1. More should loose the license
david ,   tel aviv   (02.23.14)
We should not wait for accidents, the police should act before and revoke the license of all the crazy bus & service taxi drivers in Israel, which are far too many. They keep on driving like this because nobody cares...
2. the sentence kinda seems light to me
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (02.23.14)
On one hand it wasn't intentional, but on the other 24 people were killed.
3. WHY ARE SO FEW RECKLESS ISRAELI ROAD JOCKS PUNISHED ?
stude ham   (02.23.14)
the vast majority of road casualties in Israel are due solely to reckless drivers.
4. Take it the Russians
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (02.23.14)
were not Jews then. 6 years is a paltry derisory sentence showing an utter contempt for non jewish life
5. To: No. 4

Amazing. First, you make an assumption that is based purely on conjecture, and then you draw a conclusion using your supposition as proof. No one really cares about the size of your gun, sluggo, but I can tell you that you have a teeny, tiny brain.
6. To: Jacob at No. 2

I agree that it is light, but it does comport with the Israeli courts' sentencing history in vehicular manslaughter cases. It's more than what a U.S. driver would get, that's for sure. In New York State, with no priors, the driver would be looking at three years, tops, eighteen months with good behavior.
