Three of the six suspects confressed to the murder of Mohammad Abu Khdeir from Shuafat and reenacted it in the area his body was dumped in the forest outside Jerusalem on Monday.

The mother of one of the six suspects, whose son may or may not be one of the three to confess, told Ynet: "We're shattered and this thing is very difficult for us. My son has nothing to do with this and he will go free. This is crazy because he's only 16."

Six suspects in the murder of the 16-year-old from Shuafat were arrested on Sunday morning. The Petah Tikva Magistrate's Court extended the remand of five of the six suspected in the kidnapping and murder of Abu Khdeir in eight days, despite the fact police sought a 15-days extension. The remand of the sixth suspect was extended in five days.

If that law is applicable in this instance it should be equally enforced. Kurska Jul 2014 #5

Completely self-destructive and most of all a horrific crime. They ought to be punished just as severely as any Palestinian terrorist.

purpose of making Palestinians' miserable.

Or, to use the parlance of the Israeli supreme court, 'deterrence.'

There is a 0.0 percent chance the IDF will demolish these suspects' homes after demolishing the homes of the suspected Palestinian criminals. The reason is apartheid.

Terrorism is terrorism and it ought to be treated the same no matter who it is coming from.

in that part of the world.

All that matters are ends and means. Treating Jewish terrorism exactly like it treats Palestinian terrorism doesn't accomplish anything for the Israelis, ergo they won't do it.

I'm not the architect of any kind of major Israeli policy. I'm just giving you my opinion.
