What a suprise!

Are you ashamed or proud of the Arab "democracies" and their justice systems ?
4. Thats nothing
freejay ,   Israel   (04.19.07)
Every day there is an honour killing in either gazza or west bank. How many of these animals walk free without any investigastion?
5. Stupid judge: "he only ran you over"
Ilan ,   Ariel   (04.19.07)
The judge is a terrible mistake and not the actions of the policeman. Someone should explain to the judge (use a 4x4 ) what it is like to be hit by a car and why it can't be considered a minor provocation.
6. It is not the first time
Normal Israeli   (04.19.07)
I don’t remember when a soldier was sentence to jail for murdering an Arab, 40 years of occupation take its toll on the Israeli “justice”
7. A Reasonable Verdict
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (04.19.07)
Finally, a judgment which sounds just. I award Judge Solberg the first "Reuven Brauner Award for Sanity and Objective Decision-Making by an Israeli Judge." Congratulations, Judge Solberg.
8. standards
Michael ,   Haifa   (04.19.07)
The moral of this story is that had it been a rioting Jewish settler, SHOT IN THE BACK !!!, we would be getting very different talbacks here.
9. EMMMM
ben   (04.19.07)
The shot was NOT close range The shot was during the [olice chase concerning a car theft The FIR confirms he did ran over the police officer. There were warning shots Attacked by rioters the vehicle driven by Dari Two tried to grab the detainee This was a mistake in complecated situation. To grap the detainee- that sound s like a kidnap ! Well the judge should have thrown the case out at the prima face stage...any way the judge is right in full acquitting for Shmuel Yehezkel . The Judge should have left another note : Next TIME DONT EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE ISRAELI POLICE ! GOOD Judgement :)
10. tell me something # 3
papa jay   (04.19.07)
why do israelis compare them selves to arab states and terror groups? your justice system vs. the arab states, IDF actions vs Hezbollah or hamas another on this talk back talks about honor killings in gaza as if to say they are killing each other in gaza so whats one more in east jerusalem. what the hell does honor killings in gaza have to do with this case. what the hell goes through your mind when you compare your democratic state and moral IDF army to that of dictators and terrorists. israelis are always highlighting the point, we killed one; but the arabs killed two. we used human shields but so does huzbulla. we killed many leb civilians in leb and gaza but so does hamas and Hezbollah with thier rockets. oh and by the way, we are the "more" moral side. how do u think this argument makes israel look? interested in your thoughts.
11. Good!
Isabella ,   Israel   (04.19.07)
If Samir Dari was at work in a 9-5 job - it wouldn't have happened. Fact is, he was out stealing cars and trying to knock over our policemen. So, no sympathy from me.
12. Police man
Freedom and Justice ,   America   (04.19.07)
charge should never have been leveled. Once leveled the charge should have been dismissed on the face of the facts. The prosecutor should be fired for prosecuting a policeman doing his duty, The justice system in Israel unne3cessarily bends over backwards to show it is fair to the arabs by unfairly and unjustly putting innocent jews on trial. Such action does not gain respect nor praise from other than dfalse friends. you don't need false freinds and you should not indulge your enemies. Be true to yourself and be strong--the rest will eventually fall into place. One thing is certain, none of the arab jihadists cares about t5he deqad arab or the Israeli justice system. they just want you dead and gone or under their boot. what this affair demonstrates is a slave mentality thats being taught in the Israely schools and universities and is being perpetuatated by the bleeding heart leftist political correct gestapo. Rid yourself of these maEFACTORS And you will breathe free, feel confident, live without fear and sleep well.

when settlers will be bombarding ambulances that came to assist, when settlers will (g-d forbid) start running ppl over with cars, or drag soldiers or wounded civilians out of the broken down vehicals and linching them while proudly displaying bloodied palms-which they just dipped into torn apart bodies --THEN i dont think anybody-including me-a settler myself-will object to u shooting.
15. Policeman did his duty
Josef matamoros ,   Finland   (04.19.07)
There was no reason for charging the policeman fulfilling his duty. He actually saved his colleagues life plus his own. In imminent danger of being run over second time, of course he shoots. I would, too, definitely have shot. Remember: the killed Arab was a car thief in the middle of doing his "job". Justice served, the policeman is free.

Of course you are a non Jewish Israeli ,living and getting the benefits of Israel but in its back vomiting your hate and antisemitism.There are many,unfortunately. But,if you might be a Jewish Israeli(it can happen),you are ridiculous.You should knee on pop corns(not very Jewish)just in repetence and gratitude for being protected by Israeli police. I thank G'od he was acquitted.Their job is very hard,since they have ,all the time ,to keep wild animals away from attacking Israel.

Don't equate a potential rioter with a thief. They are far from wach other, if you didn't know, now you know. To your knowledge: the thief already once run over people. Too difficult to understand written word?

Jewish thieves and murderers, who kill innocents in gangland warfare, settlers who cut down olive trees of other people or just steal the harvest, Jewish drug dealers, white slave traders never seem to get shot in the back..get it into your straightlaced Finnish head that people who are shot in the back do not provide an immediate danger to the shooter at the moment of the shooting...however, if you are asking for vigilante standards of justice for Arabs, it would seem that you are not just a simple straightlaced Finn
19. Trials for Soldiers should be abolished
Israel   (04.19.07)
Our children have to do their mandatory military service and get dragged into doing all sorts of things that ,ordinarily, any other 18 year old would not be faced with having to do.
20. #16 your comments to '6
Rustum ,   London, UK   (04.19.07)
Your comments "of course you a non-Jewish Israeli... vomiting your hate and antisemitism".... wow neddy! The man said he cannot remember when a soldier has been sentenced to jail for murdering an Arab. That makes him an anti-Semite? Your ridiculous conclusion mirrors much of what is wrong with right-wing Israelis and supporters - i.e. inability to distinguish between the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and a book review. It all becomes "hate and antisemism" in your simplistic world. I too remember reading about ten years ago of a soldier fined something like 20 agorot for MISTAKENLY shooting dead a West Bank Palestinian. I remember discussing it with a bank manager in TA, who started her defence with that usual pathetic line "but you've got to remember that..." All in all, your post simply shows that you like to see dead Palestinians and that anyone who EVEN discusses the legal issues is going to be tarred with the label "anti-Semite". Blatant nonsense and you know it well. Not even in the wonderful gun-ridden US is the penalty for car-theft death - so give us a break with all your "anti-semitic hate" nonsense and try and deal with the reality of a court case. Post Script: You really give away your own absurd and primitive opinions by referring to Palestinians as "wild animals".

car theft is not punishable by death. Attacking the police first by running over a policeman and then by trying to snatch a detainee from police custody surely entitles the officers to take some action, even in the US or UK or elsewhere. It even appears that the officer warned Dari that he would be shot if he did not stop. Quite a few officers sustain serious injuries, requiring hospitalization and surgery, when apprehending (car) thieves: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=810452. The officer above was stabbed in the neck which probably resulted in a very severe head injury, as he immedately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground. In subsequent media reports he was still unconscious. In the incident below, a suspected car thief ran over officer Kais Natour and left him with a fractured skull. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/822053.html So what are you suggesting - the police should let car thieves get away with both insult and injury? Steal a car and take out a police officer as well?

Well said. The whole list of usual miserable suspects writing here calling for executions and rejoicing in the death of yet one more Palestinian or Israeli Arab, makes one feel sick. Democracy? Huh. Most of the posters here think that democracy does not apply to "goyyim" and hence the whole list of pathetic psychopathic messages of delight in the death of one more Arab. It makes me feel ill to the stomach.
