........Of course newspapers can be inaccurate, but just how much room do you think there is for inaccuracy here?

eno_ Tell me how many facts are presented in this article.
Listen to what I am saying. You or I will never know the real circumstances of this altercation. Perhaps it was jewish animosity toward the Arab. We could ask the next door neighbor of the uncle of the Arab girl for his opinion. I will wager that it will be different from Mr.H's opinion as expressed in the article. What would make the neighbors opinion any less valid? My point is that this is a very biased article as is the response from most posters.

Perhaps this is what is meant by the Arab worlds allegations that the U.S. is incapable of brokering peace in the middle east. You suppose?

Here's one......

"The attack was the culmination of weeks of taunting and tormenting by this group, led by one particular Arab girl"

Sounds like a coordinated effort to make one girls life a living hell.

As others have pointed out there is a clear indication this was not an isolated event or fluke: "The attack was the culmination of weeks of taunting and tormenting by this group, led by one particular Arab girl"

I have no inherent buy-in to Israel. But by what objective standard can it be said that Arabs have run their affairs with the best interests of the citizens of Arab countries in mind? Israel stands out as a country with rule-of-law and representative government amid a cesspool of dictatorships, cleptocracies, retrograde monarchies, and murderous nutbags. And in this case, what reason do I have to think that this beating was a Zionist Conspiracy to draw sympathy? It sure looks like a bunch of low-life adherents to the "Religion of Peace" thrashed this girl for her beliefs. Send the perps back home so they can use sand for toilet paper and toothpaste. That appears to be their level of civilization.
