Three Jewish settlers have been convicted by a court in Jerusalem of attempted murder after a failed plot to blow up an Arab girls' school in the city.

I wonder if their houses will be demolished?

Note the last paragraph!

So, if it was a Palestinian court, and three Palestinian “bombers” would there have been a conviction or a party?

Of course, that is one of the differences between the PA and israel: in the PA, the more jewish kids you kill, the more respected you are and the higher your position. Far from showing any sort of equivelancy, it shows the great difference between the two.

Indeed, in his haste to say something anti-Israel, I wonder if the person that started this thread thought that through.

Didn't you figure it out, yet, Mike B? For some people, EVERYTHING israel does is bad, so ANY description of its actions is by definition "proof" of its evil, and therefore anti-israeli.

If israel decided tomorrow to make every palestinian a millionaire and declare Arafat a saint, that, too, would be instantly "analyzed" as an "evil conspiracy against the poor palestinians".

Damn jews, make them millionaires will they? Just want to co-opt them with gelt. Typical. And where did that money come from anyway? They should go back where they came from.

This is funny. Instead of addressing the issue, that is that there are anti-palaestinian terrorists as well as there are anti-israeli terrorists and that the anti-palaestinian terrorists are beeing treated quite differently (they get a fair process and go to jail instead of beeing tortured, jailed without a trial, there are no repressions against their families, no demolition of their or their familie's homes etc.), the messenger gets critizized.

Haven't you learned the meaning of "ad hominem"yet?

They sure are; in the PA, anti-israeli terrorists are usually promoted to high positions.

Terrible enough. But that's not the issue, is it?
