From www.camera.org/
The photo accompanying the June 27, 2007, New York Times'
TV-film review shows the pretty smiling face of Ahlam
Tamimi. The photo caption reads:
"Ahlam Tamimi in a scene from the documentary 'Hot House.'
Ms. Tamimi is among about 10,000 Palestinians being held in
Israeli jails."
However, the Times failed to inform readers that this
smiling woman is actually the unrepentant female terrorist
who smuggled explosives in a guitar case into Jerusalem and
helped provide cover for another terrorist who used the bomb
to murder 16 people, including 15 year-old Malki Roth, at
the Sbarro Pizzeria. Read below the moving words of Arnold Roth,
Malki's father, upon seeing the radiant photo in the New
York Times of one of his daughter's murderers.
The NY Times film reviewer, Neil Genzlinger, compounds the
whitewash of Tamimi with a smug dose of false moral
equivalence, portraying Israel's self-defensive
counter-terror measures as no better than Palestinian
terrorism against civilians, and trivializes it all as a
"cat and mouse... game":
"...by the end of 'Hot House' you may feel more than a
little annoyance at the two sides in this endless conflict.
These enemies know each other absurdly well. They learn from
each other, and talk openly about doing so. Yet they can't
seem to break the cycle: a cat and mouse addicted to their
own game."
There's no "cycle" of violence. Whenever Israel held back
from responding to Palestinian terror attacks, the violence
did not stop. The Palestinian terrorists continued their
violence against Israeli civilians and communities.
And it's not a "game" for Israelis to defend themselves
against brutal terrorists. In self-defense, Israel works to
destroy the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure, including
arresting/attacking terror leaders and their armed
followers. If the Palestinians put down their weapons,
there would be peace. If the Israelis put down their
weapons (or eliminate security checkpoints, as they have
many times done), violent Palestinian attacks would
escalate.

'That female is our child's murderer'
Arnold Roth emails:
Today's [Yesterday now. -S] New York Times carries 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. 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 www.kerenmalki.org/photo.htm
And remind them of what the woman in the Israeli prison - the woman smiling so happily in the New York Times - said last year. "I'm not sorry for what I did. We'll become free from the occupation and then I will be free from prison."
With so many voices demanding that Israel release its terrorist prisoners, small wonder she's smiling.
With greetings from Jerusalem,
Frimet and Arnold Roth
On behalf of Keren Malki
Note that I have audio of Arnold Roth speaking here, or in the player in the right side-bar.
