The moral difference between Hamas and Israel


Life and death with Hamas


This week, we had another depressing illustration of what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says is the defining moral difference between Israel and Hamas.
As The Jerusalem Post reports, thousands of mourners marched Tuesday in honor of two men who were the lead suspects in the murder of three Israeli teens.
The two dead men, Marwan Kawasme and Amar Abu Aysha, were both affiliated with Hamas, and were killed during a gun battle with Israeli troops. Mourners waved Hamas and Palestinian flags as they carried the two bodies through Hebron.
We’re talking about two men whose victims were not soldiers but three Israeli students.
Now compare this to the Israeli response to the horrific, retaliatory killing of 16-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Abu Khudair. Israeli authorities pulled all stops to hunt down and arrest those suspected in the killing.
Three Israelis have now been indicted for the killing of this innocent Arab boy. Two of these suspects also face charges of trying to commit other crimes against Arabs.
