A palestinian terrorist walks into a yeshiva and starts shooting at the young boys learning Torah, murdering 8 of the youngsters in cold blood before he himself is killed.
By the Sunday after the attack, not only are pictures from the scene of the attack available, but also pictures of all the victims.
If you are Perth’s Sunday Times newspaper, guess which picture you decide to include in your report of the atrocity?
The caption reads:
“Grieving: Fatima, centre, the mother of Alaa Abu Dheim, whom family members say killed eight Israeli students, is comforted by relatives.”
If they were that desperate to include a picture of the killer’s mother, why not include a picture of her hanging up Hamas and Hizbullah flags?
As my friends at Jewgle Perth note, here’s the picture they should have included.

Those women are obviously grieving over the Yeshiva boys’s deaths, that’s the message being conveyed by Perth’s Sunday Times.

One of the things I have been wondering is how come didn’t the boys return fire when the terrorists started shooting?
Because they didn’t have guns.
This is not a Yeshiva of 19-22 year olds in some community in Judea and Samaria. This is a Yeshiva high school in central Jerusalem.
