1. Will the police also break their teeth and nose
(07.02.14)
and come trampling with horses onto protesters like they do for Jews?
2. the death of the Arab boy.
mary jerez ,   pasadena, Texas   (07.02.14)
This act that, was not only horrific but, also very sad. how this Arab child was murdered. but even if Jews didn't do this crime, it seems as if we are still being blame for it. let the police do their investigations first, before everyone jumps into a conclusion. And what about the three Jewish Kids that were murdered ? we also ask for justice, for their blood that has been shed. Baruch dayan emet. !
3. Blood Libel
alon ,   Beit Shemesh, Israel   (07.02.14)
The Pals killed their own, planted the body to be "found" and then go on the warpath and the Israeli police and leftist press buy right into the "reprisal attack" scenario. Let's face it; the Pals did this to their own knowing Jewish reaction is not to riot, and then Pals blame it all on Jews a la blood libels.
4. Staged
James ,   USA   (07.02.14)
The whole thing was staged by the PA / Hamas sicko's to bring sympathy to there side. No different than a suicide bomber. Only these sick people would consider something like that. If it was Israelis, they would be protesting at the Knesset for lack of cabinet action allowing Hamas to strike with impunity. Kind of twisted, decrying the Israeli right while Hamas shoots mortar shells at Israel during the boys funeral. Where was Abbas then?
5. Murdered by his own people
Moshico ,   Jerusalem   (07.02.14)
The boy was a Homosexual and that is not excepted by the Muslims. When is YNET going to print this latest discovery and show what his own family done to him.
6. This is clearly a Palestinian set up!!
Shadoil79 ,   Jerusalem   (07.02.14)
7. Jewish terrorism should be fought fiercely
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (07.02.14)
Destroy the terrorist's family house
8. Jewish residents of area have NO transport
ProtectJewsOfArea!!! ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.02.14)
This is obviously a local incident not relating to Jews as more and more information is revealed but the Jews of northern Jerusalem are now left with no NO public transportation to the city center and are effectively prisoners as there is no longer any bus service and all make that all taxis in the area are Arab driven they are prisoners of the "Olmert light rail" there needs to be a demonstration now for alternative transportation for Northern Jerusalem's nearly 100,000 Jews of Pisgat Zev and Neve Yaakov
9. killing
jake ,   haifa, israel   (07.02.14)
notice one thing: nobody knows who killed the arab teenager yet arabs are already rioting. did this happen in the 18 days before they found the 3 youths, israelis rioting? take notice of the diff of mentalities!
10. Arab teenager murdered.
Ray ,   Scotland UK   (07.02.14)
The Arab boy brutally murdered was also an Israeli citizen. Whether Jew or Arab teenager murdered, all right thinking people abhor such barbaric acts. As Rabbi Hillel said " Do not do to others that which is hateful to you." That is the Jewish way.
11. We dunno who killed him yet and they riot
typical   (07.02.14)
12. Hypocrites
Erez   (07.02.14)
The arabs perfectly know that this is an inter-arab feud but they exploit the death of their children, as usual, for political purposes.
13. Arab Boy
big ben ,   Prague   (07.02.14)
Arabs are killing each other by the thousands in the Middle East. Until there is forensic evidence to the contrary, why ignore the presumption of Arab on Arab murder?
14. The Israeli Right kidnapped the entire
Sam ,   Kfar Saba   (07.02.14)
Population of Israeli the day Bibi came to power. Years of nothingness, stagnation, twisting, manipulation and here you have it - Jews are becoming more and more like the enemy. Add that to international Israel hatred and we can really witness an Israeli leadership of vision (not). So sad!!
15. The difference
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (07.02.14)
No matter who murdered this boy, or for what reason, they should be brought to justice. The Palestinians, on the other hand, thought the murder of 3 Jewish boys WAS justice.
16. When it is discovered that they committed murder again
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.02.14)
against one of their own.... will anyone say something??? naaaah I don't think so sickos
17. If this is how
Abu Arab   (07.02.14)
The story is going to play out, you definetly know who is going to conquer.
18. Maybe Israelis should adopt some of the Palestinians
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (07.02.14)
tradition and hand out candy and celebrate when a Palestinian dies? On second thought the Israelis are not sick demented fools.
19. why weren't palestinian youth rioting when 3 israeli killed
john   (07.02.14)
20. Wait for investigation
(07.02.14)
It could be staged, it could be not. The problem is, Israel cannot be sure if Hamas is directly involved in the kidnapping/murder of the three boys, it could have been done by some Pals acting independently. Yet, the Israeli government started with their collective punishment without waiting for investigation. Now the Pals do the same and start to riot, instead of remaining calm and waiting for the facts. It goes back and forth.
21. For One a serious riot !,But for our Three ?
Roland ,   london England   (07.02.14)
22. follow the ways of Naftali Bennett
Sam ,   Kfar Saba   (07.02.14)
and this will just be the beginning of such cycles of atrocities. Time to wake up Leaders! - the people on the street are becoming wild animals.
23. Hamas is Responsible.
Janet   (07.03.14)
Burning the body is a sign of an honor killing... Jewish settlers wouldn't do that. They would kill him and flee.
24. Arab teen's death sparks riots in East Jerusalem
Karl-Heinz REINARTZ ,   Wettringen, Germany   (07.03.14)
I hope they can prevent this wildfire of hatred from spreading even further on both sides. As I see it, there will be no peace until the extremists on both sides are reined in by the moderates of their own groups. However, that would mean that these moderates would have to gain the upper hand against their own people. But they do really succeed in this task – is it because of their cowardice or because of their reluctance? The consequence is that hatred in the Near East keeps spreading, not only because of the bad, but also because of the failure of the good people.
25. Correction of my previous email to "Arab teen's death sprake
Karl-Heinz Reinartz ,   Wettringen, Germany   (07.03.14)
Correction: The word "not" was missing in the sentenece "They do not really succeed ..". Please take this corrected version I hope they can prevent this wildfire of hatred from spreading even further on both sides. As I see it, there will be no peace until the extremists on both sides are reined in by the moderates of their own groups. However, that would mean that these moderates would have to gain the upper hand against their own people. But they do not really succeed in this task – is it because of their cowardice or because of their reluctance? The consequence is that hatred in the Near East keeps spreading, not only because of the bad, but also because of the failure of the good people.
