Recently an Israeli court sentenced a citizen of Palestinian descent to 5 months for spitting on a border guard, the courts appear to be much more lenient when the victim is Palestinian and the attacker is Jewish. Here are a few examples:
NAZARETH, (PIC)-- An Israeli military court sentenced three Israeli servicemen to ten days behind bars as a disciplinary measure for "killing" a Palestinian man in northern Ramallah during a picnic.
The Israeli army radio said late Tuesday that the three soldiers, all from Beit Eil settlement, had fired at the man in Ein Yabroud killing him instantly.
The soldiers claimed that they came under fire and when they returned fire they killed the unarmed youth. The soldiers had gone on their picnic without a permit from their superiors, the radio noted.
In 1988, Wallerstein was sentenced to four months' community service after being convicted of "causing death by negligence" in the shooting of a 16-year-old Palestinian in the West Bank.
A spokeswoman for Wallerstein said he and a bodyguard had chased and opened fire at the youngster and other Palestinian protesters who were throwing stones and burning tyres.
