It doesn't seem to matter what side of the Wall you're on, nor what citizenship you have. If you are Arab in any area of Israel or Palestine, your blood is worth less in court.
Israeli policemen fired into a crowd of their fellow citizens in October of 2000, killing 13. The event corresponded with the start of the Second Intifada, and Palestinian citizens of Israel were demonstrating in support of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
This week, the Israeli court system has dropped all cases against the policemen involved. No one will be prosecuted for the killings of unarmed Israeli civilians, because they happened to be Arab.

No way!
I can believe the fair and balanced Israeli court system would pervert Justice in this way.
And after their wise and objective decision concerning the legality of dropping cluster bombs on civilians.
I expected more from the only democracy in the ME.
Just un-freaking-believable!
Yep, "insufficient evidence" is a racist code phrase meaning that police can fire on peaceful protesters who were merely throwing stones and petrol bombs at the police.
I mean, for Palestinians and their supporters, that's really peaceful. Those injured and killed by the peaceful protesters really got off easy.
It's all in the article, but Kabobfest considers the protesters' actions irrelevant to whether the use of force was justified. Of course.
Roy, Sober up man. We're not talking about a gay rights rally in Amesterdam.
