At Malki's graveside on the 12th anniversary of the Sbarro massacre

...So long as we have the strength, we will continue to avail ourselves of whatever channels there are to put back behind bars the freed mass murderer who executed the killings at Sbarro. To paraphrase the Biblical injunction (Deuteronomy/Devarim 16): Justice, justice we shall surely pursue.

This afternoon in Jerusalem, commencing at 5 pm, the friends and families of Malki Roth and Michal Raziel will gather to mourn their lost lives. Frimet Roth, Malki's mother, will deliver a brief speech in Hebrew [text here]. The following is its translation into English.
...
Malki, know that even though we appear to be living so-called normal lives, celebrating happy events and laughing, the longing to be with you once again, to hug you, to kiss you as we so loved to do, remains tremendously strong. The pain that your murder evokes in us remains as heavy as ever, as deep as it was on that most bitter of days twelve years ago.

And now, during these past two years, an additional dimension to that suffering has emerged: the sheer injustice brought upon us by the state so loved by you, by Michal and by so many other victims.

On this difficult day, we have learned of an additional release of killers which our prime minister is very determined to carry out.

Forgive me for saying it this way, but justice – the justice to which you were so entitled – appears not to interest our current leaders.

Justice for you, Malki, was a most important value.
