Rabbi who lost wife and two daughters in terror attack: Killer a product of a broken culture

British-Israeli Rabbi Leo Dee, whose wife and two daughters were murdered in Friday’s West Bank shooting attack, recalls hearing of the attack.
“I called Lucy. No answer. I called Maia. No answer. I called Rina. No answer. Then I saw a missed call from Maia at 10:52,” he says in a press conference.
“I hadn’t noticed it ring. I hadn’t picked up the phone. The feeling that she’d called me during the attack, and I wasn’t able to speak to her, will come back and haunt me for a while. But alas, our family of seven is now a family of four.”
Dee says there can be no moral justification for murder, no matter the cause. He laments that the “innate ability to differentiate between good and evil has gradually been lost from humanity.”
His family’s killer, he says is “the product of a broken culture that doesn’t differentiate between good and evil.”
“Remember Lucy, Maia and Rina,” he asks.
ליאו די ששכל את אשתו ושתי בנותיו בפיגוע בבקעת הירדן, פנה בדבריו במסיבת העיתונאים למחבל: "מה יצא לך מזה? איזה ערכים אתה מעביר לילדים שלך כשרצחת את המשפחה שלי? אתה רוע טהור"
