Israeli revenge for killings/

While everyone is appalled at the abduction and murder of 3 young Israeli boys hitchhiking from Hebron in the Illegally occupied West Bank, we are also equally appalled at the abduction and burning alive of the young Palestinian boy a couple of days later. It was interesting to note that immediately after the Israeli boys bodies were found, The Israeli Prime Minister immediately blamed Hamas and ordered the Israeli Armed Forces to launch air strikes against Gaza, hundreds of miles away to the west, and to take action in the Illegally occupied East Jerusalem which has resulted in the deaths of 6 young Palestinian boys so far. When the Palestinian boys body was found burnt in a forest, he simply said that the Israeli police were investigating and would determine IF it was a revenge killing. This seems a double standard to me. Lets wait and see if the Israeli police are actually going to investigate and arrest an Israeli Jewish citizen if it is found that they were responsible for the Palestinian boys brutal murder. If so, will their home be blown up with all their possessions also? I seriously doubt it. The Israeli military seems to be copying the action of the Nazi's in the Second World War with their retaliations against Palestinian homes. We have seen that they have blown up the homes of 2 people who they SUSPECT were involved in the Israeli boys deaths. No evidence, just a suspicion and that is sufficient to destroy the homes of 2 Palestinian families along with all their possessions. No evidence, no trial, just a suspicion and that is enough. It seems that they are following the Nazi regime to the letter. The Nazi's did exactly the same in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War when they totally destroyed the villages of Lidice and Lezaky in revenge for the assassination of Reinhardt Heydrich, Reichprotector of Czechoslovakia. The actual villages had no connection with the assassination which was planned by the British, but this didn't stop the Nazis from murdering all the boys and men in the villages and sending the women to concentration camps. It will be interesting to see how may innocent Palestinians are killed and lives destroyed before this saga comes to a close.
