May I, through your letters pages, express my outrage at the barbaric murders of members of the Fogel family in Itamar, Israel, on March 11.

Udi and Ruth Fogel and three of their children were either stabbed or had their throats slit in their own home.

Apparently four of them were sleeping at the time.

What kind of human being could do such a thing?

Only one filled with hatred could do this, and I just hope that every person who has a shred of humanity about them will totally condemn this despicable act of utter barbarism.
