The Simon Wiesenthal Center condemned the unconscionable, inhuman attack against 
the Fogel family, innocentcivilians who were brutally murdered on Friday night in their homes in Itamar in the West Bank. Murdered were parents Udi and Ruthi Fogel, Yoav, their 11 year old son, Elad, their four yearold son and Hadas, their 3 month old daughter.
"This should be a wake up call, particularly to the United States and the Quartet, that terrorism and hatred of Israel are the principal obstacles to Middle East peace," said Rabbi Marvin Hier,founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
"Where is the United Nations and the Security Council, always so eager to pass resolutions condemning Israel? When will they have the courage to pass the first UN resolution condemningIslamic terrorism and continuous incitement and hatred of Jews?"
