The Hamas Terrorist Who Murdered My Father Is Being Released
(Jerusalem Post) Micah Avni - Nine years ago, my father, Richard Lakin, was brutally murdered by a Hamas terrorist on his way home aboard bus 78 in Jerusalem. Gunshots and stab wounds ended his life. If releasing the terrorist who murdered my father could save even one hostage from the horrors of Gaza's dungeons, I would support it. I am confident my father would feel the same. Yet the statistics are clear: released terrorists return to kill and many are responsible for the murder of thousands of additional Israelis. Among those previously released are the masterminds behind the horrific massacre of Oct. 7. We must demand that Israel confront terror with strength, enforce justice with resolve, and uphold the honor of every life taken.
