Glorifying Terrorists
Seraphic Secret has a story which is quite distressing.
Recently The New York Times carried a review of a film called Hot House that goes inside Israeli prisons and examines the lives of Palestinian prisoners. We’re not recommending the film or the review. But we do want to share our feelings with you about the beaming female face that adorns the article. You can see it here.
The film is produced by HBO. So it’s presumably HBO’s publicity department that was responsible for creating and distributing a glamor-style photograph of a smiling, contented-looking young woman in her twenties to promote the movie.
That female is our child’s murderer. She was sentenced to sixteen life sentences or 320 years which she is serving in an Israeli jail. Fifteen people were killed and more than a hundred maimed and injured by the actions of this attractive person and her associates.

Great job Jack – and Seraphic Secret! – for exposing this. I continue to be disgusted by the media’s attempt to create moral equivalency between terrorists and victims. And I am revolted by their attempts to “humanize” the homicide bombers and their accomplices by showing their pictures, interviewing their families, etc. while not even so much as giving their victims a name. Thank you for putting the focus back where it belongs – on MALKI!
