15-Jun-06: The "resistance" turns to snatching teenage girls

Three Palestinian Arab men from Jenin, all of them armed with pistols, try to forcibly grab and kidnap two Israeli teenage girls waiting for a ride at a hitch-hike post near Nablus this afternoon. The men's heroic attempt to achieve a glorious military victory for the liberation of their oppressed sisters and brothers is foiled when one of the girls (pictured at right, in a Jerusalem hospital accompanied by her mother) fights them off despite suffering head injuries at their hands, and the other runs faster than they can, eventually using her cellular phone to alert security forces.

The girls are both 14, which may explain why the Palestinians found themselves outnumbered, outsmarted and out of business.

It's not yet clear whether the Nablus three, currently being interrogated by the Israeli military, will be officially registered with the Palestinian authorities as martyrs.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
