The Winnipeg Jeiwsh review has started to get referral hits from the website of the Toronto Star. This is because the Toronto Star on October 17, 2011 wrote about Canadian victims of the Palestinian terrorist,who in 1989 murdered Canadians, among them Winnipegger Fern Shawna Rykiss, when he took over bus. 405 en route to Jerusalem. The terrorist is one of 1027 being released in the prisoner swap in exchange for Gilad Shalit.

Specifically, the article written by Josh Tapper in the Toronto Star referrs to " Jeremy Feuer, a Winnipeg lawyer and childhood friend of Rykiss" who took a hard line in a statement in the Winnipeg Jewish Review.
“I am happy for Gilad Shalit, and his parents certainly do deserve a night’s rest after years of living with this nightmare,” Feuer said. “However, the terrorist who committed the atrocity on Bus 405 has shown no remorse. Although there is no capital punishment in Israel, I regret that he wasn’t executed years ago.”
The Star also quoted David Satran, a cousin who created a Facebook memorial page for Rykiss, who said Israel was trying to “save face” by orchestrating a deal for Shalit. “It’s easier to justify an action than an inaction.”
