Palestinian terror and a father's murder of his too-American daughter

Unspeakably sad and yet not surprising. The same coldbloodedness which allowed these parents to kill their daughter is the same coldbloodeadness that allows others like them to send their children, dressed in bomb belts, to detonate on the streets and buses of Israel. The same hatred they show to their own children is the hatred they have for anyone who stands in their way.

These people, the so-called 'Palestinians', for let's make it clear, there is no such thing as 'Palestine' and if there is then Jews are also Palestinians by virtue of where they live, are so consumed with hating that if they don't have a ready victim, they almost have to invent one. They need to "hate" the way the rest of us need a glass of water from time to time. Hatred is taught, yet once learned, is consuming, like any addiction. The 'user' of the emotion, comes to rely on a "high" they get from it and thus begin to look for victims on which to unleash this internal storm. Eventually, if a traditional enemy is not handy, they have to find one, even another Muslim who, thus in their eyes must have transgressed in some way in order to be worthy of their wrath, and then they kill them. In some cases, this may, as here, be a member of their own family.

Only by being made to feel a sense of "shame" for their behaviour, will they ever stop. But even the "shame" is part of this society's sickness. A society based on 'shame' and avoiding it at all costs, or having to kill your own child because the family is being "shamed" is another part of the cycle of shame and retribution or revenge the Palestinian Arabs, abetted by the greedy and corrupt imams, inflict on those around them. No self-examination is allowed; all errors in judgment become the fault of outsiders who must be made to "pay" for some imagined shame or loss. Since criticism of Islam or the teachings of the prophet are not allowed, then this sense of shame must be rejected and thrust onto another, and if 'an outsider' isn't handy, then a member of their own family may substitute, which is what's happened here. Tragic and predictable.
