is this manslaughter or killing with intent? I don't know if justice will prevail.

It is only a question of time when, in similar cases, the prosecution will exonerate the alleged Jewish murderer on the grounds of "Patriotism"

considering the chilly freezing night in February, that is a corrupt society. Considering that illegal settler boys below 18 years are tried in Juvenile Civilian Courts, unlike the Military Courts for below 16 YO Palestinians, that is really very bad for the health of Jewish society.

be protected by Jewshish laws. I am black Christian who likes Israel but this kind of behaviour can not be tolerated same applies to blacks in South Africa killing whites because they believe they are rich. I hate crime with all my heart including Hamas.

so this guy hated arabs. he slaked his pet prejudice and killed someone as the natural result. sure he probably doesn't see it as wrong or anything unusual in his rationale, but his life is screwed up probably for good. was it worth it? for him, maybe so but who knows? one thing is for sure, he threw away the best years of his short, miserable life. and he'll have plenty of time to reflect on the alternatives. don't hate - it's the ultimate expression of self-hatred.

I assure you this is the exception among Israeli Jews. There is much more of this going on when a Jew walks among majority of fanatical Arabs.

This is a racially motivated hate crime. The attacker hated Arabs and even admitted that he wanted to kill them. He heard the two young men talking Arabic, so he knew that they were Palestinians. If you carry a knife you are prepared to kill, or - as in this case - commit murder. If this guy gets away with simple manslaughter, Israel will solidify its reputation as Apartheid state.

Here we see a tragic story of what happens when Jews are not taught the great lesson of our Torah to love and see the soul in every human being. No matter what happened on those boys' settlements, they still should have maintained their humanity. Killing just to kill, and particularly out of hate is beyond unacceptable. A man lost his life, and so did the boy who will have to live with the heinous act he committed his entire life. From this story we, as Jews, are reminded that we must build love and repect in our children, that transcends the ugliness of living in a country rife with blood-tensions. We must teach them to love, not hate. And if we don't, we will see our future generations swallowed up in a sea of darkness.

Good thing those kids had a razor to defend themselves, otherwise they’d be the ones dead, and as usual the Court of Injustice would be too terrified to do indict these Arabs thugs who started up against Jews.

Two different versions of how the fight started? How expected. Despite that one version is getting better press since it conforms with predisposition of the skin head jew haters. Two groups of losers it sounds to me, but perhaps the prosecution should save their 'evidence' for court.

israeli media is racist

Hope they will be prosecuted in the full extend of the law. Nothing can justify killing for the sake of hatred. We live with Arabs, we have to live in peace with them. We people will understand that we have much more in common that many may think!?

Proportion, that should help. My gosh, the Arabs in Gaza shoot rockets every week into civilian area's intentionally. These are unprovoked and illegal attacks. Nobody says crap, but have some drunken Jewish teens kill an Arab in what amounts to a bar fight and presto, all the anti-Israel writers come out with their Hollow Indignation. Thinking they NOW can prove to the world how evil Israel is with this "Gotcha Moment". The blatant hypocrisy of all this sickens me. Yes what they did was wrong, and they should be punished. But right now nothing has been proved, we have some press reports stating the Mom said this, the boy said that, but no real facts. It seems to me the teens were drunk, they may harbor some ill will towards Arabs, they picked a fight and accidentally killed a man. There was no premeditation whatsoever. It was strictly a chance meeting then ended horribly. So save all the anti-Israel BS. This crap happens everyday here in the all over the world. Drunken bar fights that end with somebody dead are far from unusual.

When a Palestinian sticks a knife into a Jew, or slits her throat (remember the Jerusalem bus stop massacre?) - the Palestinians declare the attacker to be a hero who did it as result of the "occupation". To the Palestinians, killing innocent Israeli civilians is called the "legitimate right to resist the occupation by any means." That's why the Palestinians never arrest their own, or charge them with murder. They do, however, give them cushy police jobs and if they are suicide bombers they print and distribute hero posters to Palestinian kids.

What is difference between Arab racists/terrorists and these Jews? Where is ADL? Why dont we hear Israeli leaders screaming about a need to fight racism? Shame on you, hypocrites...

and do not like Muslims. I dont like their culture, their music, their religion, their way of thinking, their physical aspect, their food, the way they treat women, and children, they violence, their ideology.However I'm not gonna kill anyone... I always try to avoid them.

YNET, why do u censor the truth? Moses are you a black South African? You say that you like Israel, arent you ashamed of yourself? Dont you know that Israel practices apartheid with the Palestinians

Israel shoul show that law is applied evenly on jews and arabs, this terrorist's family house should be demolished immediatly.

As usuall you are twisting the news items here. "This is a racially motivated hate crime." Oh its is, is it ? "If you carry a knife you are prepared to kill...." ever heard of carrying a knife amongst your enemies for protection? A logical person waits for the stabber to have his day in court. You not, as you have already judged & reached your verdict. The stabber is innocent until proven guilty, whether you agree or not.

This is just the point you Apartheid/nationalist apologist - the Jewish racist won't get his day in court because he will not be tried for murder - that has already been taken off the table - try him for the racist hate crime and if there is no proof he will be found innocent - oh wait you know he didn't do it because he's a good Jewish boy who his mother says wants to kill Arabs - it's clear now

arab hostility, blatent disrespect, terrorism, erassment, ignorance and the like. When one is aatacked repeatadly in ones OWN Country and the police, military are taxed with multiple actions going on in multiple place one Must be prepared to DEFEND ones self, Family and property. Basic tenets of servival under deress!!!

settlers very horrible people and fascism is a real devil! and we cant understand (non-jews) who are the Jews actually?

Manslaughter may be voluntary or involutary, depending on whether the accused has the required "mens rea" (guilty mind) for murder. The stabber will not get life imprisonment but he will get prison time. The expected sentance in Israel for manslaughter is 20 years. Btw, I did not say "he didnt do it."

If Moses Mafora is a black South African (and I suspect he is) then it really takes brass cujones on your part to compare what his people suffered under apartheid, to what the Palestinians have inflicted on themselves with their murdering of innocent Israelis...both Jews and non-Jews.

Yes Mr. Alofs, one Jew allegedly kills an Arab and to you it's Murder One. However, Hamas calls for the murder of Jews in their charter and.....silence from Alofs!!! Where is your outrage when Jews are murdered eh? As for Israel being Apartheid, your stupidity is beyond belief. Can a Jew serve in any political position in a Muslim state? NO! Israel has 13 Arab MKs all hostile to the state they are supposed to serve. This could not happen in Apartheid so get your facts straight. Try accusing the Muslim states of Apartheid instead. At least you would then have good basis for the argument.

#18 goes on about how he also hates Arabs - and he details all the reasons why. He sounds just like a German Nazi talking about Jews. Anti-semitism is so bad, but he feels justified in his hatred of all things Arab. Another hypocrit!

Most Mothers stick up for their kids,not incriminate them...there was no need for her to say that he hated arabs... No wonder the kid was out drinking at 2am....mommy didn't care...
