On the heels of the discovery of the body of 16-year-old Muhammad Hussein Abu Khdeir in the Jerusalem Forest — whose killing, some have alleged, came in retribution for the killing of the three Israeli teens — Naftali Fraenkel’s uncle Yishai says that if Khdeir’s murder was indeed a “price tag” attack, it is “heinous and shocking.”

“There is no difference between blood and blood,” says Fraenkel. “A murderer is a murderer, no matter his nationality and age. There is no justification, no forgiveness and no atonement for any murder.”

“If an Arab youth was indeed murdered for nationalistic reasons, this is a heinous and shocking act,” he says.
