Mohammad Abu Khdair murder: Israeli ringleader found guilty

19 April 2016 Middle East

The Israeli ringleader in the killing of a Palestinian youth, abducted and burned to death in Jerusalem in 2014, has been convicted of his murder.

A Jerusalem court found 31-year-old Yosef Haim Ben David guilty, rejecting a plea of insanity. He will be sentenced next month.

Two youths have already been jailed for murdering Mohammad Abu Khdair, 16.

He was killed in apparent revenge for the murders of three Israeli teens in the occupied West Bank.

Mohammad Abu Khdair's body was found in a forest in West Jerusalem on 2 July 2014, two days after the bodies of the Israelis abducted and murdered by Hamas militants that June were found.

Where's all the posts from bigots apologizing for accusing Israel of denying justice because the accused were Jews?

Having two different legal systems for civilians is Apartheid.

If an Israeli Jewish terrorist was sentenced in the same kangaroo court that's used for Palestinians I would of course be against that too. Nobody deserves to be judged by a court system that has a 99,7% conviction rate.
