Teen Accused of Brutally Stabbing Israeli Fogel Family: ‘I’m Proud of What I Did’ | The Blaze

"Two Palestinian teens have been charged in the brutal, horrific death of an Israeli family."

"The Fogel family was attacked back in March. The two young Fogel boys, aged four and eleven, were stabbed, one in the heart, while the family’s 3-month-old baby had its throat slashed. During the attack, the parents were also stabbed while in bed. The father died of knife wounds while the mother was shot."

“I don’t regret what I did, and would do it again,” Amjad Awad told reporters in court, according to the Jerusalem Post. “I’m proud of what I did and I’ll accept any punishment I get, even death, because I did it all for Palestine.”

This story is incomprehensible to me. Are there Palestinians who actually defend this? Do most Palestinians find this reprehensible and if so, why are they not speaking out loudly against it? If they do, where are their voices?

How in the world can Israel be expected to give up its defensive border when living with neighbors who have this mindset?

I do not understand how anyone could advocate leaving the Israelis exposed to the likes of this.

They are 18 and 19yrs. old, and residents of the West Bank.

The men reportedly confessed to the March 11 murder, and military prosecuters say there is forensic evidence linking them to the scene of the crime, including DNA samples and fingerprints, Haaretz reported. The men were also charged with stealing weapons, breaking and entering, and conspiracy to commit a crime, according reports. They are residents of the West Bank town of Hawarta, located near Itamar, and have been connected to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Somebody should catch Obama coming off the golf course, and ask him what he thinks about this.

So has the Palestinian group that they are reportedly connected to, come out to denounce this or are they endorsing it as somehow justified? Does anyone know? I truly cannot fathom how anyone can be "proud" of slashing the throat of an infant. I am aware these people have "different" values, but this is beyond belief.

I understand they are frustrated by the continuous murder of unarmed innocent Palestinians including the elderly by Israeli soldiers but this is not the way to deal with it. How anyone could murder young kids like that is beyond me, just sick.

There's going to be a lot more of em dead in coming days, because they are charging the border. If they would stop attacking the IDF, the soldiers wouldn't have to shoot them. But, like these terrorist punks, they want to die for their cause. The family gets $2000 if they do.

This is so wrong, don't handle these situations with two wrongs being right. I hate to think that there will be more of this going on.

I'm sorry but i feel that anyone who kills a baby in the manner that the baby was killed, are just cruel heartless humans. Nothing will cease to ever change, as long as the two, are constantly trying to get even.

Israel is well known for their war crimes and blatant disregard for human life.


This innocent 66 year old man murdered in cold blood in his bed wasn't charging anything. Neither was the woman that they killed during a protest.

Israeli soldiers murder in cold blood yet again


Neither were these 6 journalists who Israeli soldiers tried to murder.
