Three Israelis found guilty of Palestinian teen's murder

[oberliner]

Two Jewish minors were found guilty on Monday of the 2014 murder of a Palestinian teenager in Jerusalem, but the Israeli court held off on formally convicting a third man accused of orchestrating the crime, pending a psychological review.

Prosecutors said the three had confessed to abducting, bludgeoning, strangling and burning Mohammed Abu Khudair, 16, in revenge for the killing days earlier of three Israeli youths by Hamas militants in the occupied West Bank.

1. A horrible event that will not soon be forgotten. I would ask when the terrorists will have their

houses destroyed for this cowardly act, but I don't believe in destruction of property in good old right wing zionist fashion.

May they spend the rest of their days contemplating how lucky they are to be Jewish.


They could have been shot dead if they were Palestinian.


Remember when some were trying to turn this into a blood libel against Mohammed Abu Khudair; accusing his relatives of having killed him for being gay?


Sad.

2. I note that the Israelis are sentencing Israeli citizens for killing a Palestinian.

I am waiting for the day that Palestinians sentence a Palestinian citizen for killing an Israeli.

When that happens, both sides will be ready for peace. It can't happen to soon.

Black lives matter here.

Both Palestinian and Israeli lives matter there. No more of these killings from any side.

No more killing!

3. I think we all are waiting for

the Palestinians to stop paying the families, giving out candy, naming streets and throwing parades for those who kill Israeli's. Right now it appears they LOVE their "martyrs".

5. Or Israel paying fir illegal colonization?

4. It's horrifying what people are capable of doing, look at us here in the US.

A circle of violence that brings nothing but more pain and fear and hatred.

They're all so young too, that is deeply troubling to me as well.
