1. why the speculation?
David ,   New England   (07.02.14)
Everyone says it's a possible revenge murder but there is no proof of that. why stir up unrest needlessly? Maybe he was gay and it was an honor killing.
2. Bull
DOV ,   USA   (07.02.14)
Hamas responsible for kidnapping and killing of 3 Israelis. Arab boy killed by mob action. Both acts are horrible but obviously there is a difference.
3. Is the picture the kid who they found
Arnold ,   Montreal   (07.02.14)
If so I can tell you right now the kid was gay. And by all my knowledge of gay Arabs.... he was murdered by his Arab peers and all presumptions after that fall easily on the Jews as retaliation. Just watch and you will see I am right.
4. Know what realliy is sickening?
Jake Stone ,   USA   (07.02.14)
The world's duplicity in its feigned aghast at this act. Where was all this concern and righteous indignation of the three deaths of the three Jewish boys. The double standards, as it concerns Israel sickens me. Israel needs to tell them no thank you, and get about the business of destroying these Muslim savages. God bless Israel!!!
5. "heinous murder" ?
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.02.14)
What - 3 Israeli teens is not a heinous murder? Or was that just the terrorists' statement that Hamas wants to destroy Israel, piece by piece, human by human? What I understand from this article, is that the world is biased - anit-Israeli.
6. Jewish terrorists
Non Jewish Immigrant ,   Haifa   (07.02.14)
The army forces have to destroy the house of every Jewish terrorists like they do to Arabs. That's a real democracy !
7. Will they still be outraged
BH ,   Iowa   (07.02.14)
when they find out he was murdered by other arabs?
8. #4 Where was all this concern and righteous indignation
(07.02.14)
It was everywhere. If you weren't blinded by hatred you would have seen it.
9. brutal killing of arab
jenifer ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.03.14)
it was most likely done by arabs themselves-just to stir up more hatred and violence
10. 6
(07.03.14)
then, if you don't mind, we'll start with yours.
11. #6 Arabs who killed this gay Arab should have
GZLives   (07.02.14)
their homes destroyed yes? Because when the smoke clears, I'll bet the farm thats what happened here
12. to#2 Dov
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.02.14)
Dov there are sighns that this boys was killed by Arabs due some familiy feud and as Arnold mentioned that may be the motiv.
13. Hypocrisy from World Leaders
Texana ,   Dallas, Texas   (07.03.14)
The comments from the world leaders (pure evil), including the vile Susan Rice and John Kerry in the US, are disgusting. The White House was absolutely silent for days after the kidnapping of the three Israeli teens, one of them American. Lukewarm condemnation at best, but did they ever jump to this to condemn. No right-thinking person, Jewish or Arab or anyone at all, should fail to condemn the murder of innocent people. Of course! If the murder was committed by a Jewish fanatic, then they must be brought to justice.
14. Response to # 7
Texana ,   Dallas, Texas   (07.03.14)
If the vile world leaders find that he was killed by other Arabs, they may try to hide that fact. Or cast doubt on the findings of an investigation. It won't suit their purpose otherwise, which is to condemn Israel. Makes me sick.
15. At ease there Ynet
Airborne ,   Jerusalem   (07.02.14)
"Likely kidnapped and murdered in revenge for the death of three Israeli teens" What is this amateur hour? Just shooting blanks in the dark? Absolutely terrible journalism. There is NO evidence to say it was a revenge killing. However, it was reported that the police were called to the kids home last week. How about doing your job Ynet instead if guessing.
16. dead arab boy
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (07.02.14)
My gut feeling is this was a family honor killing.......and it was the perfect time to do it.......time and good Police work will provide the answer.......AM YISROEL CHAI
17. branch of Hamas
(07.02.14)
This newspaper has changed from being a branch of Fatah to being a branch of Hamas "...who was most likely kidnapped and murdered in revenge for the death of three Israeli teens that were abducted and recently found dead in the West Bank" The Arab was "kidnapped and murdered". The Jews were merely "found dead". The paper states as fact that the boy "...was most likely kidnapped and murdered in revenge..." although all evidence points to him being murdered by other Arabs for being homosexual.
18. Denial
John ,   USA   (07.03.14)
"He was gay and killed in an honor killing," they say. "He was killed by Hamas to garner sympathy," they say. Denial - it's not just a river in Egypt. It is the public opinion of so many in Israel and its supporters. But that is to be expected from a country that is founded on cognitive dissonance.
19. Disgusted
Tami Bell ,   Miami USA   (07.03.14)
As an American it is almost impossible to determine if i'm more disgusted by Obama's pathetic statement on the murder of 3 teenagers, one who held dual Israeli/American citizenship, or the morons who voted for him. I stand with Israel.
20. Yet, No Condemnation for 3 murdered JEWISH boys!
R ,   ISRAEL   (07.03.14)
THE US SAYS "most likely kidnapped and murdered in revenge for the death of three Israeli teens that were abducted and recently found dead in the West Bank. " IT'S "MOST LIKELY" NOT KNOWN WHAT HAPPENED! STOP BLAMING ISRAEL UNTIL THE FACTS ARE IN! Amazing how the US will jump at every opportunity to side with the Arabs even when 3 young Israelis were just murdered! Where was the US outcry then?! AND in light of the fact that one of these boys was a US citizen! WHERE IS THE RAGE AT THAT! Israel waited and waited for the US President to respond but the message is clear! They don't give a damn about Jews! only Arabs, and they are quick to blame Israelis for an act that may in fact have been perpetrated by ARABS!
21. Rice and Kerry should shut up
CJK   (07.03.14)
the murder of this arab teen is an internal matter to israel. israel, unlike the arab palestinians, or indeed the vast majority of arab states, has an independent judiciary. israel does not need the two inciters, rice and kerry, to tell her how to solve murders. the obama regime is much to blame for the fires engulfing the entire middle east. the number of people who have been slaughtered as a result of the obama regime's irrational, ideologically driven foreign policy is in the hundreds of thousands.
22. He was a homosexual, killed by family
get ur facts right   (07.03.14)
23. Any murder is heinous in Israel as anywhere else but ...
Andi ,   Israel   (07.03.14)
I wonder how many murders there were in the US yesterday without all these pronouncements.They just don't have political significance. But I have no doubt which society is sicker
24. I think the palestinians did it, they probably mistaken him
Lily   (07.03.14)
for jewish, after they killed him they have found out he wasn't jewish, most of jewish teens travel at that time of night from jerusalem.
25. Killers must be punished
Dan   (07.03.14)
As a Jewish Israeli, I call for the trial and punishment of whoever killed the three Israelis and whoever killed the Arab boy. The difference between us is and must be that while so many Arabs rejoice at any killing of Jews, we recoil from the unjust killing of anyone. Shame on all who call for revenge.
26. Really? Seriously?
Haifa Grandmother   (07.03.14)
Jen Psaki limply called the murder of three Israeli teenagers a tragedy, or a tragic event. The murder of an Arab boy, which may have been committed by settlers and which may have been an "honor" killing -- you gotta love the semantics here -- is immediately a heinous murder. One can only assume that the Obama administration considers killing Jews justifiable homicide, barely manslaughter, not even a crime, just an event, while the killing of an Arab, who in all probability was gay, was a heinous murder, not a hate crime because he was gay, but because there is a possibility that it was committed by Jews. A possibility, nothing more. How, exactly, is this fair-handed, impartial foreign policy and not anti-Semitism? Am I really the only person who senses a whiff of irony here (to say nothing of brimstone)?
27. @ 5 you are sick
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (07.03.14)
The US condemned all acts of violence by either side. The murder of the three teens was condemned by the US in the strongest terms and the US offered assistance while knowing that Israel was more than capable of handling it. Murder is murder. Both where acts of terrorism no matter how you look at it. Your hatred of Americans and a black president is so obvious that your post are disgusting and your rational thought is foggy.
28. Poor Gay teen.
Tomi Weiss ,   Serbia   (07.03.14)
He was almost certainly killed because he was Gay. This is a murder and a crime against sexual (not ethnic) minorities. Anyway Israeli police must find the perpetrators.
29. 3
yonatan Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (07.03.14)
How could you possibly know what you posted.I hope that you are right but you are in Canada and you don't know what actually happened-the police here even don't know.
30. To Jake Stone, U.S. (07.02.14), at nr. 4.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (07.03.14)
Quite a nice talkback/comment. Muslims, mohammedans and sharia, for example are all from "islam". "islam" is evil and bad. ALL.H/G.D is very well/good/perfect. Good health to you and to your family and also the best to the Jewish, Israeli people and Israel.
