SHAPIRO: Evil Murderers of Palestinian Boy Provide Fodder for Israel’s Jew-Hating Enemies

There is zero moral equivalence between Israel and those it fights. But that won’t matter to the world.

On Sunday, Jews all over the world woke up to the news that Israeli authorities had arrested six described as “Jewish nationalists” for the murder of 17-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir. They were sickened and horrified by that news. There were no candies in the streets. There were no calls for streets to be named after the alleged murderers. There were no glowing interviews with their parents in the Israeli press, or suggestions that they were heroes or martyrs. There were no governmental officials hedging their bets about the evil acts.

That’s because there is zero moral equivalence between Israel and those it fights. As I wrote last week:

Should it turn out that Jews did perform this disgusting atrocity, the State of Israel will find, prosecute, and give the harshest possible penalty to the perpetrators. That in and of itself destroys any attempted moral equivalence between Israel and her enemies, given that the Hamas-unity government itself stands behind the murder of the three Jewish boys, that the Hamas-unity government propagandized in celebration of their kidnappings and deaths, and that Palestinians celebrated their deaths.

But the world will ignore all of that, and instead pretend that the Jews and the Palestinians are two sides of the same coin. The world will apply Western standards of morality to the Jewish nationalists, as they should – they will not ask about their “root causes” or ponder their anger. They will then ignore those same Western standards, as they always have, when dealing with the Palestinians, suggesting that the kidnapping and murder of three Jewish boys is driven by settlements and security fences.

The Obama administration will continue to paint Israel as an aggressor against Palestinians, and Palestinians as victims of Israeli aggression. They are already placing heavy focus on the beating of Tariq Khdeir, cousin to the slain Palestinian, who reportedly may have been throwing Molotov cocktails at police – a case that will be investigated and prosecuted by the Israeli government; they have said nothing about the Palestinian Arab rioting which has rocked the country for days, Israeli Arabs attacking Jews, Hamas firing rockets at pre-schools in Israel, or an Israeli woman murdered for “nationalistic reasons”.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration will continue to sign checks to the Palestinian Authority-Hamas-Islamic Jihad government, which celebrates and pursues the murder of Jews every single day. And the Obama administration – and the rest of the world — will continue to push the side that doesn’t reward murderers to concede to the side that does. Because Jew hatred is all about double standards and ignoring the facts.
