Wait, there is a big difference. This perp did not kill the victim. If he would have been an innocent Arab, the sentence should be exactly the same. Both Jewish and Arab innocent victims are equal in the court of law. The other difference when people are referring to 18 months, yes the shooter was a solder but yes the "victim" was a terrorist. If the soldier would have shot an innocent Arab or Jew, they prosecution should be to the full extent of the law. In that particular case it was a terrorist during an attack no matter how wrong the shooting may have been.
