If one sums up all the Masacres and killings done by Israel and associated them with being mentally ill, well then the Israeli population has a serious mental problem.lol

p.s: I thought the Israeli authority said that the attackers were protesting because of their work situation. Hmmm, contradiction anyone?

Hanan,

Thats a relief. In Islam there are three groups of people who are not responsible for their actions: children, the sleeping, and the insane. I believe the one who is intoxicated is exempt as well but if you have been drinking or doping up… tsk, tsk, tsk.

Again,

The attackers ARE mentally ill.

It’s not an excuse, it’s a fact.

It’s sad that the leaders of the Palestinians who protested the attack could not be bothered with the facts.

Here is my quick translation of a Supreme Court of Appeals decision on the appeal of Chaim Chabibi, Violet Chabibi and their children - Odelia, Yehudah and Chen.

Bagatz 5446/01 (The “01″ means it’s from 2001.)

——-

The appeal that was presented to us exposes deep distress of the plaintiffs that feel hurt from the behavior of the establishment to them, from charging them as criminal offenders and specially from separating their children from them.

From the appeal and from the verdicts that were given in different cases regarding the plaintiffs, it is clear that the plaintiffs dedicate their time to the struggle with the establishment and the welfare authorities.

The Jerusalem district court have even decided in a ruling that during this struggle, the plaintiffs violate the law and hurt their children, although their children are very dear to them.

The appeal is full of strong expressions that are not suitable for court documents.

We have ignored the style with the understanding that the plaintiffs believe they have been treated with injustice and we have examined the claims in the appeal.

In light of the refusal of the plaintiffs to cooperate with different welfare bodies, and even the Probation Services, as we have read in documents from other criminal and civil procedures they have been involved in, other courts that dealt with their cases didn’t find ways to help them.

Their very detailed appeal does not raise a question that justifies a hearing in this court. If the plaintiffs want to appeal against their conviction in the Jerusalem district court, they should appeal there.

As for the other claims raised in this appeal, they are also not suitable for an intervention in the Supreme Court of Appeals.

Therefore, the appeal is rejected.
