Hitch hiking isn't a cultural norm where I come from. I understand in Israel it is.

I can't imagine I would ever be happy if I knew my kids were hitch hiking. But to even mention it in the same breath as kidnapping, well...

Tonight was the biggest crowd (to say Tehillim for the boys) I've ever seen in my shul. G-d willing our tefillos will storm the gates of shemayim and show Hashem we merit to see these boys returned safely to their mommies and tatis.

This news story is very surprising!

What is going on there is Israel? How could parents let their children hitch-hike right where other teens were kidnapped?

It's Israel. Kidnapping is exceptionally rare. The Gilad Shalit prisoner swap last year showed that one Jew is literally worth a thousand Hamas terrorists. If they kill these three boys, then the response should be the execution of 3,000 Hamas prisoners. If they refuse to free them, then Israel should round up 3,000 Hamas operatives for imprisonment. I assure you the members of Hamas understand the concept of "an eye for an eye."

Yeah, but after the three teens were kidnapped aren't you surprised the parents are still letting their children hitch-hike in that area?

Even though your plan that sounds like a step towards a "final solution", I am in no place to criticize it because that is pretty much how 'my people' dealt with the Native Americans. It may sound brutal, but as Leo Durocher said, "Nice guys finish last."
