Lessons From A Monster
Posted by: Michael Medved at 2:34 PM

Twenty-nine years ago, Samir Kutar broke into an apartment in Naharya to attack a young Israeli family. After murdering the father, he killed the four year old by crushing her skull against a rock. As the mother hid from the terrorist, she stifled the screams of her two-year-old, accidentally suffocating the child.  

Now the killer has been released from his life-sentence in return for the bodies of two kidnapped, murdered Israeli soldiers—and the unrepentant killer is welcomed as a triumphant hero by Hezbollah.  

The episode shows the value of the death penalty, especially in cases of terrorism: an executed killer can’t be freed and then honored for his ghastly crimes. Second, the incident exposes the true nature of Islamic extremism, which glorifies a vicious monster whose only accomplishment in life brought death to three innocents in their own home.
