Israeli leaders promote slaughter of Palestinian children, then feign outrage

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the architect of last summer’s 51-day assault that killed 551 Palestinian children in Gaza, responded to the settler attack with a statement that his government is “united in strong opposition to such deplorable and awful acts.” This is the same man who, following the discovery of the bodies of three kidnapped Israeli teens one year ago, issued a call for blood vengeance, essentially lighting the match that burned alive 16-year-old Palestinian Muhammad Abu Khudair. As journalist Dan Cohen observed, it seems vigilante burnings of Palestinian children have become a yearly Israeli ritual."
