This incident, coupled with the one a few months agao when charges were dropped against settlers because the "Palestinians" they attacked were in fact IDF, show that Israel`s justice system is so pervaded with racism that no conviction or finding against non-Jews can be taken seriously and none but the most naive really believe that there is any penalty for Jews attacking innocent Palestinians.

These settlers are nothing but terrorists, attacking innocent people with impunity. Israel should not be heard to whine about "terrorism" until it acts to stop its citizens from attacking innocent Palestinians. If Israel won`t stop such attacks, why should Hamas stop the rockets? These attacks hurt more peopoe than those idiotic, pathetic rockets.

Calling Israel a Western-style democracy is a bad joke. Its government is less democratic and substantial than that of a third world country, with a racist strain not seen elsewhere since the fall of apartheid South Africa.
