Each year, we visit our child’s grave on the day of her murder. And with the passing years our grief acquires fresh layers.
In 2011, we grappled with the travesty of justice that befell us via the Shalit Deal. This past week, we gathered at the cemetery with the knowledge that Hamas, the cult that dispatched her killers, has gone through a makeover.
Once considered a dire threat to Israel, Hamas is now overshadowed by the maelstrom of Iran’s nuclear threat and ISIS conquests.
Some experts even suggest that in comparison with the Gaza chapters of ISIS and Al Qaeda, Hamas is a less insidious brand of terrorism. Others don’t even see it as a danger to Israel, while still others embrace it sympathetically.

Frimet, my heart will always be broken and crying for you on the loss of your precious Malki, as it does for all of our family in our Home on their tragedies too.

I have said that we, as Jews, suffer too much in silence and in order for the world to take notice, we must cry out and mourn our losses as loud if not louder than our enemies - I know it is not our way, but I feel at this time that we should deal with the journalists - in the same way that the enemy does. Nothing else - not facts, not rational thinking and logical explanations - none of those work for us!!
