Mohammed Abu Khdeir

My heart goes out to the parents, family and friends of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, the Palestinian teenager whose burned body was found in the Jerusalem forest. At present it is not known who is responsible for his death. I just hope against hope that it was not Jewish extremists who killed him in revenge for the murder of the three Israeli youths. Should it be Jews responsible for this atrocity their action would divide Israel and the whole Jewish world. Such revenge killing cannot be condoned in any circumstance. What did the murderers hope to achieve? I what way did they imagine that this murder would make Israel a safer place, bring peace nearer? And if they were religious zealots I hope that the entire religious leadership would condemn them.
