1. Yup
Julie ,   Israel   (11.24.11)
Only religious Jewish youth would be prosecuted. Yup........... It is a wonderful country for Druse and Arabs...a wonderful life.
2. Another Liberal Judge!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (11.24.11)
This is unreal: the two confessed! Another, dumb-assed, liberal judge denying justice to the innocent victums' .
3. Where is justice in Israel?
jason white ,   afula, israel   (11.24.11)
You can commit murder and get away with it or be pardoned. Get a ticket for a traffic violation that does not endanger anyone and you get nailed by a judge and fined to the limit. We need a new justice system, new judges, laws, prosecutors and more prisons.
4. Did anyone really believe there was a chance of a conviction
observer   (11.24.11)
And so those 'victims' clammoring for revevenge - oh, sorry: justice - will have to look alsewhere. Maybe they will now try to pin something on the police officer who made the disatrous decision to reverse a bus full of cadets into the oncoming fire, that claimed most of the lives.
5. The firefighting service
The Last Zionist ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.24.11)
The firefighting service needs to be indicted if anyone does. Ignoring small fires creates large ones.
6. So, if the fire started in another place,
(11.25.11)
How DID it start? It would be nice to know what began such a horrible fire in the first place. If it started elsewhere, do they have any idea HOW it happened ro start?
7. Read the story again. This time slowly
Mea   (11.25.11)
The prosecutors made a sound decision. The case fell apart, and a lack of conclusive evidence means justice was served. Or do you talkbackers need a head on a platter. The story says that in spite of the boys willingness to not only confess, but to show the place the fire started the e-v-i-d-e-n-c-e concluded the killer fire started somewhere else--which means that these bys are not guilty of starting it. They started another fire, they admit. Bt they did NOT start the fire that resulted in 44 deaths. Someone else set that fire. So are you so blood thirty you need a token Arab to satisfy your need to apply hate? The prosecutors made a decision based on evidence and the law.
8. it was arson... and with the speed and the intensity
eporue ,   europe   (11.25.11)
the fire broke out at different locations, the guy(s) had a car and maybe other equipment... and if you really dont see, that you have obviously some sickos in israel, who are setting the places continously on fire (golan, carmel, haifa various places, near jerusalem), then one has really no words anymore... check, who set the mosque ablaze, and that sort of guys... who requests the hookah smokers to be convicted for this fire, is at least as disturbed as the (real) fire-lighting sickos....
9. @7, it wasn't just lack of, it was exculpatory evidence
Miron ,   USA   (11.25.11)
besides, arsons continued long after teens had hooka.
