Bereaved parents blame Arafat for daughter's death
In Betar Ilit West Bank mourners blame Yasser Arafat for the killing of 16 year old Shoshana Ben-Yishai. The U S born teen was killed by a Palestinian gunman on her way home from school after visiting her sick grandfather in New York. Her father Yitzhak calls for Israel to defend itself and says American pleas for restraint will not deter them. He spoke as the family observed the Jewish mourning week and described their move from New York to Israel in 1989.
