Waiting in Vain: Palestinian vs Israeli Responses to ViolenceOne waits for an outpouring of condolences for the kidnapping-murders of the three Israeli teenagers, one of whom was also an American citizen. Especially, one waits for such statements from the most ardent supporters of a Palestinian state in the disputed territories.
One waits in vain.
However, as soon as the news of a kidnapping and murder of an
Arab teenager, European, American, and Israeli Jews rushed to
express outrage, grief, and to condemn, in advance, any Jew or Jews who might
have committed this heinous act. The
Guardian focused
on the awful murder of Mohammed Abu Khedeir and on the police
beating of his Palestinian-American cousin who participated in a riot against
the police and/or the IDF. The kidnap-murder of the three Israeli teenagers
was mentioned in passing as having incited "racist" outbreaks among
the Israeli Jews.
The Guardian writes:
"Tensions have risen after three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped on 12
June and later found dead in the occupied West Bank. That has been followed
by an outbreak of racist incitement on Israeli social media sites, street
attacks and Khdeir's murder, a suspected revenge attack."
