Israeli Fogel Family Massacre Update: Murderer Gets 130-Years Behind Bars

After being convicted of brutally murdering an Israeli family of five, including slashing the throat of a 3-year-old baby, 18-year-old Hakim Awad was sentenced in military court Tuesday to five consecutive life sentences and five additional years in prison; totaling the next 130 years behind bars.
The Palestinian teen and his cousin accomplice Amjad Awad, who still awaits his verdict, have shown no remorse for their slaughtering of the Fogel family at the Itmar settlement in March 2011.
Awad Cousins: Hakim,left, and Amjad, right.
In June, Awad told reporters of the Jerusalem Post that he does not regret his actions, and would do them again: “I’m proud of what I did and I’ll accept any punishment I get, even death, because I did it all for Palestine.”
Awad showed the same coldblooded self-affirmation when leaving court Tuesday, raising handcuffed wrists to motion the “V” sign for victory with his fingers, as photographed by Hagal Aharon of Ynet news:
During the horrific attack 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. The Awads went to the parents bed, stabbed the father to death and then shot the mother after stabbing her multiple times as well.
Ynet News reports that at trial, Awad and his defense attorney Read Erda justified the Awad clan’s actions as a result of “the occupation:”
“‘The prosecutor mentioned that the murder of a baby is a cruel and harsh act but all murders are harsh – no matter whether it’s of a baby, a young person or an adult. We’re all human beings and our blood is the same. No blood is more red than another.’
Erda enraged the judges when he claimed that the defendant was as much a victim as the Fogel family was. ‘When you build a Jewish community among dozens of Arab communities and do not provide it with the necessary security you can expect this to happen.’”
Because Awad was underage when he committed the crime, the death sentence was never considered. Hakim Awad was also convicted of weapons offenses and various other security offenses.
The verdict on Amjad Awad is expected later this month.

not going to kill him…. those fools think that is martydom, Maybe each morning he should have

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 7:31pmThis is the attitude of the Arab/Muslims and we as Christians are asked to turn the other cheek. If we do that then what happens? Turning the other cheek is not the answer. Goodness does not lay in the Muslim heart. They are conditioned from birth to death that killing is their hobby. They know nothing in this world except how to kill. If not Jews and Christians then each other. They hang children for the sport and hide bombs in their girly skirts and kill even their own who happen to be in the area of the bomb. They have no remorse and pervert their minds to believe that they have the same God as Abraham. They are condemned before they are born and their father is none other than Ishmael the bastard. Put them in a glass cage for the world to gaze upon as a plague. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will burn them forever in the lake of ethereal fire. Muhammad is a murderer and a prophet of satan.

Posted on September 13, 2011 at 7:28pmIt’s simple, a “religion” whose god preaches hate and death to unbelievers defies any culture’s logic and should be shunned by moderate Muslims and the rest of civilization. However, the Koran must be reinterpreted by those who have the authority so as to change the direction of their radical followers.

But, if history repeats itself, the next time some Israeli is taken captive, or the family of the soldier they‘ve been holding for so many years needs to know he’s alive, the PLO will negotiate with the Israeli’s to have them released, and they’ll come home to a victory party , and become heroes to Hamas!

It would be interesting to see these two in ten years…if they make it that long.

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 3:57pmYou are correct! Noone seems to want to discuss this double standard. What these men did was terrible and they deserved the sentence they received. However; that doesn‘t bring back this family and it doesn’t prevent further attacks like this from occurring in the future. This is a continuous action taken by those that support the Palestinians. They truly believe that the ends justify the means.
What is going to happen when there is a vote on Palestinian statehood? We will either have a “legitimate” terror state or people continuing to commit these types of attacks because they want to help the “poor Palestinians”. If the Palestinians would spend as much time making good lives for themselves as they do engaging in violent acts they would have very few hardships. Add the “arab spring” which has shown violent undertones towards Israel and Iran to the mix and we have a toxic mess to deal with.
