Dawabsha grandfather urges new intifada
Hussein Dawabsha says “those who burned my family should themselves be burned,” speaking to Hebrew language paper NRG.
His daughter, son-in-law and grandson were murdered in a Jewish terror attack when their home was firebombed on July 31.
Ahmed, a boy, survives.
Seeing the photo of suspect Amiram Ben Uliel, Dawabsha says he “does not believe in the Israeli courts. There is no law nor justice in Israel. It’s one big show,” he says.
Sitting at home, not far from the torched house of his daughter and her family, Dawabsha predicts: “They’ll probably say that they’re crazy, like they said about the killers of Muhammad Abu Khdeir. Nothing will happen. The Israeli court system, the State of Israel is a dark country. They will probably decide to put them in prison for several years and then release them. Instead of killing them like they killed my boy and my grandson.”
Israel has no capital punishment. Abu Khdeir was a teen from East Jerusalem who was kidnapped and burned alive in mid 2015.
Dawabsha praises the young terrorists carrying out car-rammings and stabbing attacks.
He urges attackers: “Only an intifada will avenge the death of the Dawabsha family. They should continue with more attacks, having faith in Allah. Only in this way we will achieve our rights.”
