Ynetnews reports: Relatives of 18 terror victims, mostly from the wave of terrorism that began in autumn 2015, on Sunday issued an open letter to government ministers, in which they demanded a harsher response – deporting terrorists’ families.

“The real punishment the murderers deserve is death,” read the letter. “But Jewish compassion prevents us from using it. Therefore, we demand of the Israeli government to at least deport the terrorists’ families forever.”

The bereaved families stated that “the family that raised the murderer, educated him, and taught him to hate Jews and murder must pay the price, and not only because of the deterrence created by deportation.”

The open letter also stated that the families “are crying out and demanding that the Israeli government do everything it can in order to halt this bloodshed. Murdering Jews cannot be tolerated. A society that teaches its children that the highest achievement of all is to be a “martyr” cannot be tolerated. Families that encourage their sons to murder cannot be tolerated.
