Israeli jailed for role in terror group that attacked Arab schools

I got pretty angry when I read this. But what else would you except from a court in an Apartheid state? Israeli courts have been sentencing Palestinians to life imprisonment for every person the court claims they very guilty of killing. Marwan Barghouti was sentenced for 5 terms of life imprisonment; a little fish of Islamic Jihad - if I remember correctly - got this autumn 35 life sentences. But when a member of the Master Race kills, he gots a single year, one(1) year of every person HE has killed - and walks free after serving half of his sentence. Jewish justice, it seems, is still medieval.

When just peace comes, all persons convicted in either Israeli or Palestinian courts (or in other countries) for their actions during the occupation should be - whatever their nationalities, ethnic backgrounds and religious persuasions - released and a special court á la former Yugoslavia, Ruanda and Western Africa should be formed, which would then convict those that are truly guilty on BOTH SIDES. It would take a long time, but this occupation has been going for a long time too. And the victims deserve justice, as do the accused, not this kind of mockery of justice.
