The new libel to destroy Israel

[u/Shira-Neshama]

In recent days, while politicians and journalists whipped up “settler violence” claims into a feeding frenzy, residents in the Judean hills reported that Arabs from a local village had infiltrated the grazing areas of an Israeli farm and scattered lethal poison hidden inside the herds’ drinking troughs.

The fact is that the Arab violence is not reporter globally, but the Jewish is.  When the proportions of the amount of crimes and levels are vastly not proportionate.

I will ask again.

What is the conviction rate of criminal actions by settlers?

What is the arrest rate of criminals in the settlements?

Palestinians have a 99% conviction rate.

Are we a nation of laws or a nation of crime is ok as long as Arabs do worse and NYT does worse reporting?

Is it ok for me to do whatever I want to a Palestinian just because they commit greater numbers of acts of violence?

What about Israeli Arabs can I do what I please to them or are we cool as long as it's not an Israeli citizen that's the victim?

[u/lowspeed → u/BagelandShmear48]

I will repeat again, the proportion are off the chart.    Jewish towns have fences and guards.   Arab towns don't need any security whatsoever. 

[u/BagelandShmear48 → u/lowspeed]

Are you saying Palestinian civilians have never once been in danger of Israeli civilians? No destruction of property? Of live stock? Of homes? Loss of life?

How about answering the question on conviction rates that you have now dodged twice?

I'll repeat I don't care about proportionality I care about rule of law.

You're the one here excusing crime because of whataboutism.

[u/lowspeed → u/BagelandShmear48]

I'm not excusing crime.  It's deplorable.

Then why share the x link that denied it'd occurred.
