(68,868 posts)These Jewish Taliban were deployed deep inside the West Bank by the Israelis in order to make it easier to dominate. The same Israeli government that let's the price tag terrorists operate with impunity.

(6,171 posts)The murder of the baby is the worst part, but it's also pretty bad that the murderers (if even caught) won't get the same treatment that Palestinians get. In addition, collective punishment is one of the cornerstones of Israeli rule over Palestinians, but in this case, just because the murderers were Jewish, there won't be any collective punishment at all.

Army beefing up West Bank presence in anticipation of riots, after baby burned to death, apparently by Jewish arsonists; politicians from left and right denounce attack
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday forcefully condemned the arson attack on a Palestinian family in which an infant was burned to death as a horrific, heinous crime that is a terror attack in every respect.
Two homes in the Palestinian village of Duma, south of Nablus, were set alight, and the Hebrew words Revenge and Long live the king messiah were spray-painted on their walls, alongside a Star of David, overnight Thursday-Friday, apparently by Jewish extremists.
The child killed in the attack, Ali Saad Dawabsha, was 18 months old. The infants parents, as well as his 4-year-old brother, were all injured and evacuated to the hospital. The mother and toddler were in critical condition.
I am shocked by this horrific, heinous act, said Netanyahu in a statement. This is a terror attack in every respect. The State of Israel deals forcefully with terror, regardless of who the perpetrators are.
