Islam sees Judaism as degenerate and wicked. Could have something to do with Arab Jews, who were populous and powerful before they were all slaughtered by Muhammad’s command, rejecting Muhammad’s claim that he was a prophet.

How did they catch these six murderers so quickly? It's because they weren't "settler extremists", they were known soccer hooligans.

The real reason why this is not the correct response is not that the Arab kid was innocent, let alone that his parents were — they very probably were not. The real reason is that death doesn’t deter the Arabs; they welcome it and celebrate it, when it comes in the course of a war such as they are conducting. They see this kid as a shahada, and praise him rather than mourn him. They will never stop killing Jews just because some of them will also be killed.

The correct response to Arab murder is to make them pay a price that they actually mind paying, and that is the permanent loss of more territory. In retaliation for these murders, Israel should annex the whole Gush Etzion. And a new policy should be announced, that for each Jewish victim of terrorism, Israel will permanently annex more land, which will thus not be negotiable in any future talks.

How is this different than what ETzeL and LeHI did during the Arab violence in '36 and the mid-'40s, when they bombed Arab markets in retaliation for Arab bombs in Jewish markets? Why is the son of an ETzeL fighter promoting the discredited policy of havlagah, which his father and his colleagues dissented from back then?

A poll conducted after the murder of eight teenagers who were studying in a Jerusalem high school in 2008, found that 84% of Palestinians supported the murder [NY Times, March 19, 2008, citing the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research].

… The terrorists honored most highly amongst Palestinian society are those who have killed the greatest number. Abd Al-Baset Udeh, killer of 30 at the Passover Seder massacre, had a soccer tournament for 14-year-olds named for him. His brother was honored with distributing the trophies. Dalal Mughrabi, terrorist bus hijacker (led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history in 1978, when she and other terrorists killed 37 civilians, 12 of them children) has had summer camps, schools, graduation ceremonies and sporting events named for her, as well as many TV documentaries honoring her. Palestinian newspapers also frequently glorify Mughrabi, as in the Al-Ayyam article which described Mughrabi as writing “the most glorious page of heroism in the history of the Palestinian struggle. [Aug. 2, 2009].

In the death cult called Islam, the murder of a Jew is no crime. In fact, it is an act to be celebrated. The Western media is fully aware of this, yet is too timid to call it what it is.

Are you saying you see Judaism as degenerate and secular?

Good grief!

Murdering Jews is justified under the doctrines of collective and inherited sin. They are the basis of a degenerate religion which is exploited to create leverage. Unfortunately, this secular religion is all too common in the modern era.

No. In fact, they threatened more kidnappings.

I have complete confidence that the Israeli government will punish the kidnappers of the Israeli Arab teen. Also that if the Israeli police reacted with more than needed violence in the arrest of the Florida teen they will be punished severely.

Unlike the Hamas run Gaza strip Israel is not a medieval death cult.

Has there even been one casual but official statement from any one of the Palestinian groups or officials condemning the murder of the 3 Israelis/Americans? Typically some low key, almost sotto voce sentence is uttered and the media runs with it to represent the whole. I haven’t even seen that in this case yet.

But rest assured the media will use the killing of the one Palestinian as broad evidence of Israeli aggression, too.

So biased.
