[King_David]

The nation of Israel and Jewish people around the world are mourning the tragic deaths of three yeshiva boys on their way home 18 days ago.

The following are statements by elected officials, leader and Jewish organizations following the announcement of the tragic news:

1. Why there is so much violence in Israel/Palestine

So, the Israeli government is going on a killing and destroying rampage to avenge this crime.

And all of the Palestinians killed or maimed in this orgy of revenge will be no consequences.

We wonder why the cycle of hate continues -- both Israel and the Palestinians need some real leaders with the courage to do the hard work for peace; we are certainly not seeing that today.

2. Hours after the corpses were found, Israel conducted 34 bombing-raids on Gaza-strip.

How many people died in those bombings?

How many people were killed by the retaliatory attacks of the IDF during the search?

Do dead Palestinians make headlines in Israel? Are they ignored? Or are they cheered upon?

4. Articles headline is all I caps in original

Are you a mod ? Admin? Or just self appointed in charge bossy type who likes telling people what to do ?

5. How many Palestinian children will die as a result of Israeli retaliation?

My guess is probably a lot more, and they won't get much media coverage.

7. I think you actually just helped make my point

I highly doubt that Palestinian children killed during any Israeli military retaliation will get anywhere near the level of attention as those Israeli teens.

My post isn't to belittle the Israeli teens who died, but rather to point out how the media can often be one-sided.

9. It's an observation that resembles reality.

That doesn't change the fact that a lot of Palestinian and Israeli youth are dead.

May all their murderers be brought to justice.
