A 15-year-old American high school student was beaten and jailed by Israeli police in what his mother called an “attempted murder," as the incident happened a day after his cousin was killed.
The teen, Tariq Abu Khdeir from Tampa, Florida, was on a summer holiday with his parents and sisters in Jerusalem, visiting family in the eastern part of the city. Video clips posted online show three Israeli police officers in riot gear repeatedly beating a young Palestinian, identified as Abu Khdeir by his family, and dragging him away to arrest him.
On Wednesday morning, Tariq’s cousin, 16-year-old Muhammad Abu Khdeir, was murdered in what is widely believed to have been a revenge attack for the recent kidnapping and murder of three Israeli Jewish teens.

Any outrage against Arab/Palestinian the world goes nuts. Any outrage against Jews, crickets and frogs from the world.

We don’t know that they did. In fact, some say he may have been “honor killed” by his family because he was gay.
I thought it was Little Johnny Jihad!
As soon as I read the headline, I knew the teen's name would not be Tom Rover, Ken Holt or Frank Hardy.
This jihadi is not an American; he is a colonist.
“I have a feeling there is a little something more to this story that we have not been told.”.........
My thoughts exactly. Probably was there shooting his mouth off thinking he as here in the U.S. where he would be protected due to his age, not so in Israel.
I’m part of your club. I have a real difficulty with American Arabs and American Muslims.
This incident will definitely grow legs
This “American” teen was probably used to rioting where the police won’t kick your ass if you get caught.
The article says “widely believe”. Global Warming is widely believed too.
Not only that, but in the muzz world, everybody is everybody’s “cousin”.
If you catch my drift.
Is he related to the former “young American tourist” Rachel Corrie?
Agreed. Tampa is a little incubator, as well.
