In the aftermath of the kidnapping and killing of three Jewish boys in Hebron, the world has now fixed its attention on the killing of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 17, a Palestinian youth whose burned body was found in the Jerusalem Forest. The world immediately jumped to the conclusion that the vengeful Jews must have killed the boy.

For much of the world the fact that Israel is full of Jews is all the evidence they need.
I often in write-ups such as this one think of the Bob Dylan song over 30 years ago, “Neighborhood Bully”, which is about Israel.
Well the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man
His enemies say he’s on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He’s the neighborhood bully
Neighborhood bully, he just lives to survive
He’s criticized and condemned for being alive
Not supposed to fight back and have thick skin
Supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He’s the neighborhood bully
Neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
He’s wandered the earth, an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, people hounded and torn
He’s always on trial for just being born
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said, “He should apologize”
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, ain’t nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him, he was supposed to feel bad
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he’ll live by the rules that the world makes for him
There’s a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him given out to every maniac
He’s the neighborhood bully
But he got no allies to really speak of
But he gets, he must pay for, he don’t get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he won’t be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well he’s surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now they wouldn’t hurt a fly, to hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He’s the neighborhood bully
Every empire that’s enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
He’s made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no ones command
He’s the neighborhood bully
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He’s the neighborhood bully
What’s anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin’, they say, he just likes to cause war
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
Neighborhood bully
What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers?
Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still, neighborhood bully

It’s just like the Moslems to kill their own and cry crocodile tears while blaming Israel. It happened in Iraq and Afghanistan to the Americans too.
wow I like Bob Dylan a little more seeing he had this much insight at one point
Yes, blame Jews. Better than admitting muslims killed one of their own, because they suspected he was homosexual.
All because Israel’s enemies have dark skin, low intelligence, poor work ethics, and dirty beards.
I saw a photo of him flash by on tv, and wondered if he was gay and killed by his family or other arabs
She has an unfortunate history of always being in the area of alleged Israeli violence where she provides reliable eyewittness accounts.
Although the murder was a ‘honor’ murder by Islam,
Kerry-the-antiSemite IMMEDIATELY blamed Israeli Jews.
Why don't they just call him Trayvon to keep it simple? They've already got the t-shirts.
Killing one “palestinian” is not the way Israel reacts. It’s not their m.o. at all. If and when Israel exacts revenge for the slaughter of the 3 teens, there will be no question about it.
Where are the calls for the Palestinians to use restraint and enter endless negotiations and cede land for peace? It’s always expected for Israel?

Thank-you for posting the words to the song “Neighborhood Bully”.
You got it.
It was that song that made me a fan of his at long last a number years ago.
