[QUOTE]Israeli leaders have appealed for calm after the discovery of a kidnapped Palestinian teenager's body sparked clashes in East Jerusalem.
Mohammed Abu Khdair, 17, was seen being forced into a car early on Wednesday.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the "despicable murder" and the mayor of Jerusalem urged restraint.
Palestinian leaders said they held Israel responsible for the killing, amid claims it was in revenge for the murder of three Israeli teenagers.
Agence France-Presse quoted the militant group Hamas as telling Israeli leaders: "Our people will not let this crime pass... You will pay the price for these crimes."
The BBC's Yolande Knell in Jerusalem says the Palestinian teenager's funeral is now expected to take place on Thursday and will be another cause for tension.
'Law-abiding state'
Israeli police are still investigating the possible motives for the death.
Mr Netanyahu said he had ordered police to work "as quickly as possible to find out who was behind the heinous murder of the youth" and called on both sides "not to take the law into their own hands".
"Israel is a law-abiding state and everyone is obliged to act according to it," he said.
Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat also denounced the murder, urging all to "exercise restraint".
"This is a horrible and barbaric act which I strongly condemn," he said.
Israeli Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch urged patience as the investigation was carried out.
The US condemned the killing. National Security Adviser Susan Rice said in a series of tweets it was a "heinous murder" and that the "perpetrators must be brought to justice".
Secretary of State John Kerry's statement said "there are no words to convey adequately our condolences to the Palestinian people".
The family of one of the three murdered Israeli teenagers also issued a statement condemning the latest killing.
"If the Arab youth was murdered because of nationalistic motives then this is a horrible and horrendous act," the statement from the family of Naftali Frenkel said.[/QUOTE]

Kudos.

Funny how it's the family thinking that and that's what should matter but it doesn't, instead they use it as an excuse to kill more people.
[QUOTE]I see this as a definite hate crime. Quite possibly from settlers, but it could be from another group.
'There are other reports that Khdeir was killed by his family for being gay in a so-called “honor killing,” but his family has vehemently denied these claims.'

We'll see how this event develops, I won't be surprised by either outcome. I must remind you, and I made this comment on the original thread made by Shreddinger, that militant Israeli settlers are regarded as extremists by the IDF and punished accordingly.
Anyways, I hope the mods lock and shutdown this thread. It's late... but I don't think Starpluck gives a fuck. You and Starpluck seem to be chummy in your bias.[/QUOTE]
Said this in Lamar's copy of the thread. Posting it in the real thread.
people should stop killing other people
