(Israeli) Sources: Revenge most likely motive in teens death
Israeli police have become increasingly convinced that 16-year-old Jerusalem resident Mohammed Abu Khdeir was murdered Wednesday morning as revenge for the killing of three kidnapped Israeli teens, officials said Wednesday evening.
Security camera footage from the scene of Abu Khdeirs kidnapping strengthened investigators suspicions that Jewish extremists snatched the teen, Channel 2 reported.
Police are still looking into the possibility of a criminal motive for the attack, or even an honor killing, but sources told Channel 10 that the family has no criminal history.
The sources also said rumors claiming that Abu Khdeir was killed because he was gay, or because hed had sexual encounters with local girls, are baseless.

Golda was right but now we replace "Arabs" with "both sides" and 'Jews" with "enemies."

Funny, I thought Arafat said that and it was the reverse. Everyone is blind with revenge and hate.

And false equivalence is here. (Golda was just subtle in expressing her hatred.)

while I wouldn't call the Jewish Press entirely unreliable, it was in this case but it was early on
