No, freedom fighters.

Three innocent Jewish youths were kidnapped and horribly murdered. Jews are constantly terrorized by rock-throwing thugs, boulders hurled through their windshields and Molotov cocktails thrown at them and into their homes and vehicles. The Israeli government has done nothing. Think of these brave Jewish youth as a neighborhood watch association. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The Arab thugs that consider Jews to be "fair game" need to understand that there are consequences for their actions. If the government does not sponsor those consequences, then the people will. The Arabs need to learn how to behave like normal human beings. Otherwise, there will be consequences, and they won't be pleasant.

We hear (read) the apologists trying to blame Arabs for crimes committed by far right wing Jewish people. You really should have learned your lesson by now. Every time you try this on and are disproven only exacerbates the situation - but then that is what you really want to to, isn't it...

The defense lawyers shouldn't waste their time. They deserve to lose the appeal.
