Ya’alon… ‘Not enough evidence’ to put Duma firebombing terrorists on trial

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Tuesday there was still not enough evidence to try the Jewish extremists who firebombed a Palestinian home in July, murdering a toddler and both his parents.

ed note–as much as Israel maintains a fanatical penchant towards her system of total surveillance of all persons, i.e. what they think, say, do, etc, it is somewhere between highly unlikely and impossible that there is not enough ‘evidence’ to try these Judaic terrorists in a court of law.

Besides the obvious, which is that this deliberate incineration of the Dawabshe family underscores the inherent mental illness that pervades much of the ‘Jewish state’ today, the other likely reason for the delay in the trial is that in the course of the proceedings it is somewhere between very possible and probable that there are embarrassing (or even incriminating) pieces of information that would get dragged into the limelight involving the Israeli government itself, possibly going all the way to the very top.

And then of course, there is that other factor to consider as well, which is the fact that the ‘Jewish state’, being governed after all by the Jewish religion, does not consider the deliberate murder of Gentiles to be a crime per se, given that Gentiles are not considered human, but rather, according to various passages in both the Torah and Talmud and supported by various rabbinical statements as of late, Gentiles are animals in human form created to serve the Jews.

Times of Israel

Israel has come under heavy pressure to try those responsible for the deadly arson, with rights groups questioning the delay in the case and contrasting it to the swift reaction often following Palestinian terror attacks.

Ya’alon told Army Radio that Israel was determined to bring those responsible to trial, adding that he considered the arson “a Jewish terrorist act.”

But he also said evidence was still lacking nearly five months after the July 31 firebombing in the West Bank village of Duma despite the recent arrests of suspects in the case.

“We know who is responsible for this terrorist act, but do not have enough proof yet to try them,” he said.

On December 3, Israeli authorities said they had arrested a number of alleged Jewish extremists over the firebombing. They have not yet been publicly identified and there has been no indication they have been charged.

Israel’s high court on Sunday continued to deny lawyers’ access to three suspects, local media reported.

The Shin Bet domestic security agency can request a denial of access by lawyers for up to 21 days.

Eighteen-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsha and his parents were massacred in the firebombing. The couple’s then-four-year-old son was the sole survivor from the immediate family.

A Star of David and the words “revenge” and “long live the Messiah” were spray-painted on a wall near the family’s small house.

The attack drew renewed attention to Jewish extremism and accusations Israel had not done enough to prevent such violence.

Young men from wildcat settlement outposts in the West Bank and known as the “hilltop youth” have been blamed for violence and vandalism targeting Palestinians, Christian holy sites and Israeli military property.

Palestinians have often highlighted the attack and lack of progress in the case as among the causes of a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks targeting Israelis that has swept Israel over the past three months.
