Arab who blinded Jew will not sit one day in prison
Arutz Sheva ^ | 27/2/17 | Reut Hadar

An Arab who fired a slingshot at Jews marching in Jerusalem's Old City and caused blindness in the eye of one of his victims will not sit a single day in prison, according to the verdict of Judge Avital Molad of the Juvenile Magistrates Court in Jerusalem.

The incident took place five years ago....the Arabs had returned to the same place and began shooting marbles at the Jews with slingshots. One of the boys was hit by a marble in his eye, was sent to Hadassah Medical Center where he stayed for a few days and underwent surgery, almost completely losing vision in one eye.

The boy turned to the civil aid society Honenu, where they helped him to realize his rights as a crime victim - and was further recognized as a "victim of hostilities", allowing him a disability pension and for the state to pay the heavy medical bills the family has had to deal with.

Honenu even followed the trial of the 13-year-old Arab attacker who was arrested and indicted for aggravated assault while using "cold" weapons, as well as for the attempted wounding of the other boys. Despite the serious incident the attacker was released, and later got entangled in other incidents including rioting and assaulting a police officer.

Two weeks ago, Atty. Menashe Yaddo of Honenu's Civil Department handling the case, was updated that the attacker, who is now 18 years old, will be sentenced to a mere six months of community service.

There's a scene in Norman Jorgensen's The Last Vikings that illustrated how to avenge a lost eye in the absence of a legal recourse.

Basically. The brothers of the gougee got together at a party, started a fight with nobody in particular, but a member of a different ethnic group, and when it turned into a riot, the brothers zeroed in on the gouger and paid him back in kind, then got into their boat and sailed off before anyone was the wiser, riot still going on full blast, and then stayed away for a year or so.

I wonder what would happen to the Jew if he were to take his revenge on the Arab?

They’d throw away the key and make sure he never saw the light of day, of course.

It wasn’t about cod fishing near the North Pole, was it? That was Jorgensen’s setting.
