While Israel mourns its soldiers, some turn the terrorist into a 'hero'

While Israel mourns an IDF soldier and a security squad member killed in a shooting attack in Samaria, the article attacks left-wing activists who it says call the terrorist a 'hero' and blame the settlers. The writer defines this as whitewashing terrorism and distorting reality, and condemns calls for the fighters 'invading terrorists' as direct service to terrorist propaganda.

While Israel mourns an IDF soldier and a security squad member killed in a shooting attack in Samaria, the article sharply attacks left-wing activists who it says turn the terrorist into a 'hero' and blame the settlers. The writer, Dana Varon, mentions Tom Zandman, a Democrat activist, who called the terrorist a hero, and Moshe Redman Avotboul who claimed the media is succumbing to the settlers' narrative. She defines this as whitewashing terrorism, distorting reality, and harming the fighters and bereaved families. The article claims that calls for IDF soldiers and security squads 'invading terrorists' directly serve terrorist propaganda. The writer concludes by expressing confidence in the victory of good over evil, using emotional and charged language.
