Official PA TV News reporter: “Summary execution, this is the old-new custom of the occupation. Here at the junction of the Gush Etzion settlements that were built on the blood of the [Palestinian] residents.”
Terrorist Issam Thawabteh’s mother: “He told me: ‘I’m going to pray mother.’ I answered him: ‘Goodbye.’ He told me: ‘I’m going to pray’ and did not return. I thought that perhaps he went to his brother’s house. After an hour or two, they publicized his name on television. I, how shall I put it, lost my mind. In seconds he was lost to me. I do not know how I lost him. I went crazy. If he had told me, I would have gone with him.”
