1. So...When will the muslims stop killing?
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.12.14)
As well as teaching little 5 year olds to be shahids...and blow themselves up for Allah? We can only wish this tit for tat crap will end in our lifetime. It begs to question whether we are really humans or animals ...especially when we drag God into our right to murder whomever we feel like killing.
2. Thank G Israel doesn't have the death penalty
Israel's ,   Dreyfus Case   (08.12.14)
Who knows how many innocent Jews like this one would have been killed.
3. Well, you know what?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.14)
If you expect to be understood, you have to speak the language that your opponent understands. Arabs understand ONLY violence. ONLY thuggery. ONLY mayhem. ONLY murder. Doubt that? Take a look at the Middle East today -- are the Syrians sending tea and crumpets? How about the Jordanians, who are (rather quietly) some of the most ruthless thugs around (it's not easy, 10% of a population hanging on to control of absolutely everything in a country that is an illegal entity to begin with). Let's not forget Iraq. Or even Iran. Sunni v. Shi'a -- more rampant violence and brutality that would do Genghis Khan proud -- and yes, he was pretty brutal. The world is better off without Arabs, Moslems, and their offshoot cults of death and destruction. Civilization must rid itself of them, if there is any hope of survival for most of you. Oh, the Jews will survive. Not sure about anyone else.
4. 40 people burned alive in Odessa, you hear what Obama said?
Miron ,   USA   (08.12.14)
"Let's not get into tactics" Burned on his personal orders. To break down will to resist of people of Eastern Ukrain, on purpose, and without even appearance of compassion or regret.
5. The Confession of a Depraved Man
Texana ,   Austin, Texas   (08.12.14)
This horrific act is inexcusable, unforgivable. The confession details the thoughts of a sick, warped and twisted mind. A vile man who could believe that killing a young boy or anyone could avenge the murders of the three Israeli teens. All of those acts are the same: Murder committed by men comsumed by evil, unable to think properly. This man truly deserves the death penalty. He is pure evil. Huge efforts must be made to make sure that these kinds of evil thoughts do not grow in others. I heart breaks for the family of Abu Khdeir.
6. It makes me sick
arne ,   chicago usa   (08.12.14)
ben david you have brought shame to our people--for that you must be punished to the full extent of the law.
7. Kasim Husejnovic has never blamed his brothers for brutally
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.12.14)
murdering 3 Jewish teens just prior to this.
8. monsters among us
Lauren ,   Israel   (08.12.14)
There are monsters among us.Who did they learn this from ? Who supports them ? Their families and yeshivot share the guilt. This is intolerable.
9. Ben-David should get the death penalty
David Heartman   (08.12.14)
No doubt they will get him off by claiming he is mentally unstable or something. He deserves the death penalty and nothing less.
10. This was a premeditated act
Raed ,   Jerusalem   (08.12.14)
They set out to kill a Palestinian in the most savage way and they carried out their plan. They expressed regret just because they got caught, hoping to ease their sentencing. We want justice and we want them to be locked up for the rest of their lives, just like we want the murderers of the 3 Israeli teens to face justice and be locked up. Murdering innocent civilians is despicable, Palestinians and Israelis should stand together against extremists on both sides who incite hatred and violence and create obstacles to peace.
11. "Basic Human Morality!" he says, yeah....
Riva ,   Israel   (08.11.14)
That's exactly what our Arab neighbors don't have! Hamas targets missiles at the whole population of Israel while murdering their own for not wanting to be human shields! Arabs of all "groups" have kidnapped, mutilated, stabbed our babies/kids/pregnant women, etc., thrown fire bombs and rocks at our cars.... They do the most horrendous acts, and the Israeli public is FORCED TO REPRESS OUR CONSTANT ANGER! FORCED TO BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD ACUALLY MAKE PEACE, GIVE IN TO UNREASONABLE AND MURDEROUS DEMANDS. As terrible as I think the act against these innocent Arab people is, I can't help but think that SOME PEOPLE in our population just couldn't take the CONSTANT barbaric murders of our own people anymore, and this unfortunately was the tragic result! Let us hope that our government will finally realize that our people are literally going insane when they put POLITICS AND POLICIES OF INTERNATIONAL APPEASEMENT ahead of the safety and good of the citizens, forcing us to pretend that what is really evil is good! I truly believe THIS is what caused this guy and teens to crack and commit such heinous acts!
12. #3 Sarah, where did you get that sentence from?

>>Civilization must rid itself of them, if there is any hope of survival<< Mein Kampf?
13. Sara B changes her tune.
Liron ,   Zichron   (08.12.14)
I thought you said it was an honor killing? I suppose the act was initially too heinous to take credit for but now you have no choice. Way to own it girl!! Now, let's see you pick up arms and head into Gaza. You are nothing but an Armchair warrior.
14. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.14)
The only monsters among us are the vicious and bloodthirsty Arabs. I do not condone murder, but I can understand the reasons behind it. Or have you forgotten that the "palestinians" were chortling, passing out sweets and giving one another three fingered salutes in "honor" of the brutal kidnapping and savage murder of three Jewish boys? What is intolerable is the constant rioting by terrorist Arabs, the inability of Jews to travel the roads of our country without being assaulted by rock-throwing hooligans. And the Fogel family -- murdered in their sleep. It's the Arabs who are the monsters, Lauren. Not the Jews. Did you expect us to remain silent forever? Are you more comfortable with Jews as perpetual victims? Then get out of the country. We have no use for sniveling apologists such as yourself. Go whine somewhere else.
15. Mohammed Abu Khdeir RIP
Sue ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (08.12.14)
Joseph Ben David quote"I express regret to the family of the boy, and I hope that God will forgive me." That's the difference between me and God - I won't ever forgive you and I hope the judge won't either" There's only one punishment for this condoning man "May you burn slowly in hell". and may the two youths who collaborated in this cruel deed be sent to prison for life with no chance of reprieve.
16. Will they be demolishing the family house of Ben-David?

most racist person in the northern hemisphere congrats :)
18. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.14)
Take a look around, sluggo. See anything that the "palestinians" -- or Arabs, Moslems generally -- have contributed that is worth keeping? All I see is violence, brutality, mass murder, enslavement. Can you imagine a world dominated by ISIS? Al Qaeda? Hamas? Hezbollah? The Taliban?
19. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.12.14)
And I was wrong. Which I admitted when the truth first emerged. But there had been investigations into the boy's home life -- parents weren't all that thrilled that he was a homosexual.

21. jews cant forgive this crime
wise ,   eu   (08.12.14)
but forgott very fast all murders that palestinians or arab did why we condem so fast jews but we dont do the same with arabs murderes? because this is their nature?because it is ok for arabs to kill? no! IT IS NOT!
22. Terrible Act of Murder
Texana ,   Austin, Texas   (08.13.14)
I am heartsick that any Jew would do such a terrible thing, to kill an innocent boy---a brutal, inexcusable act of murder that cannot be justified for any reason. My heart goes out to Abu Khdeir's family. I am sick and ashamed that such a vile and evil act was committed by a Jew. This should not be the Jewish way.
23. Response to Raed
Texana ,   Austin, Texas   (08.13.14)
I agree with you. I am Jewish and I feel so heartsick and miserable that any Jew could commit this evil crime. Yes, Palestinians and Jews must stand together against extremists on both sides. Acts of cruelty and terror cannot be condoned. You express my feelings exactly and better than I could say myself.
24. Khadeir murder
Lee Kaplan ,   Berkley, USA   (08.24.14)
I am revolted by the description of the killing here. If it is true, these boys, Jews or not should be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law. That said, his lawyer said the ring leader is innocent. Give the "confession", how could that be unless the police coerced a confession from him? If he s guilty then I owe the government an apology, but I need to hear the defense lawyer's story. Was the ringleader mentally ill and making up a story for the police? We need to hear. I cannot fathom yeshiva bochers doing such a thing. What does the defense lawyer say and has the ringleader recanted his confession?
