Just after three slain Jewish teens have been buried, media hungry for escalation of Islamic annihilation war on Jews

Never mind if it should eventually turn out that an (Israeli) Arab gay teenager was sacrificed on the altar of anti-Semitism, “heroically” killing two birds with one stone.

For nearly three weeks, international media outlets found it tough to relate to the abduction and murder of Eyal Yifrah, Gil-Ad Sha’ar and Naftali Fraenkel. To them, the story that seized Jews in Israel and abroad was an insignificant, if unhappy, story that was not worthy of front-page coverage. What a difference a day makes: As of this writing , Britain’s BBC and Guardian websites, and American CNN, USA Today and ABC websites feature the murder of Muhammad Hussein Abu Khdeir this morning, plus extensive footage of the rioting. All mentioned the possibility that  the murder could have been a revenge attack for the triple homicide of the teenage “settlers,” but none mentioned the police’s primary avenue of investigation at the moment: A Palestinian honor killing related to the possibility that the victim was homosexual.

The most important thing being to make pathic projections like “Israel provoziert dritte Intifada” (“Israel provokes third Intifada” – headline of the German “green” tageszeitung on the day of the burial of Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Shaar and Naftali Fraenkel) seem true.
