http://www.btselem.org/ 21.1.01: Palestinian Life Continues to be Cheap B'Tselem protests the Jerusalem District Court's decision today to sentence Nachum Korman, convicted of manslaughter in the death of 12-year old Hilmi Shusha, to the ridiculous sentence of six months community service and compensation of NIS 70,000. At a time when violence by Israeli civilians against Palestinians is increasing, the Court's decision sends the message that Palestinian life is cheap, and that Israeli civilians in the Occupied Territories can continue to abuse Palestinians with impunity. The Court's decision to accept the plea bargain is a direct continuation of the policy of all Israeli law enforcement agencies - from the police and the IDF, to the State's Attorney's Office and the Courts, and including the Presidency. Throughout the years, all these institutions have turned a blind eye to cases where Israelis injure innocent Palestinians, and have even supported them. This policy stands in blatant contradiction to the authorities' treatment of cases where Palestinians injure Israelis. In the latter cases, the justice system is suddenly highly efficient and employs all means at its disposal, including measures that violate human rights. From the testimony of Ibrahim Shusha, cousin of Hilmi and an eye witness to the incident: "... the settler went, looked toward the house and saw that no one was there, came back and grabbed Hilmi and immediately kicked him in the head. The settler was wearing army boots. Hilmi, my cousin, stood 3 meters from me... After the kick, Hilmi fell to the ground and lost consciousness. The settler kicked Hilmi in the neck and hit him once on the head with the butt of his pistol." This incident is one of dozens in which Israeli civilians killed Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. B'Tselem conducts a comparative study of all these cases, which paints a disturbing picture: many cases are never even investigated by the Police; others that are investigated, the State's Attorney's Office decides not to file indictments; the few cases that do reach the courts end in acquittal or in light sentences. In those isolated incidents where a serious sentence is imposed, the President commuted the sentence. |

btw: you may even be right, this guy should go to jail for a while if he
murdered someone. So how do you justify releasing all of the Palie terrorist murderers like Hamas wants??

Tomorrow, 13 February, at 8:30 A.M., human rights supporters will hold a demonstration at the Jerusalem District Court in protest against the sentence imposed on Nahum Korman. Nahum Korman killed Hilmi Shusha, a twelve-year-old Palestinian, by kicking him in the head. District Court judge Ruth Orr found him innocent, despite eyewitness testimony and the results of the autopsy performed by Prof. Hiss at Israel's forensic medicine center, in Abu-Kabir. The Supreme Court reversed the lower court decision, convicted Korman of manslaughter, and returned the case to the District Court for sentencing. The State Attorney's Office surprisingly agreed to a plea bargain in which Korman would be sentenced to six months community service, fifteen months' probation, and payment of NIS 70,000 compensation to the victim's family. Judge Orr's decision to accept this outrageous plea bargain continues Israeli law enforcement policy, which extends from the police and army to the State Attorney's office and courts and the President's office. For many years, these authorities have ignored cases where Israeli have injured innocent Palestinians, and have even justified the perpetrators.

In these cases, the system suddenly operates forcefully and efficiently and employs all available means, including flagrant human rights violations. Tomorrow, Tuesday, at 8:30 A.M., the District Court will convene a hearing on the community service imposed on Korman. At that time, members and supporters of the above-mentioned human rights organizations will demonstrate, in protest of the sentence, opposite the Jerusalem District Court building, located on Salah-a-Din Street.

They did not target civilians. Big difference. Civilians were killed, and
that is tragic, but they did not target civilians. Even the arabs never made that accusation. But read below about your muslim friends: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism." --- Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. > Muslim accomplishments > > > 1970: Murder of American University of Beirut President, Malcolm Kerr, > in Beirut, Lebanon. > > September 1970: TWA #741 and Pan Am #93 hijacked by the PFLP and flown > to Amman, Jordan. > > 1972 Eight Arab commandos of Palestinian group Black September kill 11 > Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games. > > March 1973: U.S. Ambassador Cleo Noel & DCM George Moore murdered in > Khartoum, Sudan. > > June 1976: U.S. Ambassador, Francis Meloy and two other Americans > killed in Lebanon. > > 1979-1980: U.S. Embassy in Iran seized, embassy officials held hostage > for 14 months. > > April 1983: U.S. Embassy in Beirut attacked by Hezbollah suicide > bomber; 49 killed, 120 wounded. > > 1983 A truck bomb explodes in US Marines' barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, > killing 241 soldiers.
