This is what happens when there is violence toward Palestinians. Yesterday Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the death of an 18 month old Palestinian child was caused by militant settlers. He stated he would do everything possible to find those that acted in violence. It was a relief to hear Israel taking the loss of life in Palestine seriously and was acting to bring justice.
This Palestinian youth is guilty of acting against Israel while the search is continuing. Both Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas need to continue to impress the importance of peace and an emphasis on non-violent justice. This death was unnecessary and the people of Palestine have to believe justice will be brought for the loss of life caused by radical settlers.
The rule of law has to be respected. Conflicts that grow out of such an incidence have to be avoided.
Sorry to hear there have been additional deaths, but, they could have been avoided. They should have been avoided. Retaliatory violence has a long history of driving greater conflict between Israel and Palestine and should never be encouraged or tolerated.

A Palestinian youth died (click here) on Saturday at a West Bank hospital following a clash with Israeli troops near Ramallah, Palestinian hospital officials said.
The confrontation was one of three in a matter of hours in which Palestinians died from Israeli-Palestinian violence on one of the most tense days in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip in recent months.
Israeli soldiers fired at the Palestinian after he threw a fire-bomb at them, the military said.
Earlier on Friday, an 18-month-old Palestinian boy was killed in a house fire in the West Bank village of Duma near Nablus that was set by suspected Jewish assailants. His parents and a sibling are in critical condition in Israeli hospitals, officials said....
The toddler's family is not doing well at this point. The reason the tensions escalate that lead to more deaths is because Palestinians are afraid of dying at the hand of these Israeli extremists. It is difficult to stand by without acting after such heinous attacks are carried out against Palestinians. The Palestinian Authority has a vital role in enforcing peace as a method to justice.

The family of a Palestinian (click here) infant burned to death in a West Bank arson attack continued to cling to life Saturday afternoon as tensions sparked by the murder continued in the West Bank.8-
18 month-old Ali Saad Daobasa was killed Friday morning in an arson attack that has been attributed to extremist Jews and was labeled as "Jewish terror" by Israeli officials. During the incident, his father Sa'ad, mother Reham, and 4-year-old brother Ahmed all suffered serious to critical burn wounds.
According to the Israeli hospitals administering care to the Palestinian family, all three are still facing life threatening wounds. The mother, Reham, is suffering from third-degree burns on 90 percent of her body and is on life support at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer's intensive care unit....
An agreement between Palestine and Israel would result in an understanding there are fixed borders that cannot be dissolved by violence and radical ideas on either side of an border. Israel and Palestine should be placing peace talks and a final resolution high on their list to dissolve hate and intolerance. I believe lack of a vital agreement fuels this type of violence.
There is no one that is going to tolerate this level of violence against Palestinians. I am sure those words are meaningless as Palestinians grow more fearful with each such violent episode.
