Baby Adele HY"D's mother - 'Rivlin and Netanyahu never visited my daughter'

Adva Biton, the mother of terror victim Adele Biton HY"D, has blasted President Rivlin and Prime Minister Netanyahu for the different treatment accorded to the Arab family that was the victim of a terror attack in Duma than was accorded to her family.

“I don't recall President Rivlin, whom I have great respect for, visiting my daughter in the hospital after she was struck by a rock. I don't recall him calling for a public protest when Adelle was attacked. Something is wrong here.” Neither, she said, did Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu visit her in the hospital.

Three year old Adelle Biton was killed last March when an terrorists threw a rock at the car she was riding in as they drove along a road in Samaria. Five Arab teens were arrested in the case, and confessed to throwing large rocks at the Biton family vehicle. A large stone struck Adelle in the head, and she was comatose for nearly two months before waking with permanent, severe disabilities, passing away two years later due to medical complications.

On Friday, Rivlin spoke out against the arson attack last week in the village of Duma, in which an infant was burned to death, and four family members were severely burned. On Saturday night, Rivlin appeared at a rally in Tel Aviv denouncing the attack, which appeared to have been carried out by Jewish extremists.

But while Rivlin and other politicians were quick to speak out against attacks on the Arab population, attacks on Jews – especially religious ones – did not get top priority.

Indeed.
