The woman in this photo is described in the rather silly ignorant accompanying NY Times review as "a former Palestinian newscaster" who "recalls the day she dropped a suicide bomber off at his target, then coolly went on television to report on the resulting bombing." She's now in an Israeli prison and thus is a subject of the film documentary the review describes.
The girl in these photos is one of the former newscaster's victims. Her name was Malka Chana Roth, and she was only one of many murdered in the August 2001 suicide bombing of the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem. But Malki's parents have made special efforts to keep the flame of their daughter's memory alive against, it seems, all odds. This webpage is one. This foundation is another. And this letter, published yesterday at Solomonia, is yet another.
... 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. The background is here.
Neither the New York Times nor HBO are likely to give even a moment's attention to the victims of the barbarians who destroyed the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem and the lives of so many victims. So we would be grateful if you would pass along this link to some pictures of our daughter whose name was Malki. She was unable to reach her twenties - Hamas saw to that.
Though she was only fifteen years old when her life was stolen from her and from us, we think Malki was a beautiful young woman, living a beautiful life. We ask your help so that other people - far fewer than the number who will see the New York Times, of course - can know about her. Please ask your friends to look at the pictures - some of the very few we have - of our murdered daughter. They are at http://www.kerenmalki.org/photo.htm ...
Read the rest here. And please visit the Keren Malki website. Lest we forget.
