3 settlers convicted for attempted bombing of Arab school
By Moshe Reinfeld, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service
Three residents of the West Bank settlement of Bat Ayin were convicted Wednesday for their roles in the attempted bombing of a Palestinian girls' school in East Jerusalem some 17 months ago, Israel Radio reported.
Shlomo Dvir, Yarden Morag and Ofer Gamliel were all found guilty of attempted murder and illegal possession of arms by Jerusalem District Court, the report said.
The three were said to have parked a explosives-laden trailer outside the main
entrance to the school in the A-Tur neighborhood at 3:30 A.M. on April 29, 2002, and set the timer for 7:25 A.M., just as students would be arriving.
A police unit which happened to be in the area spotted the suspects. Police sappers were called in to defuse the bomb.
The device contained two 250-gram bricks of explosives, a clock, battery, detonator and fuse.
Jewish terrorists: Do hard time.
Palestinian Terrorists: Get praised as heros.
What really ticks me off is that scumbuckets like this give a superficial plausibilty to the moral equivalence cr*p we see coming from the Left (if you very carefully ignore the ratio of occurances and how they're dealt with).
Since there are less than 2 million in the West Bank, that would require that they all get on the kill-em-all band wagon, including these kids. So why should Arafat complain since he wants these kids to get themselves killed anyway?
Over 80% of PLO citizens support the destruction of Israel.
