A Brutal Murder Shocks Jerusalem

The apparent murder of a 19-year-old girl has shocked Jerusalem. You can read about it here:

I saw no evidence of "brutality" in the report, but perhaps that is due to incompetent journalism.

Here is what I would like to know - did any of these brutal murders shock anyone in Israel?

So far, at least 14,000 children have been killed in Syria by snipers, machine guns, missiles, grenades, roadside bombs and aerial bombs. About a thousand children have been executed. And more than a hundred were tortured and then executed.

You can read the rest @

What kind of people are the Israelis? And why do they seem to ignore this admonition?

"That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn."

Apparently the 14,000 Syrian children were not their "fellow", and that makes such deaths OK. But is that what G-d intended? I find such a thing very hard to believe.
