Elli and Dinah

Rabbi Elli and Dinah Horovitz z\”l, Murdered by Palestinian Terrorists, Sabbath Eve, March 7, 2003.

Like most people these days, I keep close tabs on the news. On Friday morning, March 7, when I read on the Internet that a couple was murdered in Kiryat

Arba, my ears perked up because my cousins live there.

But so do about 7,500 other people. We were out all Saturday afternoon, and came home for a short time before setting out for an evening concert. But before leaving I had to check the news once again. There it stared me in the face. The murdered couple was identified. I screamed for my husband. \”Look, it\’s my [dad\’s] cousin Leah\’s son, Elli [Elnatan], and his wife, Dinah [Debbie]. They murdered my cousin.\”

Arafat’s Choice

Last week, as a Palestinian terrorist murdered 22 Israelis sitting down to their Passover seder, the Al Aqsa Martyr\’s Brigade became the first group affiliated with Yasser Arafat\’s Fatah movement to be added to the U.S. list of Foreign Terrorist Organization since the United States normalized relations with the Palestinian Liberation Organization after the signing of the Oslo accords in 1993.

Composed of Arafat loyalists, funded by Fatah through the Tanzim militias, and assisted in coordination of their attacks by members of Arafat\’s Force 17 security services, the Al Aqsa Martyr\’s Brigade has dramatically outpaced Islamic extremist organizations like Hamas and Islamic Jihad in attacks on Israelis.

A Hero

As The Journal went to press last week, word came that terrorist kidnappers in Pakistan had brutally murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

A Voice Silenced: Daniel Pearl

Up until the very last moment, the family of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl never lost hope that he would be released by his Pakistani kidnappers and return safely.\n\n

PFLP Kills Ze’evi

To the end, Rechavam Ze\’evi, murdered at the age of 75 by a Palestinian gunman on Wednesday, was a soldier in mufti. Alone among the Israeli generals who went into politics, he continued to sport his army identity disk around his neck. It was a statement: the battle for the Jewish State was not over, and one of its most aggressive commanders was still fighting.
