You are right. The White House will “tell” Israel not to have a “disproportionate response” and will insist that “peace process” must continue.

When an Israeli kills an Arab, the world demands concessions from the entire country of Israel. When an Arab kills an Israeli Jew, the world demands…concessions from the entire country of Israel.

I blame the murderers, I blame Hamas, and I blame Islam. I also blame Obama, who has put the Muslims on notice that he will support them no matter what. I blame the Europeans, who said nothing (until heavily prodded) about the kidnapping, but took the time to call for a boycott of Israeli settlements. I blame all those who side against the Jews and the Jewish nation and who have given aid and comfort to the enemies of civilization.

Jonathan E. Grant on June 30, 2014 at 2:22 pm

Debbie, thank you. When even the MSM carries this as the lead story, you know it’s big. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/bodies-3-abducted-israeli-teens-found-west-bank-article-1.1849521

I have a very bad feeling that ISIS will make their move in the US very soon. I am stunned at how they seemingly came out of nowhere and just rampaged throughout Iraq and are now on Israel’s several borders. Of course they didn’t “come out of nowhere.” They were training in secret and for a long time. What y’all have to realize is that they are doing this in the US too. I don’t doubt that every state has several cells. While you’re all panicking over a possible repeat of 9/11 or Iran doing something, these cells are getting ready and it won’t necessarily be the biggest cities first, even the ones with large Muslim populations. That’s too obvious. They are hidden all over, probably as Hispanic “illegals” and are just waiting for a signal. It will happen on one day but may be regional, IOW, something like all the states in the upper Midwest first and then like dominos the other blocks of states will fall. I also think it’s possible that the State Capitols will be the first targets, given the nature of State vs Federal power and taking out the State governments prevents Governors from declaring a state of emergency and calling up the National Guard.
I hope I’m wrong.

Meira on June 30, 2014 at 2:30 pm

Obama said not a single word about the kidnapping of an American citizen. Who was a Jew. His silence damns him.

The world lectured Israel on harassing the poor Arabs to find the missing boys, deeming it “disproportionate.” But its okay with the murder of Jews.

As we all know, Jews are not human and are not deserving of human rights. The only “right” Jews have had down through the ages is to be dead.

Which is the only thing when all is said and done, the world cares about. We see what Islamic terrorists do to fellow Muslims. They’re not going to treat infidel, dhimmi and hated Jews more mercifully.

This is the reality of the Middle East and in a word, yes Islam is the enemy not just of the Jewish people, but of every free man, woman and child on earth. The apologists for Islam will explain it all away.

Sad to say, it will happen again, in a war upon Israel and the West that will know no end. Of course, Israel will be blamed for not committing national suicide to feed the appetite of the rapacious Islamic crocodile before it devours the West. That too, is inevitable.

All we have with us is G-d, the truth as our bodyguard and the memories of Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Shaer and Naftali Fraenkel to remind us all of what is at stake in this conflict: our freedoms, our human dignity and our very lives are on the line.

Let us never forget and may G-d avenge them!

I had been wondering about these young lads, hoping that it had gone quiet because some negotiations were going on in the background.

Sadly not. I just read the news.

My condolences to the families if they happen to be reading this. Its horrible that it should have ended this way. And I can only hope that they know and believe that “underneath are the everlasting arms”.

Everlasting arms don’t go away. They don’t fail to catch and hold. So they will see their children again, when God has removed the wicked and the violent from the earth, and Paradise is restored.

The boys will wake up in an earth that is truly at peace, where even nature is no longer “red in tooth and claw”.

In the meantime, they sleep in the dreamless sleep of death. knowing nothing of the years that will go by over their heads. But held close in the everlasting arms, safe in God’s memory, every hair of their heads numbered, they could not be more secure.

And they have a wonderful awakening ahead of them.

Debbie, I’m glad that you’ve finally have given your two-cents on this issue (the thread below this one about the “Hobby Lobby”, I’m indifferent on it til a point, I also believe abortion and birth-control pill usage are personal issues for women’s reproduction, etc. and NOT the states business) about these young men being abducted a few weeks ago by Palestinian-nationals, who are yes, “Muslims”.

More than likely, Hamas, along with Iran were in charge of this orchestrating (why I say this is because, Hamas, Hezbollah, PLO, etc. are arms and wings of the Iranians, and the IRI pulling all the strings) of kidnapping and finally claiming their lives. Jonathan E. Grant, I understand your passion and agree with it, but this reasoning is an “Israeli-Palestinian” issue, and NOT an American issue, and NO, we shouldn’t send US Armed Forces into the West Bank either.

Israel’s government should’ve a few weeks ago sent in IDF and IAF forces into the West Bank, looking for these teenagers, save them, and also looking for their perpetrators who abducted them. Now that these poor guys are dead, Israeli Armed Forces should go into the West Bank and go right ahead of these guys killers and murder them on the spot for doing what they did to these teens!

Sean R. on June 30, 2014 at 3:44 pm

Even knowing chances favored this outcome, upon first getting the news I startled myself with my immediate reaction. I may have noticeably gasped out loud. Not sure. Both hands clenched and tapped on either side of my face as I starred several seconds at the latest murder victims pictured on the page.

Again, for the umpteenth time over the course of decades I figure this has to be it, the straw that breaks the camel’s back. But at long last I may be getting to know better. Oh, yeah, Israel will pick its way through the god-awful scent given off by the ungovernable ids that constitute the entirety of “Palestinian” anti-society; they’ll work their way to the ones directly responsible. (Look first for ones hoisted up on their compatriot’s shoulders, smiling ear to ear, waving exuberantly at the adoring throngs).

And, as usual, targets will be hit and the “Palestinians” will feel some pain and bleed a little. I’m sure they’re braced and well stocked up with band-aids.

We know the drill. “Palestinians” act, taking depravity to its depths; Israeli fire in the eye threats of retribution. And after the dust settles, once again the bad actors are left only to sweep up the broken glass while the rest of us are left with the feeling that justice has been drained from the world.

The White House gave a generic condemnation that they are against any killing of any civilian. In other words, that’s diplomatic speak for, “Fuck off, Jews, only the death of Muslims matter, or the building of a house that will house Jews, arouses our passion.

Jonathan E. Grant on June 30, 2014 at 4:22 pm

The Israelis continue to provide water, electricity, building supplies, and medical care to those who live in Gaza. They must share in the responsibility of the deaths of these three boys, because they themselves give aid to their enemies.

Jonathan E. Grant on June 30, 2014 at 4:23 pm

If the Israelis can still do it….they must TERMINATE ISMAEL HANIYEH or KHALED MESHAAL……..NO LESS….no collective punishment this time….get one or both heads of the snake….pray that their dead bodies will soon be held high in funeral procession….then DESTROY THEM

HK on June 30, 2014 at 4:27 pm

May Netanyahu grow some balls so that the next time there’s a disappearance he will shut off the water and electricity in Gaza or Hebron (or both) immediately until the captured Jews are released unharmed.

David on June 30, 2014 at 4:29 pm

I don’t think God should have anything to do with this; I think we should.

Unfortunately, what Israel SHOULD do and what it probably WILL do are very different.

It SHOULD wipe out the Hamas insects wherever they are found. It wont. Given Israel’s (and now our) penchant for stupidity, it will probably release more Mooslim savages from prison to do it all over again.

And John Kerry will order them to grovel.

Israel is becoming a paper tiger, and Mooslims know it.

Debbie,

As many human beings are today, I am angry.

At the risk of sounding insensitive and distasteful, for the sake of piqu’ah nefesh (the saving of a life), I must tell you and your readers at whom I am angry:

1. Current Israeli Government
2. Its “on the payroll rabbis,” who have been silent (or worse) regarding the Torah view of how to interact with these Arabs.
3. Previous Israeli Governments for setting the stage, Shimon Peres being in the front of the line for blame assignment.
4. For not writing enough, and loudly enough of this horrid spiritual state that we currently find ourselves, bowing down to the “international communities,” before considering our own safety, let alone what The Almighty might just want from us.

Esser Agaroth on June 30, 2014 at 4:46 pm

Jews will always be alone and will ALWAYS have to defend themselves, alone. Our mistake and weakness is to wait and hope for help. This time, Israel must respond not only to the kidnap and murder of just 3 teens, but of everything civil and decent.

HK on June 30, 2014 at 4:52 pm

Ma’alot massacre, Leon Klinghoffer, Munich Massacre 1972 and now 3 harmless Yeshiva teens…THESE ARABS SURE KNOW HOW TO SHOW OFF THEIR COURAGE AND BRAVERY…

Repeat on June 30, 2014 at 5:38 pm

This is the only way these subhuman savages know on how to fight: against school-children, defenseless citizens, pregnant women, unarmed civilians. Cowards as they are, they attack in hotels, ballrooms, pizza parlors and cafes, airport counters and parks.

These brave arabs send their children to do their dirty work. The heartless muslim mothers, more inclined to sacrifice their stupid, brain-washed children who in death represent a few more dollars into the family income and therefore are more valuable dead than alive.
The filthy imams and “religious” leaders, who make them believe that death is more desirable than life, that hatred of those different is a moral obligation and that heaven awaits to those who kill in the name of their filthy, blood-lusting “prophet” and their revenge-filled, hateful idol called “allah”.

Hiding in schools, hospitals and mosques in order to fire mortars and rockets against civilans, this scum of the earth is infecting the whole world with their hatred, their blood-lust, their maniac love for a pedophile prophet and their criminal, twisted, 7th century views of human civilization.

How can a modern, industrious, progressive Western civilization tolerate in its midst these backwards,sub-human muslim savages? Is their hatred against Jews so big that it blinds them to see that the muslim savages will do to them the exact same thing they want them to do on the Jews?

Apparently so. They did’t learn the hard lesson that Adolph taught them: In their maniac desire to wipe out Jews in Europe, he managed to destroy 60 million gentiles as well. Even though non-Jews were not hand-picked and selectively targeted for mass destruction like their Jewish counter-parts, they suffered a heavy number of casualties as well, their cities destroyed, their future generations depleted to the extent that 30 years later they had to replenish them with garbage imported from Pakistan, Turkey and other muslim hellholes in the Middle East.

But they didn’t learn. They just exchanged nazism with islamism. Same s**t, different prophet.

These three fine yeshiva boys died because of arab hatred and muslim intolerance and world’s indifference. They died because Europeans love eulogies for dead Jews, but cannot tolerate live Jews prospering in their own land. They died because as Golda Meir said “they (arabs) hate us more than what they love their own children”.

But now Europeans will also start paying the price. Islam is in Europe to stay, and to bring it back to the dark ages. Islam is God’s gift to these antisemites for centuries of killing and persecuting Jews.

And while Europeans rejoice over the spilled blood of three more murdered Jews, asking Israel to show “restraint” and not to retaliate against poor arabs, soon they’ll start crying over the blood of their own people spilled in the name of the vengeful idol of muslim madness.

Daniel Rubio on June 30, 2014 at 7:01 pm

According to multiple reports, Arabs stoned the IDF ambulance that was carrying the bodies of the murdered Israeli teenagers. The ambulance was forced to stop, its windshield shattered. According to The Algemeiner:

It figures that our cretinous president and his Klingon War Bride had nothing to say about the deaths of these innocent boys. The Muslim scum involved in their deaths(and yes you leftist apologists nimrods they are scum) should be rounded up and dropped in a pit of hungry wild boars. This serves two purposes. Firstly it will save ammo as these savages being shot is too quick and secondly we know how much these muslim cowards hate pigs. Getting back to the O’Clown and his she-ape. Along with Sec State Lurch and Joey(pull my finger)Biden. They will scream at Israel not to retaliate against the savage barbarians but if the roles were reversed you just know that Israel would get hammered. The current administration is truly pathetic and Obama for one is useless unless you’re a Muslim. May God bless and keep these boys and be with their families as they mourn.

This is a horrific crime that in no way can be justified. As Debbie, those teens were killed because they were Jews, and nothing more. This was not simply a Palestinian crime, but an Islamic one. Why is Israel expected to negotiate with such unrepentant thugs?

Worry01 on June 30, 2014 at 10:15 pm

This will continue as long as muslim arabs are allowed to live in Israel.
Expulsion = peace inside Israel. There will never be peace around Israel. Pay them and drive them out now.

RealityCheck on June 30, 2014 at 10:44 pm

Does Israel have convicted Muslim killers in it’s prisons??? Kill 100 or 1000 for every child killed. Eject 50,000 Muslims for every death, and import Christians from Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon. The Christians might be a bit anti-semetic, but they will be MUCH better than the Muslim monsters ejected back into Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon. Israel- stop being weak!! Christians, Jews, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, and Confushionist, all of us have Islam as the common enemy. Clear the Temple mount while you are at it….

From the statement issued by Obama:

Mr. President, your policies have destabilized the region enough. How dare you call for restraint! Go F*ck yourself.

I_AM_ME on July 1, 2014 at 7:04 am

Gee,and those in the Middle East wonder WHY most Americans have no real love for their religion. It’s because of stuff like THIS!!!!!!!!! Most likely,the Palestinians are probably dancing right now over this,just like they did on 9/11. It was stuff like this that makes me not want to support the Palestinians in ANY way. They’ve proven time and time again that they don’t care about anyone else,except themselves.

Even atheists hate weaponized Islam and its terror byproducts. These boys shall be avenged sevenfold.

HK on July 1, 2014 at 8:02 am

This is an unspeakable tragedy. I hope to light three memorial candles in my window tonight, as some organizations have suggested we all do.

Nevertheless, I am not positive we are getting the truth from the Netanyahu government. Is Hamas really to blame? Perhaps, but we cannot ignore the fact that the kidnapping occured in an area that Israel tries to keep free of Hamas influence, and props up Abbas’ Fatah. Of course, it would hurt the Netanyahu narritive that Hamas is bad, and Fatah is good (they are the “peace partners”, after all). So, I wonder if this was really Hamas, or was it Fatah, or, incredibly, could it have been connected in some way to either ISIS or Al Qaida? The last two would also be a problem for Netanyahu: He would not want it known that either of these groups have become active in Judea and Samaria, which, we hope, is still nominally under IDF control, and it would mean the nature of retaliation would have to be very different than what is now being done.

At the very least, I pray the Knesset passes a law banning any future releases of Jew-killers, under any circumstances.

phillip slepian on July 1, 2014 at 9:19 am

This is another instance of the Muslim blood lust winning over their common sense. I was sure that the boys would eventually be returned for another one of those insaine one thousand for one exchanges. Sadly I was wrong in underestimating those savages capacity for evil.

If 0bama had a son, he would certainly NOT look like Gilad, Naftali or Eyal. And not because of the color of their skin. The muslim occupier in the White House prefers his progeny to look and behave like the thug Trayvon, a petty thief and drug-peddler who got himself killed trying to attack a neighborhood watchman. Serious, responsible, hard-working youngsters who are not a threat to their communities are not exactly what 0bama would expect from a son.

Those are 0bama’s priorities, and only a blind person or one who doesn’t want to see the evidence would deny it. There’s no race card to play with in the three teenager’s murders, and even though one of them was a U.S. citizen, in 0bama’s eyes he was just a Jew, and a “settler” on top of that. 0bama is not wrong, people expecting that proto-muslim to behave differently are the ones who are wrong.

Daniel Rubio on July 1, 2014 at 10:28 am

All the American conservative pundits are saying that Netanyahu is so great, that he’s responding appropriately to this event. He waited too long. He should have responded as soon as he found out about the kidnapping – by turning off the water and electricity in the Arab territories or by killing captured terrorists. That’s the only thing these animals respond to – an immediate punch in the mouth, twice as hard as the one they administered.

“If he yields it from fear, it is for the purpose of avoiding war, and he will rarely escape from that; for he to whom he has from cowardice conceded the one thing will not be satisfied, but will want to take other things from him, and his arrogance will increase as his esteem for the prince is lessened.” – Niccoló Machiavelli, The Discourses. 1517.

No more sage words on the folly of appeasement have ever been spoken. This “president” appeases the practitioners of the Religion of Pieces while turning a blind eye to their wanton destruction of all things & people that’re non-Muslim.

My thoughts & prayers are with the families of these 3 young men. May G*d bless their memories & walk with His hand on the shoulders of their loved ones. And here’s praying that the Israelis bomb these cro-magnon muzzie murderers back to BEFORE the stone age (since they already reside there). I’m sure Sayeret Matkal is already hard at work to ensure this happens.

Cicero's Ghost (NB) on July 1, 2014 at 1:54 pm

Lots of great comments and sentiments. My favorite is Esser’s.

The state of Israel plays pattycake with Moooslims so long as said Moooooooslims don’t mess with Tel Aviv. When they do, the are efficiently handled. Thus, the location of the abductions and the place these teens lived (typical defenseless “settlements” outside the green line), and the homes of the Mooooslims (Hevron) are all very important.

Netanyahoooo, typically, situates this event in the new role of Hamas (bad terrorists) with the PA (good terrorists), which is an utter lie. Israeli governments cultivate the Moooslims of Hevron. Israeli politicos want no Jews in Hevron at all. It’s just that the Jews of Hevron are too aware of their situation to make an easy mark. So these Moooslims are the work of Rabin, Begin, Sharon, Olmert, and Netanyahu, all of whom were or are terrified of the national religious Jews of Yesha.

Hashem should not be expected to do anything because the dupes, knaves, and fools of Israel have not only done nothing for themselves, but have abetted the B’nei Amalek (Moooslims).

Note also that Israel contains not a single real rabbi. For this is a situation of milchemet mitzvah, and each Jew has the responsibility to kill as many Muslims as possible. See the Mishna Torah, Laws of Kings, for details.

skzion on July 1, 2014 at 8:34 pm

Yes, Gil-Ad Shaer, Naftali Fraenkel and Eyal Yifrah, Zichronam LiVrachah–Blessed Be Their Memories.

Pray that those who have done this senseless crime will be quickly brought to justice.

Pray that Jews and Christians will wake up to the danger of Muslim extremism. Pray that the American people wake up to the danger that the evil Marxist dictator in the WhiteHouse presents to this country.
