Different reactions between Jews and Arabs

by Rachael Alice Orbach

One only has to point out the difference between the Jews and the Arabs and their natural reactions when they hear of news of kidnapping and murder.

What did the  Jews do, when we heard about the triple murder of the three teenagers,  Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Sha'ar and Naftali Frenkel, and what did the Arabs do when they heard about the kidnapping of a single Arab boy, whose murder was criminal?    

The Arabs riot, throw stones, (not little pebbles, mind you, but 30 cm square  floor tiles) destroy 3 light rail stations the list goes on etc. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/182432#.U7PwZvmSzKh 


What did we Jews do?  We prayed, we cried, we signed petitions, the mothers went to the UN in Geneva, Many people from all over the Jewish world offered support,  We trusted the police and the IDF to find the boys.  We did not destroy bus stops, We did not obstruct justice, or hand out candies in celebration that an Arab boy was kidnapped. 


The UN did not recognize that the three boys were kidnapped, just "missing."  Only now, on July 7th, did the Security Council condemn the murders of the three boys.  


Just pointing out the differences.  Which side do you want to be on?
