Kidnapped Israeli teens found dead in West Bank

The Israeli army has identified the remains of three teenaged Yeshiva students who were reportedly kidnapped by Hamas. One of the three is from Brooklyn, NY, and has dual US-Israeli citizenship.
Somehow, I doubt we'll be seeing a bunch of sympathy for these boys and their families but, instead, a bunch of vitrol aimed at the "Israeli occupiers", etc.

Pretty much.
The only reason that Israel didn't go all-out against them yet was the belief that these three were still alive.

Let's see Obama set up about these three. Never saw any hashtag signs about them.

This alert just came across my phone.
Disgusting.
Why kidnap and kill 3 innocent boys? I hope Israel fricks them up.

Fwiw, Hannity talked about this a lot last night. He had #BringBackOurBoys or something like that.
One was American. They were interviewing the parents. Prayers sent to the families.

Pretty sure you won't have to hope too hard.

The sick fricking pathology of "Palestinians" justifies killing any Israeli, even children.
These are people who build memorials celebrating the Sbarro bombing which killed many Israeli civilians.
The restraint by Israel in not wiping these scumbags off the face of the Earth is admirable.

Red lines will be drawn and calls will be made, I'm sure.
Israel has nukes, right? Not that I'm hoping for that. Just a question.

Obama: "Give us those boys or else!"

Obama: "Or we'll be very angry with you. And we'll send you a letter telling you how angry we are with you!"
America, frick Yeah!

I would leave this part out next time if you don't want ugly responses. Citizenship status looks like that of our political class in DC.

Yes, but not officially confirmed by the Israeli government.

I have plenty of sympathy for these kids. I am sure they had a horrible terrifying experience before they lost their lives.
I also feel for the victims of Mexican drug cartel violence, many of whom are Americans. Mexico has a kidnap rate unmatched in the world, and several dozen cases involving American tourists are on the books right now. Most of these cases will end when the bodies are found mutilated or simply be closed when no proof of life is obtained.
A quote from this article:
quote:
In fact, the locals appeared so accustomed to seeing kidnapping victims that Andersen said "people saw me, knew what was going on and didn't say anything. And the cartel guys, they weren't hiding their identity either. They paraded us like treasure. Like a trophy deer."
I am completely shocked how little the average American knows about acts of violence perpetrated by South and Central American cartels on our border, within our border, and on our citizens while abroad. Los Zetas alone has committed atrocities on innocent people that rival anything Israel has ever seen and they do it at a rate that is simply astonishing. Mexico sees more terrorism and violence than Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel combined. Let that soak in. On top of this, Violence in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel is very rarely targeted at American travelers. VERY RARELY.
This link is NSFW. DO NOT OPEN THIS LINK IF YOU DON't WANT TO SEE EXTREME VIOLENCE!!!!!!!
The Zs doing the lords work
Mexico has a violent crime and terrorism rate the is higher than every single middle eastern country, including Iraq, Israel and all of North Africa. It is among the highest in the world, 5 times higher than Somalia (everyone's favorite punching bag). From 2006-2014, more than 300 Americans were murdered in Mexico, many of them were targeted killings and some were federal agents. Often these murders are botched kidnappings or executions.
So, in response to your "sympathy" comment:
Israel is not even in the top 25 (maybe 50) countries in the world when it comes to violence and terrorism. A citizen or traveler to Israel or Palestine has a significantly lower statistical chance of encountering violence than that same traveler in Mexico or South Africa. So no, the story of Israeli teens being kidnapped and killed, while tragic and infuriating, doesn't resonate more strongly with me than what goes on in our neighboring country on a daily basis.

They were settlers. I blame their parents for putting them in that situation.

Is there ANY evidence that Hamas was involved?
