Update: Jewish terror cell sentenced to 12-15 year jail terms
2003-09-30
EFL/FU JPost - Reg Req’d; Difference between the Paleos and the Israelis: The Israeli prison doors lock
Three members of the Bat Ayin Jewish terror cell, who were found guilty earlier this month of attempted murder, were sentenced Tuesday to 12 to 15 years in prison. The Jerusalem District Court sentenced Shlomo Zeliger Dvir and Ofer Gamliel to 15 years, while Yarden Morag, was handed a 12-year term since he cooperated with the police. Earlier in the month, the three members were found guilty of trying to set off a bomb in front of an Arab girls’ school in Jerusalem’s Abu Tor neighborhood.
Psycho killers come in all flavors, don’t they?
According to the indictment against them, Morag and Dvir were arrested outside the girls’ school at 3 a.m. on April 29, 2002. A police squad car found them after they had attached a cart loaded with explosives to an electricity pole outside the school entrance. The bomb was timed to go off at 7:30 a.m, when the area would be crowded with students arriving at school. After questioning, Morag admitted that the locked cart was booby-trapped and explained its mechanism. Police sappers were called to the site and detonated the bomb. Gamliel was arrested four days later and the three were indicted on May 28.
During the trial, the defendants maintained that they had not intended to detonate the bomb, but only to attract media attention and frighten the Arab population, to serve as a deterrent.
Anybody buy that one?... Didn't think so...
But the judges, Yaffa Hecht, Moshe Ravid and Ya’acov Tsaban, unzanimously rejected their claim.
After squirting coffee out their noses...
’The defendants decided to carry out a major attack which would cause heavy losses to the Arab residents of Jerusalem,’ they wrote. ’They planned to do so using a booby-trapped cart which they had prepared and parked on a teeming street in front of the entrance to a girls’ school and the Mokassed Hospital. The defendants worked hard for two months to prepare and assemble the bomb. They held discussions on what it should contain, overcame difficulties in creating the electrical circuit which was assembled after very hard work, went to the trouble of driving through the area to find an ’attractive’ target and determined the right hour in which there would be many passersby.’
If this had happened in the West Bank or Gaza, and they were trying to kill Israeli girls, they’d be celebrated on wall murals, celebrated with candy and ululating, and congratulated by the Arafish

Think people will notice the difference?
