“The message I want to spread and which I have repeated to all those who have come to pay their condolences is to stop sharpening swords, and look for what unites us.”
– Natan Meir on the murder of his wife, a mother of six.

The widower of Dafna Meir, the mother of six who was murdered at her doorstep by an attacker, calls on humanity to “look for what unites us.” Israeli President Reuven Rivlin visited the family’s home this week and spoke with Meir’s grieving husband Natan. As reported by Canadian Jewish News:

“The message I want to spread and which I have repeated to all those who have come to pay their condolences is to stop sharpening swords, and look for what unites us,” Meir told the president, according to a statement released by Rivlin’s office. “We know the hatred well, enough of this. The true solution is love. I talk with my children each night, and I have not heard from them one word of hatred.”

Rivlin told Meir: “Your words go straight to the heart and reverberate around the whole country. These words should guide us all.”

Meir, along with his six children, planted a tree on his property near the spot where his wife was killed. The laurel tree translates to “dafna” in Hebrew.
