Arabs who proudly admit their participation in a terrorist attack never receive the minimum sentence. I wonder why...

That they go in the front, than few hours later they walk out the back. This is theater.

Just looked up the penalties in my state for the same crime. 10 to 25 years is not death is involved. Two and a half years is a stay in a country club dormitory.. Do they get to take their golf clubs, too?

Maybe because the Arabs show no remorse? Or could it be that an Arab defendant often starts off by denying the israeli court's jurisdiction and interrupt the court's proceedings with political declamations? Either way, they give the court no reason to be lenient.

how judicial system works in Israel. They will serve time just like other criminals. American judicial system however is a joke.

You know you have unequal protection of the law. Let's see prosecution arguing for more lenient sentences when the shoe is on an Arab foot... Ridiculous. Slaps on the wrist for arson and hate crimes invalidates the punitive and deterrent purposes of the entire hate crime category.
