Murderers for "neighbours"

From JPost 10 feb 2010, by JPOST.COM STAFF AND YAAKOV LAPPIN:

The terrorist who stabbed an IDF soldier to death at the Tapuah junction on Wednesday afternoon was a Palestinian Authority police officer from Yabed...



The IDF soldier was named as First-Sgt. Ihab Khatib, 26, from the northern village of Marar ...a logistics non-commissioned officer in the Kfir Brigade. [He] was waiting in his Sufa jeep in a queue of traffic when he was stabbed in the chest through an open window.

In the soldier's attempt to speed away, the vehicle overturned.

The PA officer, identified as Mahmoud Hattib, was then run over and lightly hurt by a local security officer from the nearby settlement of Rehelim. He was then arrested by police....
....The soldier is survived by a father, a mother, two brothers and three sisters. Several years ago, his uncle was killed in action. In the Second Lebanon War, his aunt was killed when a Katyusha rocket fired by Hizbullah hit her house.

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad denounced the attack and said it "conflicts with our national interests." [NOTE: no mention of ethics, morality or compassion for the murdered man or his family - just a concern for "national interests..."]...

[...and there's more murder from our "neighbours"]

...In December, after months of quiet in the West Bank, 45-year-old father of seven Meir Chai was killed in a drive-by shooting attack near the northern Samaria settlement of Shavei Shomron.

Chai was the fourth person killed by terrorists in the West Bank in 2009.

In March, two traffic policemen, Senior Warrant Officers Yehezkel Ramazreger and Chief Warrant Officer David Rabinovitch, were shot dead in the Jordan Valley, and in April, 13-year-old Shlomo Nativ was stabbed to death near his home in the Gush Etzion settlement of Bat Ayin.
