Discussion for article #224706
I love how TPM posts a photo (of a Palestinian throwing a rock) at the top of the article about the hideous killing of a Palestinian teenager. You know, how a story is framed makes a difference. In America, we are deprived of seeing the daily violence by IDF, IOF, police forces against Palestinians. The video of the recent brutal beating of an American high school student by Israeli forces was finally able to penetrate the bubble that our media has created around Israel.

What is the reaction going to be when the video tape of the American Palestinan teenage boy being beaten by what looks like Israeli solders,I see McCain and Graham are going to be on Face The Nation this morning see if this is brought up since I hear Israel will be the subject.
We will see .S
How many Palestinians were arrested by their authorities for the killing of the 3 Israeli kids? Iâll waitâŚ
âPresident Shimon Peres said Sunday that Israel would get to the bottom of Abu Khdeirâs killing and bring whoever is responsible to justiceâ
If the boy had been killed with an Israeli bomb, no investigation necessary.

I think they have arrested one, they list the name at the end of the article. But there have been bombings in retaliation. I have no idea if they were targeting anyone in particular or if it was just the generic âHamasâ that were being retaliated against.
Really this photo? Come on interns dig a little deeper in the archives and find something more appropriate.

SJK,
Israel started arresting Palestinians (plural) over a week ago for the killing of the 3 Israeli teens.
Your comment shows you are at least a week behind the news.

Those responsible for burning a child to death should face the most dire consequences. People who think that Israel are âgood guysâ are not paying attentionâŚthe behavior of the Israelis responsible for torturing a child to death is monstrous, and they have become monstersâŚno different than Nazis who murdered Jews 70 some years ago.

I see the media is walking very slowly on this situation,especially with the video of the beating.I see the Israeli representative was saying that the guards were under a lot of stress i.e the beating.the boy is under house arrest.
The difference is that the Nazis killed 6 million (70% of all the Jews of Europe). Since 1948, Israelis have killed 12,000 Palestinians and the Palestinian population has more than doubled.

What actions does Suha think the Palestinian authorities should have taken when the three Israeli teens were murdered?
Having Molotov cocktails thrown at one and having their co-workers injured does tend to cause stress. Or have you chosen to forget that part?
The boy should be under house arrest.
Oh, thereâs a slight difference. The Israelis prosecute their murderers, the Germans celebrated their murderers.

I have already seen references to those who beat the American as âdressed in Israeli Uniformsâ, as if they were mere actors.

Itâs about time for the Jews of Israel to consider excommunicating the âextremistsâ who are violent, arrogant and who are actually bringing about the destruction of the state of Israel while claiming to be protecting it.
No one on earth needs extremists, and certainly not those who claim justification in their religion. Judaism is not a religion the promotes or even sanctions violence.
Kick them OUT.

remember just a reminder who these people really are
because they will never investigate who killed the 3 israelis
PALESTINIANS CELEBRATING AND DANCING IN 9/11
The Palestinians should start âprice taggingâ these killings. Once the Israelis figure out that three of theirs will die for every Palestinian, they will sit down at the negotiation table.
From the article:
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel would act calmly and responsibly in the face of rising Israeli-Palestinian hostilities.
âExperience proves that in moments like these, one must act calmly and responsibly, not hysterically and hastily,â Netanyahu said at the opening of his weekly Cabinet meetingâŚ
âŚOvernight, Israel had carried out airstrikes on 10 sites in Gaza."
Who shall I believe, Netanyahu or my lying eyes?
