Mother of Mass Murderer: “My Son Was a Hero”
The mother of the vile mass murderer who slaughtered 9 people in Tel Aviv on Monday told Western reporters after the attack that she had no idea her son was planning such a thing.
But in this article at The Times, she says she’s proud of him: “Even though I am suffering, my suicide bomber son was a hero”.
“He was a hero and I am proud of Samir but I have suffered from his loss,” she said of her eldest son. “I have seen their soldiers killing our children and destroying our home, making everything bad, so how can I see them sympathetically or kindly?”
