UPDATE

Jewish extremists held over brutal murder of Palestinian teen

Israeli police have arrested a group of Jewish extremists in connection with the kidnap and murder of a Palestinian teenager in east Jerusalem, an Israeli official told Agence France-Presse on Sunday, July 6.

“Apparently the people arrested in relation to the case belong to an extremist Jewish group,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, shortly after the website of the Haaretz newspaper reported 6 arrests in connection with the case.

The kidnap and murder on Wednesday, July 3, sparked 4 straight days of riots which began in annexed Arab east Jerusalem but on Saturday spread to more than half a dozen Arab towns in Israel.

Details of the case have been subjected to a strict gag order.

1. Oh my....

2. When are we going to read the headline ...

"Hamas arrests Palestinian suspects in Israeli teen's deaths"? That would be never.

7. disgusting.

you know what you can do with your bigotry? Yeah, that, honey.

6. When do their homes get demolished? nt

8. they were arrested. Let's see what happens from here.

I frickin' really dislike the amount of stupid and bigotry on both sides of the I/P debate. It's essentially why I now post so infrequently in I/P. Neither side are the monsters that some cast them as.

10. The question remains: When do their homes get demolished?

That's what happened to the Palestinian suspect. And I emphasize suspect. The Israel government destroyed the family home of that guy based on suspicion, nothing more. Certainly nothing approaching a judicial process.

That's a particularly heinous Israeli tactic--among oh so many others.

9. Glad they got them

Hope they get whoever killed the 3 boys also.

The whole thing is so sad.

11. Hate makes hate makes hate....someone has got to stop the cycle

and it can't just be the poor and disenfranchised submitting to authority, the reconciliation has to come from both sides or it does not count.
