Security officials believe the Awwad boys acted on their own volition, and were not following the orders of an established terrorist organization, though they were widely praised by such organizations.

I find this point to be pretty ironic, since I took all kinds of sh!t right here on FreeRepublic when I questioned whether this massacre was carried out by a Palestinian terrorist organization.

Israel has been facing an increasing phenomenon of young Arabs engaging not only in stone throwing, but cold-blooded murder. Security officials and Israeli lawmakers have attributed the trend to poor parenting, to put it lightly, and have noted that Palestinian parents are more often than not ready to help their children cover up such crimes, rather than discipline them.

Very interesting. You could have replaced "Israel" with "U.S." and "Arab" with "African-American" and you'd hardly know the difference.

It sounds to me like sudden jihad syndrome. You know, there is a lot of pretense that it doesn’t happen here very much, but I think we suffer SJS a lot, and it doesn’t impact as much because we have so many more people. It’s all a result of the culture of permissiveness I think. THAT is what needs to be changed.
