The murder of 3 Israeli teenagers whose bodies were found on Sunday was a shocking thing, but no more shocking than the reaction of the Israeli authorities.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the fanatical Israeli Prime Minister, has announced immediately that the Palestinian organisation 'Hamas' is to blame and that they will be made to pay for the atrocity. That there is no evidence to link Hamas with the killings seems to be of no interest to Netanyahu who now appears to have started up another round of government sponsored violence against the Palestinian Arabs whom he sees as infesting his country. At the time of writing, the abduction and brutal killing of a Palestinian teenager, presumably in response to the earlier event, has drawn a somewhat lesser condemnation from the Israeli government and no promise to apprehend the perpetrators or make anyone 'pay'.
Netanyahu and his ilk operate a regime which is every bit as ghastly as that which used to exist in South Africa under apartheid, while professing a degree of religiosity which surely makes decent people vomit. Hiding behind the cloak created by the NAZI's treatment of the Jews, they have persecuted the Arab population, the original inhabitants of the land, for decades, treating them with utter disdain and contempt. Anyone who dares criticise them is branded racist and anti-Semitic, and shouted down; they are untouchable, whatever they do.
That the rest of the world has allowed this shameful situation to persist has to be one of the most disgraceful failings of modern times.
