Terrorism & The Legal System
Richard H. Shulman
LEGAL SYSTEM NO MATCH FOR TERRORISM
Both perpetrators of tractor-terrorism had criminal records. One was
for raping a Jewish woman. Now the government of Israel is going to
check its Arab employees for past convictions. The news brief implies
that employers are not allowed to check workers’ backgrounds
(Arutz-7, 7/24).
One theory of Western society is that for positions not ordinarily
involving trust the way, say, being a bank guard does, criminals may
be hired. The idea is that the criminals have paid their debt to
society, and need jobs, to stay out of crime.
Many companies, however, ask applicants whether they have been
convicted. The idea is that released criminals often resume crime.
(Tell that to Israeli prime ministers who release convicted terrorists
by the hundred, often for nothing! Many Muslims become terrorists due
to ideology, which prison rarely reforms.)
If the criminal records don’t include terrorism, should Israeli
employers reject applicants anyway? I suppose the least Israel should
do is deport convicted terrorists (and their supportive and vengeful
families) after their sentences are completed. Better would be to get
all the Arabs out and not have terrorism. Point is, terrorism and
Muslim Arabs should not be treated as if ordinary criminals, this is
ideological war. Don’t give barbarians an advantage.
DEFENSE DEPT. ADMITS ANTI-SEMITIC PERSECUTION
The Defense Dept. had been asked to investigate the harassment of an
Orthodox Jewish employee, David Tenenbaum. He was accused of spying.
The final, official report admits there was no basis for the
accusation, which appears to have been motivated because of his
religion; that is not proper. Antisemitic slurs were leveled against
him by security people. The report did not suggest compensation for
him nor punishment for his oppressors (IMRA, 7/24).
ARAB TURN TO SUSPECT INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT
The ICC prosecutor seeks a warrant for the arrest of Sudan’s
president. Now other Arab leaders, also violators of human rights,
fear they may be next. They call this Western meddling in Arab
affairs IMRA, 7/24).
Suddenly the ICC isn’t just a convenient vehicle for persecuting
Israeli defense officials.
What are “Arab affairs?” Why should non-Arab countries not be
concerned with genocide committed by Arabs? Why special privileges
for Arabs?
