Wipe Out the Jewish Terrorist Nest? Nah, We Can’t Reveal Our Sources

[geek tragedy]

Shin Bet showed with the swift arrest of the murderers of the Henkins that it is not incompetent. The murderers go free because the Israelis want them to go free.

Palestinian Lives Matter (despite what our friends in Israel believe)

The Dawabsheh family took the ineptitude of the Israeli intelligence service to heart. After all, it has failed to locate “price tag” activists who strike at innocent Palestinians in revenge attacks. It has had legal problems putting on trial people responsible for uprooting Palestinian olive trees, puncturing Palestinian tires and torching mosques, not to mention those preaching murder in the name of God or the land.

So the family decided to make the ultimate sacrifice to save Israel and its people from the outlaws. In their naïveté, the Dawabshehs believed that their deaths would not be in vain.

...


As a rule, we’re a country governed by the law, where “suspects without evidence” are subject to detention without trial. But it’s impossible to put some suspects under such administrative detention because they’ll discover we know who they are; they’ll know who our sources are.

None of this was the intention of Sa’ad Dawabsheh, who perhaps only wanted to inform us that Jewish murderers are roaming free. Now we know.

In 10 years, when the only surviving member of the Dawabsheh household, Ahmed, is 14, and maybe even before that, we’ll surely go after him when he has a rock in his hand. We’ll be deeply sorry that those who torched his family’s home didn’t finish the job. We’ll surely know who the perpetrators were.

1. They really need to find and arrest these murderers already

Or at least provide a detailed update as to where things stand with the investigation at this point.

It's been too long.

[geek tragedy]

2. that presumes there is an ongoing investigation.

last word was one month ago when they were saying "gee, we'd like to catch them, but police work is hard."

once the media cycle for this story ended, so did the government's willingness to even pretend to be interested in catching the perps

the settlers are above the law, that's the government's policy and has been for at least a decade.

3. Really wondering about this

Could you help a bit?

Would you please list 10 Jewish Israelis (military or civilian) that in the last 20 years (completed in the last 10 years) have served more than a 10 year sentence (or are currently serving a more than 10 year sentence) for crimes against Palestinians. I saw a list for crimes of more than 20 years ago, but something more modern would be helpful.

This would be nice to have for debate against those that say there is no justice for non-Jewish people in Israel and the OT.

5. Do you think the Israeli authorities are spending the same effort trying to catch the killers

of Palestinians as they do trying to catch the killers of Jews?

I personally don't think so.

4. Israel does't even consider killing Palestinians to be a crime.

The apartheid in the West Bank and Jerusalem is wrong. Everyone should be equal before the law, regardless of the ethnicity of the perpetrator and the victim.
