The prosecution has announced that it is dropping the indictment against Ze'ev Braude, the West Bank settler who was alleged to have shot two Palestinians at close range during the evacuation of a disputed house in Hebron in December 2008, and was caught on film doing so. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1091253.html "As usual, a Jew harming an Arab/Palestinian is not a crime under Israeli law. And you wonder why the Palestinians want their own State??? Clearly they would never receive equal rights under the Israeli justice system." "Israel`s prosecutors just yesterday said that the "rule of law" required them to indict the Arabs who killed a Jewish terrorist as he unloaded his IDF-supplied, U.S. donated M-16 on a busload of Arabs, killing four. Now the rule of law is that a Jew can shoot an Arab anyime he wants." "I am Jewish and deeply ashamed. There is no future for Israel and it is too bad." "surprise, surprise. Doesn`t that just shows that the palestinians have no protection, legal or otherwise and that they have every right to take the law into their hand. What would you call settlers action this time? Isn`t that the starkest form of terrorism? And the fact that it is covered by the state, as we see, doen`t that put it in the catagory of the worst form of terrorism? Where are the so called Israeli liberals?" "This incident, coupled with the one a few months agao when charges were dropped against settlers because the "Palestinians" they attacked were in fact IDF, show that Israel`s justice system is so pervaded with racism that no conviction or finding against non-Jews can be taken seriously and none but the most naive really believe that there is any penalty for Jews attacking innocent Palestinians. These settlers are nothing but terrorists, attacking innocent people with impunity. Israel should not be heard to whine about "terrorism" until it acts to stop its citizens from attacking innocent Palestinians. If Israel won`t stop such attacks, why should Hamas stop the rockets? These attacks hurt more peopoe than those idiotic, pathetic rockets. Calling Israel a Western-style democracy is a bad joke. Its government is less democratic and substantial than that of a third world country, with a racist strain not seen elsewhere since the fall of apartheid South Africa."
Now, we must all agree that Arab governments will do nothing about it. The world watches silently without lifting a finger at the racist policies of israel. We need some creativity if we want to end this racism. We know that according to the racist israeli laws, a Jewish person anywhere in the world is guaranteed citizenship in israel. So, lets organize mass conversions to Judaism. It would be good to see 10-15 million people converting to Judaism and migrating to israel. I'd volunteer first. Once there, we kick the asses of those racists... Its a good plan...
This is really dreadful and just incredibly sad. I honestly can't see the conflicts in the region being sorted out - ever!
