implicate Mossad in the murders, further fanning the flames....cui bono, right?
Check these quotes:
"This is unfortunately the first time since the formation of the second Netanyahu government that new housing has been approved," said Danny Dayan, who chairs the umbrella group for settlers. "And it's a pity that parents and their children needed to be murdered for it to do so." The group called for many more houses on the West Bank, which many Jews believe is theirs by a promise from God. In Sunday's Cabinet meeting, Interior Minister Eli Yishai suggested a formula: "At least a thousand homes for each person murdered," he said.

I wondered about that too...the 'terrorist' vs 'murderer' label in the article. It is based on motive though, isn't it?
How anyone could kill anyone like that, let alone a child is baffling to me.
It 'seems that way' because it's convenient for it to 'seem that way' for him.
Like you said, the attacker hasn't been caught, so his motives remain unknown. But labelling him a terrorist automatically allows Israel to play the victim card again and expand it's racist Jewish-only settlements.
anyone see the CNN interview with Netanyahu? This is part of it,
I gotta say, The Israeli leader makes some good points, "it's not settlements, they are apartments", and it's land that Israel is going to keep anyway
and when Piers Morgan asks him about being in a position 'to be the big guy here' in regards to making concessions, Netanyahu responds "I'm pretty big" . Seems like a humble guy.
Sarah Palin visits Israel, will see Netanyahu
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42180141/ns ... _politics/
JERUSALEM — Leading Republican Sarah Palin began a private visit to Israel on Sunday, her first to the Jewish state, and planned to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and tour holy sites.
Palin, a 2008 vice presidential candidate, is a potential White House contender in 2012 and a leading light in the fiscally conservative Tea Party movement.
"As the world confronts sweeping changes and new realities, I look forward to meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the key issues facing his country, our ally Israel," Palin, who flew in from India, said in a statement on her website.
Israeli media described her trip as a bid to show support for Israel, whose standing is strong among U.S. voters, and gain more experience in international affairs ahead of a possible presidential run.
Palin, who is keeping her supporters guessing on whether she will run for the presidency, made no comment to reporters on arrival at Tel Aviv's Ben-Gurion airport for the two-day visit.
The former Alaska governor has used lucrative television, book and speaker deals to emerge as one of her party's biggest stars since running as the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee. During that campaign she was criticized for a lack of foreign policy expertise.
Palin was scheduled to have dinner with Netanyahu and his wife on Monday after visiting holy sites in Jerusalem, including Judaism's Western Wall.
so let me get this straight....a POTENTIAL presidential candidate gets to go and represent our country and speak for us? hell, why not let donald trump do the same? or how about hulk hogan when he was going on late night talk shows talking about how he wanted to run in 2000...in my opinion, the diplomacy and policy discussions should be up to the people in the administration, not a chronic tweeter who has no idea what she is ever talking about. she has her own interests at the fore front in this situation...
