Terror victim's
widow: Death penalty needed for terrorists
Baruch
Mizrahi's widow calls on government to allow death penalty for terrorists:
'They don't go to jail but to a 5-star hotel.'

Hadas Mizrachi, widow of Major General
Baruch Mizrahi, today referred to the sentencing
of the terrorist who murdered her husband and that of the terrorist's son, who
helped him escape the scene of the murder, calling for the death
penalty for terrorists..
"I was present at the hearing and it was clear to me [from the start] that they would receive life sentences. Unfortunately they were not sentenced to death," said Mizrahi, whose husband's murderer was released as part of the Shalit deal."The father was horribly cruel, and despite the fact that we were wounded, continued to shoot. And then what happens? The terrorists don't go to a real jail, but to the conditions of a five star hotel, and that's absurd. I hope the State of Israel begins to apply the death penalty to terrorists. This must stop. We are tired of it all. Both the physical and mental pain remain.
But we are a strong people and Israel is
going strong. I am grateful to the people of Israel.
"I had no question about whether to come to court [at the time]," Mizrahi added, "I asked my children not to come because I did not want them to see the murderers. I saw them in the terrorist attack and attending the hearing closed a circle, showing them that I'm still alive and raising my children three-and-a-half-years later. My children will continue their father's way of life: Baruch was a kind man and stood tall for the land of Israel and the people of Israel. The loss is heavy and it's still difficult for me without him."
Mizrahi's widow expressed concern about
fears of another Shalit deal. "It is clear to me
that there will be a revolving door here again. The terrorist [who killed my
husband] was already released in the Shalit deal. They know the method. Sorry,
but let there not be another release of terrorists. We will continue to fight
against it. I call on the government to allow the death penalty for the
terrorists.
"It disappoints me that
the son received only 20 years and not life imprisonment, but that's what the
court ruled,"
Mizrahi said.
