But how long will it last ????

from the Euphrates and the greater Caliphate dominion until the Nile of Egypt? It will come soon with or without Boo-boo, Peres, Ayalon or Lieberman.

the moral indignity that he may feel, the Israeli Arab whom he and the left have always coddled is voting with petrol bombs. They have told you in no uncertain terms they wish you Jews dead. What part of that does your self righteous self not understand? You can wax poetic about how enlightened and fair you are , however in the final analysis those who you wish to be friends with, hate you. The post Zionist illusion of living in peace with a genocidal enemy is simply that, delusional, to the point that it will destroy the country. The über left have emasculated Israel to the point that it cannot and will not defend itself. In my book, that is a receipt to disaster.

This article is despicable even by Ben-Yishai's snake belly low standards. Ben-Yishai wants to demonize and tear Israel apart over a single murder of an Arab. Why does he not seek to tear down the PA over its THOUSANDS of murders of Jews?? Ynet, .there is no excuse to employ destructive dolts like Ben-Yishai.

penalty.

Convict the stupid killers put them in jail. Use iron fist against Hamas and the other terrorists. Israel doesn't have the luxury of dramatizing things like in US. It is playing with fire. Cut the crap and bullshit like this article.

Israel based itself on MaxiStrength and Yet Morality .With a Fanatical enemy believing in Calif and Islamic and Arab Expansionism and Collaboration of some of the Leadership-The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and his Gang With Nazism Israel acted Ruthless in war .But this Deed a cruel Murder an execution by Barbarians is a disgrace a stain on Jewish Morality and History and the Perpertrators ought be severely Punished.

Bibi & Co have done everything in their power over the years to create a sense of Jewish exceptionalism, contempt for international law or approval, dismissal of Arab rights or humanity, a belief that might is right and that settlers no matter how extreme are engaged in both god's and Israel's work. He must apologise for this murder, and for bringing Israel to pariahdom.

Why is everybody already jumping to the conclusions that the murderers are settlers? So far - I did not see any mention of it in any news. What if they are just low life rif-raf? The kind that respect nothing, purely ignorant and proud of it?

Your point is well said, Ron. Todah. Has not HaShem said, in Deuteronomy 32:34, "Vengeance and payback are mine for the time when their foot slips; for the day of their calamity is coming soon, their doom is rushing upon them." I wonder how this would have turned out if all had followed His Word? But when we take over His role of revenge...things turn evil in a hurry.

now let's hope Israeli lawmakers always quick with amendments to laws to punish palestinians will take note and more importantly ACTION

i would expect same reaction of media when jews are attacked...when it comes to jews the media all over the world frame it in minimum words...and see one arab killling and the media is makig it headlines in every newspaper.first be fair from very beggining and then think about judging jews and arabs...in right way.No killing is justified either jew or arab...world needs to look on both the sides and not wht this bias media pens down

As for terrorists that are not Israeli citizens, they are not entitled to the rules of civilians law. They are enemy combatants, subject to military justice.

Like the one that can catch the murderers of an Arab teen in a day but is unable to apprehend the murderers of three Jewish teens?

Attacks from Gaza, Arabs attack from within. There is no way of appeasement or economic incentive out of this one. This is Arabs on one side and Jews on the other. I think action short of war can calm the situation: Arm Jews, empty the recently arrested hamas members into Gaza and cut supplies to a bare minimum to Gaza. It seems like Bibi will do about anything except for what it takes to protect Jews and close this episode down.

So that would mean letting the killers free after a few years, the same way the worst Arab butchers were freed, like Aziz Salha, who killed and disemboweled two Israelis but served only 7 years before being freed in 2011.

Isn't it just amazing to find, through all these gung ho smartasses and their murderous comments, just how many worms of zero and less IQ can crawl out of the woodwork? Who would have known that it isn't just one thug-like idiot born every minute, but ten? Here we are, then, those of us actually living IN the country, and with the consequences of the actions of psychopathic freaks, being egged on to become one of those psychopaths by a bunch of comfortable (but disturbed), safe lounge lizards from abroad, who don't have to live with the violence and hatred. It seems perfectly obvious that centuries of advancement in mankind is now heading right back to the cave age - devolution. Any quarter wit can work out where things are going in this region and nobody with even half of that wit is unaware of the seriousness of the dangers this country is actually facing. Fanning the flames of hatred is destructive. Does it not make sense to try constructive instead? Honestly, you wacky, trigger happy (so long as it's somewhat else who has to pull the trigger) dimwits do this country no good at all. Message to YNet: Please replace Facebook linked comments with a monitoring system like Disqus to filter out the insane and the most rabid of hate speech!!

Netanyahu and Israel cannot escape the blame: there are two laws one for Arab one for Jew, there is no justice, and that is what brought the death of Abu Khdeir. A Jew who even thinks of breaking the law is treated with an Iron Fist. The slightest hint of incitement gives long jail sentences. Even graffiti possibly drawn by Jews is considered grave terror. The most horrible Arab murderer (think Samir Kuntar) knows that killing a Jew is not considered a crime by Israel. The Englishman William Shakespeare said it best more than 400 years ago: Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer as a Muslim is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Muslim, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Muslim wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Muslim example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

... great leadership - and unfortunately the current clutch of pygmies & political hacks in Jerusalem led by Bibi will NEVER cut the mustard or rise to the occasion. Meanwhile all your points are well-taken... If only the Israeli electorate were able to get it!

But neither police involvement (they needed 10 weeks to arrest Shely Dadon's murderer, vs only 10 hours to catch Mohamed's), nor court verdicts: 25 years for Samir Kuntar, sadistic murderer of a whole family, 27 years for Yona Avrushmi for throwing a grenade killing the Shalom Arshav activist Emil Grunweig.

You wrote: "The murder of an Arab boy by Jews has caused incalculable damage to Israel in the international arena, and provides propaganda ammunition to anti-Semites. One could also say the murder took away any justification for the operation against Hamas in Gaza." The operation against Hamas in Gaza has nothing whatsoever to do with the murder of this child, and you know it. So, why are you attempting to make it appear as though it does? Your words suggest that Tzahal should close shop and allow Gaza to continue pummeling Israel with Grads, rockets and mortars. Oh wait. Excuse me. A recent op-ed by you referred to Gaza's attacks on Israel as a "drizzle." Ron, I used to respect you but not anymore. Somewhere down the road you sold out, and it is reflected in everything you write. You used to argue for the sovereign rights of Israel and offer constructive solutions re same. But you have caved to world opinion. You have become weak and insipid. And that makes you part of the problem.

Israel has released thousands of Arabs who have killed Jews. Its never released a Jew who killed Arabs. So if Jews and Arabs are to be treated alike then the killers of the young Arab boy will be released just like the Arabs. Also just like released Arab killers are given the rank of Colonel in the PLO army so too Jewish killers should be given the rank of Colonel in the IDF. Something tells me the writer really doesn't want Jews treated like Arabs. He actually wants to punish Jews who kill. Perhaps we try that with Arabs who kill too.

will you blow a chunk of it off?

your radical, fanatical, and terrorist foes. They just want it in order to weaken your State on her moral forces. We, true friends around the world, do support you. Exactly for it, we are able to criticize and propose. God bless you always.

We release Arab terrorists who kill Jews. The PA then makes them officers in their Army gives them a generous salary. Any time they spend in jail is rewarded with massive salaries. So if we treat them equally we should pay them while in jail, release them early, make them officers in the IDF and give them large pensions. Is that what you really want

The sadistic Samir Kuntar, who eradicated a whole family in Nahariya, spent 25 year in prison (where he took uniersity grades, married, had 2 kids, divorced) before being freed. Yona Avrushmi, who accidentally killed the Peace Now activist Emil Grunzweig, spent 27 years in a cell. The lynch party who murdered handcuffed Eden Zada in Shefaram was never jailed though the killing was documented by photos.
