Israeli Family Slaughtered by Palestinians

Perhaps someone could answer this question: is Hebrew on Hebrew homicide unheard of or is it a given that it had to be a Palestinian? Could it be someone trying to derail the peace process that is neither?

That still doesn't answer my initial question.

I googled "crime in Israel"

"MurderIn Israel the number of homicide rate produced by criminal activities is relatively low: 2.4 killed per 100,000 inhabitants in a year (in Switzerland the number is 0.71, in Russia is 14.9, in South Africa is 34, in Venezuela is 49).[11] In 2009, 135 people were murdered in Israel. Two major motivations for homicide in Israel are violence against women (including honour killings) and politically motivated violence ie Arab terrorism against Jewish Israelis."

I don't think you understand what I'm asking.

A family was brutally murdered in Israel, with no suspects initially. But the title of the post is: "Israeli Family Slaughtered by Palestinians."

My question was, how did they know immediately that it was the work of Palestinians? That was my question. I understand it's a great likelihood, I just wondered how they immediately knew, based on the original article posted?

I don't believe there's a death penalty in Israel, but these suspects, if proven guilty, are very deserving.

Since I am tired of arguing with you because you think you are smarter than everybody else, I am going to explain something to you. Hebrew is the language, not the people. They are Jews, or Israelis, of the Jewish faith.

It is difficult for a language to harm itself, if you get my drift.

Nowhere did I EVER say I thought I was smarter than everybody else. Correcting your mistakes and fallacies with easily obtainable information on Internet does not make me smarter.

My post above yours said nothing about "Hebrew," although my original one did. "Hebrew on Hebrew" is no different to me than characterizing it as "Christian on Christian." Only Jewish people speak Hebrew as a first language. But, if you don't want to answer the questions in my post above your reply, just say so -- don't change the subject in order not to answer. Just change Hebrew to Jew if that's what you want.

According to Wikipedia, "Hebrews is an ethnonym used in the Hebrew Bible. It is mostly taken as synonymous with Israelites, especially in the pre-monarchic period when they were still nomadic, but in some instances it may also be used in a wider sense, referring to the groups known to the Egyptians as Habiru or Shasu during the Egyptian Empire on the eve of the Bronze Age collapse.

"By the Roman era, Greek Hebraios could refer to the Jews in general, but more specifically to the Jews living in Judea. In Early Christianity, the Greek term refers to Jewish Christians, as opposed to the gentile Christians (Acts 6:1)."

There are many, many instances where the term "Hebrew people" is used.

"The defendants, 17-yearold Hakim Awad and 18-yearold Amjad Awad, who are from the same clan, have confessed to stabbing and shooting two young brothers, their parents, and a three-month-old baby in the attack.

"I don't regret what I did, and would do it again," Amjad Awad told reporters in court. "I'm proud of what I did and I'll accept any punishment I get, even death, because I did it all for Palestine," he added."
