Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Israeli Palestinians Charged for Defending Themselves from Jewish Terrorist Those of you who’ve visited courthouses or seen them pictured in movies will remember the statue of Justice blind-folded while holding two balanced scales. Israel has put a new spin on this statue. In Israel Justice may be blind-folded but she is somehow able to peek out from behind the blindfold to determine whether the detainees before her are Jewish or Palestinian. protest against Israeli Jewish terror attack That’s justice Israel-style. Israeli police charged seven of the Palestinian victims of the 2005 terror attack by Israeli serial-murderer, Eden Natan Zada. In that bus attack, Natan Zada set out to kill as many Palestinians as possible with his IDF-issued rifle. He succeeded in murdering four and wounding twenty-three more. The bloodshed ended only when the survivor-victims overpowered him and killed him in self-defense. Defending oneself from a Jewish terrorist is apparently a serious criminal offense in Israel. Doing the same when confronting and killing a Palestinian terrorist will get you the keys to the city and a hero’s welcome. An Israeli court sentenced the survivors of the attack to up to two years in prison: A Haifa district court judge said on Thursday that despite the soldier’s actions, Israel could not tolerate vigilante justice, or an “eye-for-an-eye” defence. A funny thing about this statement: Israeli Jews routinely engage in vigilante justice when they face Palestinian terrorists. At times they have murdered unarmed terrorists or wounded terrorists. At times, they’ve killed terrorists in the midst of an attack. But it’s extremely hard to distinguish between vigilante justice when it’s meted out by Palestinians or Jews. Unless of course you’re an Israeli Jewish judge punishing Palestinians for defending their lives. I know there will be some of the hasbara crowd who will claim that I’m defending the Palestinian murder of Jews. Not at all. I believe anyone, whether Palestinian or Israeli, who murders in cold blood should be arrested, tried, convicted and imprisoned. But that also includes Jews who murder Palestinians who’ve engaged in an act of terror. Sorry to abuse that old saying: “what’s good for the goose…” But it’s true. In order to mete out justice equitably and fairly no one should get a pass for murder, no matter what the circumstances. So I’d have no problem with prosecuting the Israeli Palestinians who killed Natan Zada if those who murdered Palestinian terrorists would also be held accountable. Here are a few examples of such cases: Merkaz HaRav incident The Bus 300 attack, in which the Shin Bet ordered the execution of two disarmed, bound terrorists The Jerusalem bulldozer terror attack Yoram Shkolnik’s 1993 murder of a bound and disarmed Palestinian assailant (unlike most of these cases Shkolnick was sentenced to prison, but given early release) Execution of wounded Ziad Jilani after minor traffic accident mistakenly construed as terror attack Anyone in their right mind knows that no Israeli who kills a Palestinian terrorist will ever be charged with a crime. Thus no Palestinian facing the same situation should be either. Here is Israeli blogger, Yoav Haifawi’s view of the court deliberations in the Zada case: Confronted by this serious crime, the police and courts worked tirelessly – not to expose Zada’s accomplices or prevent the next massacre but to…ensure that whoever…carr[ies out] another massacre against…Arabs could be assured to emerge unscathed. On Thursday, November 28, 2013, the panel of three judges convened for the last time – to finally send to jail those accused of assaulting Zada. If you justify the murder of terrorists then you must justify the murder of Natan Zada. There should be no charges brought against these victims for essentially defending their fellow bus riders from a serial killer on a politically-motivated killing spree. Which means that the Israeli justice system is beyond hypocritical and maintains two separate standards of judgment for killers of Jewish and Palestinian terrorists. If you want to maintain Israel is a democracy and that all citizens are treated equally, you simply can’t. These victims of Israeli justice may appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
