more than just killing innocent girl, he basically cause irreversible damage to the relation between the jewish and the bedouin population.

Even young idiots are capable of doing deadly acts when encouraged by their schools and mosques. The PA 'education' system drowns their students in Jew-hating, Israel-demonizing filth, yet the PA supporting countries say nothing about it. This 'junior' terrorist deserves the full force of the law against him. This girl's LIFE was brutally taken from her and her family. The terrorist should have gotten 25-years-to-life. This is the kind of brainwashed loser that will kill again as soon as he's released. Don't let that happen.

Man runs over girl, gets 9 years in prison. Man shoots innocent girl, discharges an entire magazine of bullets into her body, gets away free. Why was captain R not sentenced to anything for murdering the innocent Im al-Hams, but Shibli sentenced as a terrorist?

the world would have erupted into fury and the name of the child would be immortalized. This would be decried as a horrific crime against humanity.

You leftists mae me sick how you always deflect the blame when your admried Arab friends kill arab children, You leftists and your Obama will pay dearly one day.

Why didn't the State Prosecutor's Office charge him with culpable homicide or negligent homicide? As usual lazy and incompetent prosecutors! Once again.the Judges have failed the people of Israel and, more importantly, they have failed the little girl, Tal Zino. Every Judge in the State of Israel, from the Chief Justice down to the lowest ranking Magistrate, should hold their heads in shame!

@2 He's an Israeli citizen and not educated by the PA education system you dolt. Get your facts straight. It was a criminal act and not a terrorist one. Turning every criminal act by an Arab into a political one is the fastest way to start an Israeli-Arab rebellion. @3 Your point is irrelevant. What you described was an incident in occupied territory where the writ of Israeli civil law does not apply. However, I agree. If it had been a young Jewish man who had run over and killed that poor girl its doubtful he would have even gone to prison let alone received such a harsh sentencing that is being appealed to be even harsher. It's like the Deep South where sentencing a black to prison theft wasn't enough and capital punishment was sought.

I am in no way condoning the killing. Killing an innocent little girl is wrong in every way. However, I am pointing out the discrepancy in how the Israeli judicial system treats killings of innocent girls. Are you excusing this discrepancy? Denying it?

Anyone who has ever spent Yom Kippur in Israel knows just how quiet it is, particularly in small towns. Why on earth would Arabs come into a Jewish town on a noisy ATV if not to disrupt the community, or with malice aforethought with a clear intent to injure, even kill, a Jew? I will guarantee you there was no other traffic in the roads of this small Jewish town. The sentence imposed on this callous and deliberate murderer works out to one year in prison for each year that Tal Zino, z.l., had on this earth. That is not enough.

of discrimination, of racism. Two Jews having done the very same deed would have received a much harsher punishment. But they are lucky, living as Arabs in the Jewish state.

Are you kidding? Just recently an Israeli judge pointed out the institutional bias AGAINST Israeli Arabs, as did the Or commission.

Because the Arab terrorist that was hiding behind her was busy firing his weapon at Captain R. I know that you would rather Captain R have forsaken his life rather than fire at the terrorist trying to kill him and his men, but it doesn't work that way. Your quarrel is with the despicable Palestinian terrorist practice of hiding behind innocents. They know that they can count on fools like you to see only the terrorists' favorite photo op -- a dead Palestinian child -- without asking how that child came to be there, and how that child came to die. Disgusting practice, indeed, but it's the practice of choice of the people (I use the term advisedly) whose cause you champion -- terrorist scum. What else can one expect from people who send children to be suicide bombers? More importantly, why don't you see the facts for what they are? Have you so much as a clue as to how many children have been deliberately targeted and murdered by Palestinian terrorists over the years? Have you? I don't think you do. Therefore nothing you say carries any weight at all. Your bias is so clear, I do not think you are capable of accepting facts that do not conform to your mindset. That makes you irrelevant.

quote"Thirteen-year old Iman al-Hams was shot seventeen times by the IDF as she was walking home after class in Gaza. An Israeli captain went up to her corpse and shot her again in the head – "dead-checking" the schoolgirl. The IDF prosecuted him, but not for murder. He was charged with "illegal use of his weapon," and - despite admitting that he emptied his entire magazine into a little girl - he was found "not guilty." You do not accept facts, Sarah B. You are irrelevant.
