I just wish that the Arab communities, both in Canada and Palestine, would have expressed similar public outrage at the initial kidnapping and murder of the three Israeli teens.

Well said and I do know of some people on the other side that did express shame and disgust over what took place. However, that outrage as far as I know is certainly not the norm. I don't doubt for a second the negative and dangerous influence Hamas has in Gaza. The Palestinian textbooks also do not help, which I think could be the key to peace.
