Bodies of three Jewish kidnapped teens found murdered by Hamas near Hebron

Jun 30, 2014 4:02 pm By Robert Spencer

jewish-kidnapped-teensIslamic supremacists and Leftists in the U.S. will continue to pretend that the “Palestinians” have the moral high ground. So will Barack Obama. But when was the last time Israelis kidnapped and murdered three “Palestinian” teenagers, with top Israeli officials praising the kidnapping? Right, never.

“Three Bodies Found Believed to Be Missing Israelis,” by Jodi Rudoren and Isabel Kershner, New York Times, June 30, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

JERUSALEM — Israeli searchers on Monday found three bodies believed to be those of the missing Israeli teenagers who were abducted more than two weeks ago in the occupied West Bank, the government of Israel said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel called an emergency cabinet meeting as calls for a tough response escalated.

“With very heavy sorrow we found three bodies this evening and all the signs point to them being the bodies of our three kidnapped youths,” Mr. Netanyahu said.

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a senior spokesman for the Israeli military, said three bodies were found at 5 p.m. “under a pile of rocks in an open field” between Halhul and Beit Kahil, two Palestinian towns near Hebron. The location was an area that thousands of soldiers had been scouring for more than a week. The bodies “are being transferred for forensic identification,” Colonel Lerner, declining to say whether they were clothed or otherwise contained visual clues of identity. “We have informed the families that we found the bodies and that final identification is pending.”

The disappearances set off an uproar in Israel and deeply aggravated the already strained relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which had just taken steps to form a unity government backed by Hamas, the militant group that controls the Gaza Strip. Israeli officials, who have rejected that government, have identified two Palestinians from Hebron they say are affiliated with Hamas as prime suspects. Hamas did not take responsibility, but praised the abductions.

The intensity and scope of the Israeli security operation to find the missing teenagers was the biggest in the West Bank in more than a decade, and has left at least five Palestinians dead.

There were no public statements from Palestinian leaders to the news of the discovered bodies. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority; Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian peace negotiator; and Xavier Abu Eid, spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Organization, did not answer telephone calls or immediately respond to messages….

    Coincidentally the bodies were discovered by a team from the Kfar Etzion field school and the IDF. Kfar Etzion has quite a history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kfar_Etzion_massacre

    To the families of Eyal, Gi-lad, and Naftali: May God comfort you among the other mourners of Zion …

      Teach them a lesson they’ll not soon forget. You can’t kill Jews and get away with it. Hitler eventually learned that lesson. And so must Hamas.

      G-d Bless Israel!

    There are no words…

    Hamas seeks only to provoke knowing that in the Middle East only violence is respected, but in the Western anti-Semitic press Israel will be blamed.

    The best action now is to export all Hamas members from the West Bank to Gaza. Let them kill each other in that vile enclave they have created.

    Let’s hope there are no more prisoners taken by the Israelis to be pampered in Israeli jails at Israeli expense–either death or expulsion.

    ………………………………….

    These *poor kids*. And their poor families—my thoughts will be with them.

    *This* is what pious Muslims do—kidnap and murder *kids*. *Ugh*.

    And one of the victims was a visiting American.

    ………………………………….

    Yes—even before Jihad reared its ugly head again in its “modern” form, hard Leftists have always had a soft spot for homicidal thugs, whether murderous Communist regimes or monsters on Death Row. And now they have Jihadists to “love”…*Ugh*.

    More:

    But when was the last time Israelis kidnapped and murdered three “Palestinian” teenagers, with top Israeli officials praising the kidnapping? Right, never.
    ………………………………….

    Of course not. The perversity of ‘they are more civilized, because they are less civilized’—sickening.

    ………………………………….

    How can you *not* have “strained relations” with an outfit that praises the abduction—and presumably the ensuing murder—of *kids*?

    Further, of course, they seek the out and out destruction of Israel.

    Of course, Fatah does, as well—but Hamas isn’t even putting a fig leaf over their genocidal intentions. And yet, much of the West *still* believes Israel should have to negotiate with such a “unity government”. Suicidal madness…

    My condolences to the families of the three murdered Jewish children. This is so horribly sad. My thoughts are with the people of Israel and all those who had hoped these children would be found alive.

    Addressing any Israelis here posting or lurking:

    Deepest condolences.

    May all those responsible for this murder be swiftly caught and punished.

    Furthermore: this murder was driven, at bottom, by nothing other than the venomous Jew-hatred that is hardwired into the core texts of Islam. Once one realizes this, one realizes that the Arab Muslim (and Persian, and Turkish, and every other kind of Muslim) war against the Jewish state of Israel is Jihad, one subset or front or prong of the Global Jihad against everything not-Islam, and that it will never stop. It can only be contained, or deterred, if the Ummah or Mohammedan Mob learns – by repeated painful experience – that attacking Israel will get them **nothing**; that Israel will inflict devastating punishment in response to any attack or attempted attack.

    Any reports on the condition of the bodies?

    three bodies were found at 5 p.m. “under a pile of rocks in an open field” … The bodies “are being transferred for forensic identification,” Colonel Lerner, declining to say whether they were clothed or otherwise contained visual clues of identity.

    Rather vague. It beggars belief that the bodies were not disfigured (let alone decapitated) from extended torture and possibly post-mortem mutilation.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      I was wondering the same thing, Voegelinian …my first thought when I learned of this was ‘were they found decapitated’? And I would be shocked it they weren’t mutilated. And for justice sake it *matters* how they were murdered, so hopefully the details will be released soon.

      Such savages!!

  12. voegelinian says

    Jun 30, 2014 at 8:48 pm

    An interesting sentence in the report:

    The intensity and scope of the Israeli security operation to find the missing teenagers was the biggest in the West Bank in more than a decade, and has left at least five Palestinians dead.

    Knowing that the Israelis don’t kill except in self-defense, one wonders what the circumstances were of those five “Palestinians”, and one reasonably assumes they attacked the search parties.

    Is Israel going to fight back against these savage Muslims this time?

    Or just offer more flowery words about peace?

    Once upon a time the Muslims used to know that a Jew is most valuable when kept alive. When Al Andalus was conquered by the rampaging Christians, the Jews fled along with the Muslims into what is today Morocco in order to escape the ruthless Christian persecution. We offered them protection in exchange for a small contribution out of their pockets in the form of Jizya. The thing is, even a small amount of Jizya from the Jews is a large sum of money b/c they are so filthy rich. So in the end it is better to leave them live in peace and eventually squeeze some Jizya from them.

    Even though any Jew should know better than to trespass on the lands of the Muslims – especially knowing that many Muslims are less tolerant of them than I am. I still pray to Almighty Allah (swt) that He has offered these young ppl the chance to convert to Islam before dying so as to enter Paradise.

      B*ST*RD.

      Jew-hater. (But thanks for telling us that you have the mind and heart of a mafioso THUG – wanting to keep Jews alive so you can live off them like a bloodsucking parasite – same as does a tick, a tapeworm, or a vampire; you make me want to puke).

      Sh*thead. (I am addressing the demon that sits inside your head and eats your mind and your heart and your soul, leaving a hollow void).

      Get out. Get out. Get out. And shut your filthy, evil mouth. You insult their memory.

      Go. to. Hell. (And if you don’t ditch Islam, one day you wil *be* there; and just before you find yourself there, you will see the Judge of Heaven and Earth and guess what – He is a *Jew*).

      Those three young Jews would *never* have converted to your disgusting cult-cum-crime-syndicate/ extortion racket.

      I am 100 percent prepared to bet that they did as did Sol Hachuel ; that the Sh’ma Yisroel, the confession of faith in the Holy One of Israel, HaShem, YHWH, He Who Is, was in their hearts if not on their lips, as they died, kiddush ha’shem.

      A blessing on their memory.
