Get used to that ...

It is highly regrettable that those three innocent kids were murdered in cold blood ... to seek vengeance is wrong but understandable ... to seek justice is proper ...

I expect to see wrong but understandable ...

And I hurt for their parents. Its probably so quiet because the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is so politicized.

And this is a classic escalation in a cycle of violence. It humbles me, and it seems the region is rapidly deteriorating. As I type this, hearing that Israel has retaliated. And so we have more Jews and Arabs dying. Pin drop indeed.

that adequately describe the senselessness of this killing. There is no commentary that adequately describes the loss of these young lives.

A 14 year old boy was recently killed during Israeli "raids". That came up on a google news search by the way.

Was that a hidden trump card?

Jordan made the mistake of giving Palestinians their own state, within their borders.
Palestinians went to work trying to take over that country.

Jordan expelled the Palestinians rather quickly.

Hamas and other radical Palestinians are never taken to task for their violence, and when Israel does, the "Pilgrims to Arafat" continue to excuse Palestinian violence.

Been crazy busy this weekend with various matters and haven't kept up with the news. Just heard about it from your post.

Your post was the first that I've heard of it. I fully expect Netanyahu to take advantage of some other headline grabbing crisis to go medieval on the Palestinians.

how DARE they get upset?

that I favored it or not, why did you make an assumption?

I have a vagina and I am a worker -- my mind is on other things today, sorry.

:crickets:

Is there a link? I knew they were kidnapped.

I share your pain for these kids and their families, if that is what you are getting at.

But, IMHO, I think you might be a bit off-base trying to use this atrocity as a sort of point on some political scoreboard. For one thing, I think it is unseemly to use the deaths of three young people as fodder for some sort of competition. But, more important, it seems a little distorted to rely on this sort of point when, in fact, the damages done by Israelis to Palestinians over the last decade or so (for example) outnumber those done by Palestinians to Israelis, in category after category, by anywhere from 6 to 1 to over 10 to 1.

Really, if you want justice, you should work toward an immediate two-state solution that the vast majority of Palestinians and Israelis would welcome, rather than trying to rack up sympathy points in a macabre sort of 'contest' where Israel is actually trailing by about 1 to 10.

I, for one, was not yet aware they were murdered. So far that is ALL I know, and I only have your OP as a reference. And yet somehow... what exactly? What the hell are you "just sayin' "?

is about every dead Palestinian kid. It's a form of negative dialectic.

I don't know what more you want especially with this major supreme court news coming out today.

but the IDF does things like this: http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2014/may/20/cctv-footage-palestinian-teenagers-shot-dead-video

What makes Israeli lives worth more, exactly?
