The mother of one of the eight Jews killed by a "Palestinian" terrorist on March 6 Thursday bemoaned the state of the Israeli leadership.

According to the Israeli daily Ha'aretz, Rivkah Moriah, in mourning for her 16-year-old son Avraham, said:

"I feel we're now a nation of confused sheep without the level of shepherding that we need. Some of our spiritual leaders are great people. Our political leaders, I feel such pain when I see the distance between what we need and what we have."

Moriah expressed the hope that because the attack was aimed at Torah-observant Jews, the national reaction might include non-religious Jews being led to turn back to the Bible.

She supported a decision of the Israeli Foreign Ministry to use bloody photographs from the massacre scene to raise international awareness of the terrorism Israelis are suffering from.
