Why United States Justice is Superior to Israel.

We don't round up people in their beds, enter their homes illegally to search, and shoot dead teenagers who protest such heavy-handed actions. This is justice Israeli-style: Never Forget.

JERUSALEM — Israeli troops killed a Palestinian youth before dawn Friday and seriously injured several adults as their sweeping West Bank arrest campaign following last week’s disappearance of three Israeli teenagers both slowed and encountered more resistance.

About 25 Palestinians were rounded up overnight, the Israeli military said in a statement, less than half the typical daily number earlier this week. The arrests bring the total detained since Saturday to 330, 240 of them leaders of the militant Islamic movement Hamas. Troops confiscated material from nine Hamas-affiliated institutions, according to the military, among a total of 1,150 locations scoured in the past week.

Israel insists Hamas is responsible for the abduction but has offered no proof. Three other groups have made dubious claims of credit.

The early days of Israel’s crackdown generally proceeded quietly, as former Hamas ministers and lawmakers acceded to arrest and Palestinian families in the Hebron area watched soldiers conduct house-to-house searches almost like sport. But on Friday morning Israeli troops “faced sporadic confrontations,” the military statement said, with rocks, Molotov cocktails, grenades, fireworks and improvised explosives thrown at them, responding in some cases with live ammunition to what officials called a “life-endangering threat.”

Witnesses in Dura, a West Bank town of 28,000 near Hebron, said Mohammed Jihad Dudeen, 15, was fatally shot around 5 a.m., as he and other youths hurled rocks at some 150 soldiers storming their neighborhood. “One of them crouched and opened fire on the boy,” said Bassam al-Awadeh, 42, who said he watched from about 150 yards away. “The boy was hit in his heart and his abdomen.”

Shot through the heart... and you're to blame.
Darlin', you give Justice... a bad name.
Used your guns, and you played your games...
Darlin', you give Justice... a bad name.

"Thou Shalt Not Kill"
I don't believe this soldier's life was endangered by hurled rocks and stones. I don't think such a killing is justified, even if he was fearful and angry at the "people" he believed kidnapped his countrymen.

G-d does not endorse this type of behavior. He never has. Never forget.

“It’s to be expected that there will be some more friction on the ground,” Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said.

“The mission is ongoing. It is a substantial mission, the most substantial mission in Judea and Samaria since 2002,” Colonel Lerner said, using the biblical names for the West Bank.

“But it is the most substantial terrorist attack in Judea and Samaria also in recent years. People can’t expect to just hijack little boys on their way home from school and we won’t do anything about it.”

This is not how a successful country "defends" itself.
It honestly makes one wonder: is Israel intentionally provoking another infatida?

The three missing teenagers — Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, who is also 16 and is a citizen of both Israel and the United States — were last heard from on June 12 around 10 p.m. as they hitchhiked home from their yeshivas in West Bank settlements. One of the teenagers called a police hotline and whispered, “I’ve been kidnapped,” but the authorities thought it was a crank call and did not begin their search for hours.

Tension was not only mounting between Israeli troops and Palestinian residents, but also between the Palestinian factions whose April reconciliation pact paved the way for a consensus government that was sworn in June 2. President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority has condemned the kidnappers and vowed not to let the situation descend into an intifada, or uprising, prompting harsh criticism from his Hamas partners, who said no means would be spared in opposing Israel’s campaign.

“We are capable of igniting a third intifada, and no one will be able to prevent this right of ours once the pressure on the Palestinian people mounts,” Salah al-Bardaweel, a prominent Hamas leader in Gaza, said on Thursday. “We will not stand idly by in the face of the crimes of the occupation in the West Bank.”

The Palestinian people simply want to see some proof.

Riyad al-Malki, the Palestinian Authority foreign minister, acknowledged Friday that if Hamas were culpable for the kidnapping, it would threaten the new government, but demanded that Israel provide proof and called its reaction “exaggerated.”

“If Netanyahu has any evidence, he has to put it on the table,” Mr. al-Malki told Agence France Presse at a conference in Paris.

“Three kids have disappeared but in exchange for that the Israeli Army has taken 300 Palestinians,” he added. “Their reaction went beyond logic, and what infuriates me the most is the lack of reaction from the international community.”

Rest assured, we are watching here.
As are some inside Israel:

Yoav Limor, writing in the free daily Israel Today, said the military “has nearly maximized its ability to attack Hamas’s infrastructure” and that its leaders “are worried about increasing friction with the Palestinian civilian population.”
