After the bodies of three Israeli teenagers who were kidnapped by Hamas militants from Hebron were uncovered yesterday near Halhul, the occupied West Bank, racist attacks against Palestinians have been on the rise. Two protests, each attended by hundreds of people, took place in Jerusalem where mobs chanted again and again “Revenge!”, “Death to Arabs”, and “Jews are good [literally, “souls”], Arabs and sons of whores”.
Death to Arab chants in central Jerusalem yesterday. Some of the protesters attempted to attack a Palestinian worker of McDonalds
A new facebook page titled “The People of Israel Demand Revenge“, managed to gain over 32,000 “likes” in about 24 hours.Young Israelis post photos of themselves on this page calling for revenge against Palestinians. Among those young Israelis are soldiers, many of them from units that serve in the occupied Palestinian territories. All the photos in this post were taken from that facebook page. Expressing political opinion and taking photos inside army bases is strictly prohibited under IDF rules, which it the reason most of the soldiers covered or didn’t show their faces.
UPDATE, July 2, 2014, 10:14 AM: After gaining over 32,000 likes, the main facebook page was taken down. Three pages with the same name are still operating.

Photo taken from a new page titled “The People of Israel Demand Revenge” that currently has only 432 likes.
“Revenge” written in bullets and shortened M-16 rifles. The quality of the photo is quite poor so it’s hard to tell which unit this soldier belongs to, but it appears that the hat bears the insignia of some C4I Corps battalion. The shoes in the photo are usually work by NCOs who’ve completed they’re obligatory IDF service.

Sickening and sad. Communal hatred between these two groups of people is not surprising, given how they treat each other. But one party in this dispute – the Israelis – is immeasurably more powerful than the other. It has the capacity to carry out its threats. The utter dehumanization of the “other” that is going on here (on both sides) is tragic but, again, not unexpected. What is striking to me is this: I read today that well over a 1000 Palestinian children have been killed by the Israeli military since 2000. It averages to about 1 child every 3-4 days. Given how enraged Israeli Jews have become over the cold-blooded murder of three Israeli teenagers, can’t they see how some Palestinians would have that same rage, except magnified many times over by the fact that far more Palestinian children are killed? If Israel can become so psychotically angry over this event, many Israeli Jews should have no problem understanding how the “other side” might feel the same way. But, of course, to do this requires empathy and the ability to see the other as fully human.
ShaunN, right on brother. Right on the nub of hatred so large over there.

These trouble makers should be dishonorably discharged from the military for incitement.

‘After the bodies of three Israeli teenagers who were kidnapped by Hamas militants . . .’
I have followed this closely, in Jewish, and Middle East media, plus numerous blogs and I have not heard of any evidence that ANY particular persons or group were involved.
Yes, I read the bit where a burnt out vehicle that had belonged to a Hamas commander, had been found on land owned by somebody who is allegedly a member of Hamas. And not to forget the spent cartridge supposedly found in the vehicle.
Absolute proof positive that Hamas had nothing to do with it, I would think, unless of course you are of the opinion that Hamas personnel are absolutely stupid.
But the question that I am asking here, is how did the first line ever pass whoever runs WordPress, how was it allowed to see the light of day?
All we know is that three Israeli Teenagers have been murdered — hardly world shattering news, surely of little significance to anyone outside Israel — but with no evidence whatever, the first line brands Hamas the killers.
In such a situation, speculation surely must follow the old ‘follow the money adage’. In this case who stood to benefit, to who is advantaged by these murders?
Jewish Women have impacted my life, via generouusly inducing my intellectual, artistic, and in practical suggestions & delight in my successes.
In Israel, my Moshavim Farmer was an ‘Apologist’, as my Father had. We adored one another. Later, Euros had been stunned to find that, quote, “Thet talked to you about Politics!”
I have always felt free to express
the shockingly mysoginistic, and embittered uneducated,and frankly,
Stupidity.
This is my story, and it will Be Better
What’s the big deal? You see things like this and worse from the Arabs all the time. How about little kids dressed up in mock suicide vests or the three fingered salutes after the kidnappings?
