Our girl was killed by a suicide bomber.. but it is the terror of Israel's occupation that 's to blame for her death

A BIG red "Free Palestine" sticker has a prominent place on the Elhanan family's front door.

But this is not a Palestinian house in the occupied territories.

Remarkably, this home is in an affluent Jewish area in Jerusalem and belongs to a couple whose daughter Smadar, 14, was killed by a Palestinian suicide bomber.

Rather than being motivated by revenge and hatred, Nurit Elhanan and her husband Rami, both 52, are fighting for peace.

They are campaigning for an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, calling it a cancer that is feeding terror.

Nurit, a doctor of language at Israel's Hebrew University, said: "No real mother would ever think of consoling herself with the killing of another mother's child.

"Israel is becoming a graveyard of children. The Holy Land is being turned into a wasteland."

Graphic designer Rami agrees: "If an Israeli child is killed and the next day a Palestinian child is killed, it's no solution.

"Our daughter was killed because of the terror of Israeli occupation. Every innocent victim from both sides is a victim of the occupation. The occupation is the cancer feeding Palestinian terror."
