Pet Peeve: Jews Condemning Jews Before The Facts are In

Just a few quick words before I get some sleep.

We Jews are our worst enemies, and Israeli Jews are just too expert in taking the blame for what we haven't done. We (in general) are also too quick to think badly of other Jews.

Just because an Arab boy was found dead, burned beyond recognition after Arab terrorists murdered three Jewish Israeli boys, does not mean that Jews should be the first suspected of killing the Arab. It also isn't the time for high-minded superior-sounding words condemning all killings even the killing of Arabs.

At this point we should be concentrating on healing and making sure the world understands how violent and anti-life the Arabs can be.


A crucial section of Jerusalem's lightrail tracks have been destroyed.

The night the boys had been captured and murdered Arabs were celebrating all over the country. That was a definite sign they had been murdered and that most Arabs were glad.



This is not the time to suspect and accuse Jews of such behavior.

I doubt that there were Jews involved in killing and burning that Arab kid, and only if it is completely and undeniably proven that Jews were involved would I change my opinion about it.

The ongoing cultural violence in Arab society, honor killings, brutal murders like how they butchered quite a number of Jews in previous attacks and killed the three teenagers just three weeks ago put the odds in their direction.

Please voice your opinion in the comments and share this post if you agree, thanks.

Total agreement. I think most people are unaware of just how murderous the Arab culture is, amongst themselves, that is. But this is going to be just like the Al Dura case. Apologise first, the case becomes a cause celebre with Arabs and their useful idiots, and years later prove the truth, when the myth is firmly entrenched with said camp and of little relevance.

What's common is common. Arabs kill each other. Period!

On a slight digression, I am perturbed by the number of attacks by Arabs on Jews that go unreported. I know someone who was hit by a stone who suffered severe concussion for over a year and didn't even make the statistics as being a victim of terrorism. About two days ago, someone told me they saw an Arab slash the face of a Jewish man on the Jerusalem light railway, and as far as I'm aware this case didn't even make the news. Today a man who works near the Jerusalem shuk said that Arabs there are often attacking Jews, and the Jews don't report it to the police, as at best they won't do anything, or will arrest the victim.

Totally agree with you. Cannot understand how Jews jump to blame fellow Jews (without any proof) of such behavior, when we know this is the way of the Arabs, who have been murdering Jews for decades in the State and forever before then. This is galut mentality to bow down to the nations, even if it means lying, demonizing fellow Jews, etc., etc. Shame on such Jews. Believe this will prove that this murder was not done by a Jew (especially by the horrific way this poor teen was murdered [burnt]), but by one of their own.

Agree with all the above comments, thus far. Torah says it all: 'pereh adam'.

Batya, you always speak the truth, and i agree always with what you say.

i also would like you to know, that as soon as i read it on the INR news page, i knew this was a lie.. No Jew could do such an horid thing, especially after the burial of those three precious souls.

May Maschiach come and bring justice. Amen.
May the enemies of Am Israel be crushed forever. Amen. Lets stay strong and look to Hashem. Amen.

amazing fact: while it is well known that in every country in the world there are cases of murder and child abuse (which is why every country in the world has a police dept with homicide squad, and a child protective services) there are NEVER any cases of murder or child abuse in the Arab parts of Eretz Yisrael. it is truly amazing! every person who dies there, regardless of age, was "killed by Israeli soldiers". (and did I mention that if someone murders their kid in Ramallah they get no compensation, but if they can claim that the kid was killed "by Israel" then they get a lifelong salary? just sayin...)

Of course you are right, Batya!

Of course this is not our Jewish youth who killed the Arab boy, but if it is, there is no one to blame, except Israel's government. The government must protect its civilians - Gaza should be recaptured, Judea and Samaria occupied. Why Ukraine can defend itself? Putin invaded Crimea (in addition to Abkhazia and Ossetia) not in response to an enemy attack, but there actually was no reaction from the West. In Israel there is an ongoing, endless war, civilians are dying. The boys are not the first victims of this war and I am afraid not the last, until the leaders come back to their senses.

a, Leah, CDG and Inna, I guess we're all the "silent majority." I write because if not I'll go nuts.

and now? you still doubt?

Until proven. Such a thing is so far from anything I can imagine...

I commend you for the fact that you do not believe in the guilt of a person or a group until it is proven.

However, you do not seem to be that careful in other cases.

Which would lead me to believe that you are biased.
