24-Oct-13: Dead terrorists: how many are being delivered?

Israeli authorities agreed Thursday to return the bodies of seven Palestinians killed by the Israeli army, a Palestinian official told Ma'an. Salem Khelleh, an official in charge of a national campaign to return the remains to West Bank families, said Israel would deliver the bodies to Qalqiliya on Nov. 5. Khelleh told Ma'an the names of the seven deceased Palestinians: Ahmad Yasser Saleh from Asira al-Qibliya - Nablus; Ayat al-Akhras from Dheisheh refugee camp - Bethlehem; Sami Bsharat from Tammun - Jenin; Majdi Khanfar from Silat al-Dhahr - Jenin; Mohammad Mustafa Shahin from Doura - Hebron; Ahmad Ayed al-Faqih from Dura - Hebron; Mahmoud al-Qawasmi - Hebron. Before the bodies are delivered to their respective families, Khelleh said, they will be taken to the medical center at al-Quds University for DNA testing. Israel's decision to return the bodies comes in conjunction with the US-brokered peace talks with the Palestinians.

Al-Masri, the young religious fanatic from a wealthy Palestinian Arab family who exploded his guitar case inside the Sbarro restaurant on August 9, 2001, murdering 15 people including our daughter Malki, is not named in Ma'an's seven (see the background here).

Michael Dar said...: Interesting to note: That small phrase blows 2 Fakestinian myths; al-Masri indicates the family's obvious origine "Egypt" and that "weathy family" proves that poverty and dispair is not the main reason for terrorism but well religious fanatism!; Saturday, October 26, 2013

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.

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.
