Subject: Boy Who Survived Jewish Terror Attack Does Not Know Family Died Mon Jan 18, 2016 3:49 am
TEL AVIV, Israel — "Where are my parents? Where is my brother?" Four-year-old Ahmad Dawabseh constantly asks his grandfather those questions — but his grandfather cannot answer.
That's because specialists at Sheba Medical Center advise the 51-year-old not to tell Ahmad that his father, mother and 18-month-old brother were killed by alleged Jewish extremists who firebombed their home five months ago. "Ahmad is a very smart boy and the hardest moment for me is when he asks me about his parents. How can I answer him? Where do I start?" Hussein Dawabsheh told NBC News as tears filled his eyes. The arson attack that killed Ahmad's parents and brother was one of the worst acts of what appeared to be Jewish extremism since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1947. On January 3, police said they had charged Amiram Ben Uliel with the crime after he confessed to throwing a Molotov cocktail into the Dawabsheh home in the Israel-occupied West Bank village of Duma.
