Facebook page: Kill a convict every hour

A Facebook page calling for the execution of a Palestinian convict every hour until three Jewish teens kidnapped Thursday night are returned had garnered more than 15,700 likes as of early Monday morning.

The cover photograph shows a picture of the three teens in blue, next to photographs of Palestinians convicted of murdering Israelis in a crosshairs. “Until the teens return — every hour we will shoot a terrorist,” the page reads.

The page was created on Friday, when news surfaced of the kidnapping of Eyal Yifrach, 19, Naftali Frenkel, 16, and Gil-ad Shaar, 16, who were hitchhiking in the West Bank.

Among the updates on the page are profiles and photographs of specific convicts in Israeli jails, with calls for their execution. One post called for Israel to learn from the biblical King David, who is described in Samuel I 30 as tracking down and slaughtering the Amalekites who sacked an Israelite town and imprisoned its women and children.

1. The Palestinians have no value. n/t

2. Think it's anyone we know?

Of course, Facebook suspends its policy against hate speech when it targets Arabs, as usual... And we're up to nearly 18,000 likes... Obligatory links to "I'm With David Hanahlawi" and "We are all for death to terrorists."

4. Could be.

The hate speech seems to be growing and affecting DU as well, but I'm glad that the Jury system works to weed out the tolls from time to time.
