    TK, 15, who is a tenth-grader in Tampa, Fla., suffered serious injuries in the July 3 beating and is being held under police guard at a hospital..

    Kid was attending his cousin's funeral. Recent reports I'm reading are saying the state department is trying to get him out quickly, which is important because teens are routinely abused in their prison system as with 3rd world prison systems.

    I read about this. Really ****ed up. What happened to the 3 Israeli teens was also ****ed up, but this sort of brutality is not the answer.

    Also, IB4 no condemnation of this from ATW/Crew and only citing what happened to the Israeli kids as defense of the IDF's action.

    Yes, what happened to the 2 palestinian teens, then 3 israeli teens, and now a few palestinian teens is all equally and similarly f***ed up. What makes it more effed up is that these crimes have been committed by authorities and vigilantes. Just chaotic right now.

    How sad that these kids have to lose their lives so that some politicians can polish their pennies and legacies.

    His cousin was the one that was burned alive by extremist settlers in retaliation for the murders of the Israeli kids.

    damn, when someone is handcuffed, you don't have to beat them to this point:

    The IDF has way too many of these excessive brutality cases that are "investigated"...

    Still want to know what they were doing before being accosted by the cops. Also, kind of a gamble sending your non-Jewish kids to Israel in the middle of riots or protests.

    Absolutely horrible. Sad that my tax money goes to a country that condones this. I can't believe those scum pounced on this American kid like that.

    Israel is a terrorist state.

    Yes, it is very sad and despicable that the Palestinian teen got killed and that his cousin allegedly got beaten up by whoever did this. There is no justification for these actions whatsoever.

    Just like there is no justification whatsoever for the murders of the three Israeli teens before. Since you are all so much into posting pictures, just to remind you:

    [​IMG]

    The big difference, however, is that the murder of the three Israeli teens was apparently committed by Hamas, or militants associated to Hamas.

    The head of the Israeli government condemned the killing of the Palestine teen:

    http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-condemns-murder-of-palestinian-teenager/

    Netanyahu (and I am not a fan of his) also called for restraint in Israel in the face of rockets fired out of Gaza by Palestinians:

    http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.603307

    I searched quite a bit, but I could neither find a condemnation of the murder of the Israeli teenagers by Hamas, nor a call for restraint. On the contrary, the Hamas charter begins with:

    It is absolutely obvious who the terrorists are. Hamas.

    Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, the only real ally of the West, the only country not run by people who are associated with a hateful ideology.

    The murder of the Palestinian teen was awful. A kid who attacked cops getting tuned up by the same is what is supposed to happen. This is just like most of the police beatings in America. When a cop tells you to do something, do it. Don't run, don't fight. Certainly don't launch rocks at them with a slingshot.

    This region is held hostage by extremists. The Arabs need to accept that the Israelis aren't going anywhere. At the same time the Israelis need to accept that the Palestinians aren't going anywhere either. Most people on both sides know this but are held hostage from the fear of the extremists of the other.

    Also to note that one of the Israeli teens was an American citizen as well. It's a sad world when our children are the martyrs.

    No, you're not supposed to get "tuned up" while you're laying on your face with your hands tied behind your back.

    The situation is deteriorating, and the hate is something that exists more than just within Hamas or terror organizations. Large segements of both societies simple ****ing hate each other and those xenophpobic elements of intolerence are growing.

    The 15 year old Palestinian-American kid that got beat up had his head covered by a bag and was held down in plain view while the Israeli police kicked and beat him within an inch of his life, and no one is being held accountable for it and few seem to care.

    Have senior police officials condemned the act? No. Has any investigation been made into these cops? No. And the kid? Held without charges on a 3K NIS bail.


    What is happening to Israeli Arabs (meaning Arab citizens inside Israel proper) is an effort to make them collectively respobsible for the actions of terrorist by deliberately deligitimizing them

    Translation of a status update by Ayman Sikseck, author of the novel "To Jaffa," literary critic and columnist, who lives in Jaffa.


    And what does that incitement look like? It looks like this....mobs of angry people shouting "Death to Arabs."

    Dejji, you live in Israel right? You seem to know more than most people.
