Netanyahu unequivocally condemns murder of Arab teen Abu Khdeir

Within hours of the police announcement that Jews were arrested for the killing of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu unequivocally condemned the murders Sunday evening that there was no place “for those kind of murderers in Israeli society.”

Speaking during a visit to the home of the parents of Naftali Fraenkel, one of the Israeli teens kidnapped and murdered last week, Netanyahu said that Israel will punish the murderers. “That is how we are different from our neighbors,” he said. “Their murderers are hailed as heroes and public squares are named in their honor.”

Netanyahu called on all sides to “show responsibility” and not inflame the situation.

Referring to Jewish hate crimes against Arabs, Netanyahu said the “we are opposed to 'price tag attacks.' In the same way, he said in a reference to the recent days of Israeli Arab rioting, “we are opposed to petrol bombs, rock-throwing, and blocking roads.

He is right to condemn. Both sides are out of control and need to figure out how to stop the nonsense.

'Cause Netanyahu's basically exploiting this as another opportunity to bestialize Palestinians, as the content makes clear.
