Police Monday morning have said that three of the six suspects arrested over the murder of Arab teen Mohammed Abu-Khder have admitted to the crime, and have even reenacted it for police.

The development came after one of the suspects admitted to the murder soon after being arrested on Sunday. After confessing he also apparently implicated several others, which seems to have led to the latest confessions.

It comes as more information emerges about the circumstances of Mohammed Abu-Khder's death. An initial pathologist's report indicates that the teen was burned alive, with his body suffering 90% burns. He was murdered soon after being abducted on Tuesday night, hours after the funeral of three Israeli teens murdered by Hamas terrorists in similar circumstances and fueling speculation he was the victim of a "revenge" attack.

Remand of five of the six suspects has been extended for eight days, and the sixth's remand has been extended for five more days, to allow police to continue with their inquiries.

The suspects - described by security services as "Jewish extremists" - reportedly include several minors....

OK. So I have to concede that it was Jews who did it. As an extremist, I am disgusted. As a Jew, I am appalled.

Now the Ghaza police will turn in their two suspects on the abduction of the three teens, of course. Right after the parade in their honor.

Well, chalk me up wrong on this one. I would have given 99 to 1 odds that this was not the ‘revenge murder’ as painted by the media.

If true, I hope the murderers get the most severe sentence possible. However, we should keep in mind that even a confession is not always true, and a police claim of a confession may also be inaccurate (more likely true than not, for both concerns, but a significant minority of cases are exceptions). The plausibility of this story depends on how they were questioned, and whether the alleged murderers provided closely-held details or were prompted with those details and merely confirmed them under intense professional interrogation. Lock them up for their own safety and for the safety of others. Give them a lawyer and a fair trial. Then condemn them if they are convicted.

It’s a shame, because one incident like this by the “good guys” will be remembered forever and always offered up by the left as evidence against them, while thousands of crimes by the “bad guys” are instantly forgotten.

And because of this no one in the media is even mentioning the three Israeli teens who were slaughtered by Hamas..their murders don’t even get a peep in the press anymore

Yes, this type of incident is shocking precisely because it is rare and out of character for the Jewish people. For the muslims, murdering Jews is sport.

Notice how the default assumption is truly that Jews are better than this, so anything that can be used against them is eagerly exploited. Kind of like how the left is eager to scrutinize and demonize conservatives, watching for less-than-perfect adherence to their own (the conservatives') moral code.

With that, the false accusers unwittingly bear *true* witness to the goodness of the people and cultures they attack and denigrate. Otherwise they wouldn't be so shocked and outraged when a Jew falls short of moral expectations. Nobody is shocked when a muslim, for example, flies into a murderous rage.
