Livni Condemns Murder of Arab Teen, Then Retracts

Livni Condemns Murder of Arab Teen, Then Retracts, Israel National News, Yosef Berger,  July 2, 2014

Speaking to Arutz Sheva on condition of anonymity, A senior retired police official noted that the family of the murdered 16-year-old was well known to police sources in Jerusalem, adding “it’s a problematic family with internal clashes that have been ongoing for many years. I have no doubt that as time passes it will be clarified that the murder was criminal and nothing more.”

 

Apparently a little too “quick on the trigger,” Justice Minister Tzipi Livni retracted a Twitter post she wrote condemning the “murderers of an Arab child who seek to turn us into a society of killers,” after the abduction and murder of an Arab youth Wednesday.

Calling the killing of an Arab youth “shocking,” Livni wrote that “the murderers must be found and tried immediately. Nothing must stop us. This is the difference between the State of Israel and a terror organization.”

While she did not point any fingers in her post, she did drop a hint as to those she felt responsible. Implying that the killers of an Arab youth allegedly abducted and found dead in a Jerusalem forest were Jewish, Livni wrote that “we must punish those who want to turn us into a society of killers. This cannot be allowed to happen in Israel.”

The messages was posted at roughly 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, but a few minutes later disappeared – never to return. Livni has not explained why she backtracked on the post.

The reason might be because of the strong possibility that the murder was carried out not by Jews, but by Arabs – and family members at that.

Speaking to Arutz Sheva on condition of anonymity, A senior retired police official noted that the family of the murdered 16-year-old was well known to police sources in Jerusalem, adding “it’s a problematic family with internal clashes that have been ongoing for many years. I have no doubt that as time passes it will be clarified that the murder was criminal and nothing more.”

Quoting eye witnesses, IDF Radio said a black car had stopped by an Arab youth in Jerusalem’s Beit Hanina who was hitchhiking and he was forced inside. The car then took off. Some time later, the family of the youth reported him missing, it said.

The burnt body of an Arab youth was later found in the Jerusalem Forest area. Police have not formally confirmed the body is that of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khder who was kidnapped, reports AFP.

Wild rumors and speculation have abounded that the youth was possibly was murdered by Jews as a possible act of revenge after the kidnapping murder of three Jewish teens. However, as the official revealed, reports indicate that the abduction likely was carried out by Arabs and that the murder was an “honor killing” or another kind of criminal murder.

In response to the discovery of the body, there have been massive Arab riots in and around Jerusalem throughout Wednesday, causing massive damage.

During the ensuing riots in Beit Hanina and Shuafat, several Arab residents reportedly attacked a young local Arab, possibly indicating the internal clashes the police source spoke of. Police forces rescued the youth, who did not require medical treatment. The rioters were dispersed by the police force and the assaulted youth left the area.

    Reader Post: There is Only One Policy Left For Israel To Implement

    Posted by: Yonatan Knickerbocker July 2, 2014

    How can it be? 3 wonderful souls, dragged out of our reality and brutally killed. The pain, the anguish – how can their Mothers even begin to bear it? I don’t know, I just can’t fathom it. I don’t know these 3 young adults, but they fit into the same age group as my younger kids. It hits as hard as anything I can remember. I’m so sad, I’m so mad, I can’t contain all the emotions that are built up..

    I hate to even talk about something else, but it is there – burning a hole inside of me. We put up with this idiotic policy from one government to the next. It is the reason we continue to lose our loved ones from incident to incident. Let’s be clear here: There is no opportunity for any kind of 2 state peace here. Zero chance. So why do we continue to play this game with the rest of the world? Why do we allow the leftists in our midst to have a voice that is magnitudes louder than their numbers in our society represent? Why do we put up with successive right wing governments that enact left wing policies? It is literally killing us.

    A government is supposed to reflect the will of the people. When was the last time that happened? We continue to get the “wisdom” of Shimon Peres crammed down our collective throats. The first thing that Bibi does is give Livni the Ministry of Justice and the chief negotiator position? Why? Why would he do this and why would we put up with it? We are not going to be cowed into listening to the nations any longer. We are not going to give any credence to the leftist ideology any longer. It’s over, finally.

    We have a way forward here. Annex all of Yehuda v’Shomron. ALL OF IT. The local Arabs that live there have 3 choices: Live with us in peace, move somewhere else or die defending your cause. There will be a period of violence, but what do you think our 3 sons just endured? What? We should continue to allow our Sons and Daughters to pay the price to salve our need to be one with the rest of the world? Just look at the results in the last year. Sleeping on the bus, going to a job interview, going home with a work colleague – any of these activities can end up with death. Ours. Never theirs. Let that sink in.

    It is time to finish this charade. We allow the government to tell us that we cannot pray on Har Habayit. That we cannot even ascend it. Who’s in charge here, because they need to get fired – and now. If you don’t have the stones for the job, leave it or be shown the door.

    I will be attending the funeral of the boys in my hometown of Modiin today, along with other members of my family and friends. I am grateful that the boys were able to realize the the mitzvah of living in Eretz Yisrael. I’m grateful for the boys families, who have shown so much strength throughout this ordeal. We are indebted to you forever for the sacrifice that was taken from you.

    Things are not going to go back to “normal”. We refuse to be put back into the box that has been containing us for so long now. If this form of government doesn’t have the ability to do that which we want it to do, then it is time to replace this form of government.

    Please God, give us the ability to discern your will and the strength to carry it out.
