Jewish and Palestinian Fathers Who Lost Sons Call For Peace
“The family of Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old Jewish boy who was one of three kidnapped and murdered, said in a statement after the apparent revenge killing of a Palestinian boy: ‘There is no difference between Arab blood and Jewish blood. Murder is murder.’
Likewise, the father of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, the Palestinian boy, said: ‘I am against kidnapping and killing. Whether Jew or Arab, who would accept that his son or daughter would be kidnapped and killed? I call on both sides to stop the bloodshed.’
Thus those who lost the most, who have the greatest reason for revenge, offer the greatest wisdom.”
