Michael Palmer, Asher's father, sent Arutz Sheva a letter in which he asked to publish his request that the Israeli public to come and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the family at the next hearing in two weeks.
"In the previous hearing, approximately 20 supporters of these terrorist killers sat in court, encouraged them, and shouted cries of support," Palmer explained. "My other son and I, just the two of us sitting alone, represented Asher, little Jonathan and all the victims of terror in Israel."
"You can imagine the pain we felt when we saw the murderers receiving vocal support for killing my son and my grandson, and we were alone," wrote the bereaved father.
Palmer informed Arutz Sheva that the next hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m., on March 11, at the Ofer military base. The hearing is open to the public, but everyone entering the court has to be cleared by security first.
Those interested in supporting the Palmer family in court should email Michael Palmer by March 6 at mcpfiveone@gmail.com, so that he can submit the names to the army for security clearance.
Asher Palmer, 25, from Kiryat Arba, and his son Jonathan, a one-year old, were murdered five months ago while traveling on Route 60, near the village of Halhul, north of Hebron.
Arabs hurled large stones at Palmer's vehicle, one of which smashed through the window and struck him in the head. Palmer lost control of the vehicle, which rolled of the road killing him and his son.
I contacted Asher Palmer, HY"D's father, Michael, asking for details, as I myself would like to go there and show support. I also contacted certain friends of mine who are showing interest. Please let's be there as a group; this is our chance to effect a change and awareness of the terrible situation on our roads in Yesha. This is what he sent me, below; no excuse not to go, there is public transportation, it is a public hearing, it is in the Jerusalem vicinity - all it takes is MOTIVATION!
After being firebombed less than a week ago in Beit Umar, watching the bus I was sitting in catch fire, smelling the petrol, and seeing the impotence and deliberate neglect of these life-threatening situations by the IDF, I am more than motivated.
Please join us, and let us report publicly on what happened at the hearing.
Shabbat Shalom.

ReplyDeletei blame the isr gov't far more and beyond the arabs... they and their sick policies make these murders of jews possible... they are to blame and they need to be held accountable and be brought to justice... the leaders of isr and those sic and truly sick so-called and self-appointed jewish "leaders" here in the u.s. and around the world have the blood of all these martyred and maimed jews on their hands... in fact their precious jewish blood oozes out from every pore of these despicable cretinous slime... one day... sadly probably not until moshiach comes... one day they will all get theirs and when that happens we will all rejoice and thank Hashem for their downfall will be such a relief for all of us... we the decent and loyal jews of am yisroel... and when this happens... everyone will know that Divine justice was done and that they have received that which they so richly deserve and have so thoroughly earned... shavua tov by the time u get this...mosh.out...
Of course you are right. And not only the GOI. How about the UN, NATO, and all the others behind it, among others the US, now on Israeli soil, threatening us unless we do their bidding. Will send you an article by Ann Bayefsky, which confirms everything I have been saying, about a sword hanging on Israel if she dares defend herself. How about the US nukes surrounding us? How about US troops on Israeli soil? How about the mercenaries? Etc, etc, etc,.
ReplyDeleteStill, we can't let those animals hurt that family without responding.

..."At rock bottom, the president’s interview makes one claim more poisonous to Israel’s welfare than all others. He argues that if Israel uses military force against Iranian nuclear sites, then the timeline for any negative consequences will start with Israel — not Iran. Obama urges Netanyahu to think about “the profound costs of any military action,” places the focus on “potential unintended consequences” of Israel’s actions, and describes the move as libel to be a “distraction in which Iran suddenly can portray itself as the victim.”"
This agrees with everything I have said in the series "The Stench of Deceit".

ReplyDelete....This is ghastly. .....The authorities are allowing the friends of murderers into courtrooms to taunt the victims. ...
...those who are cheering on the murderers are being allowed into courtrooms. I don't even know where I live anymore.
