imra.org.il Almagor slams justice system for light sentences for firebomb throwers Almagor – The Terrorist Victims Association Saturday, December 27, 2014 Terrorists who throw Molotov cocktails receive encouragement from the Israeli court system that views such acts sympathetically. The punishment for such acts are never more than a year in prison. In light of the recent terrorist attack on Thursday evening, Almagor – The Terrorist Victims Association, condemns the Israeli justice system and prosecution that consider the throwing of Molotov cocktails to be a joke and the courtroom a safe haven for such terrorist acts. “The Israel justice system encourages these terrorists by viewing their acts with sympathy and forgiveness especially if the perpetrators are minors or teens!” says Meir Indor, the Chairman of Almagor. “They are sentenced to terms of a half a year to a year in prison – punishments that have no proportion to the seriousness of the crime of attempted murder as was evident from the recent incident. There is an urgent need to increase the severity of these crimes in the eyes of the law that must include legislation that will not allow the prosecution or the judges leeway of mercy when dealing with such terrorists and to close plea bargains with their lawyers that do not intimidate perpetrators to repeat their crimes”. Almagor want to emphasize the phenomenon of light punishments that only encourage minors to join the cycle of terror and to cause them to constantly repeat their appearances in the courtroom as are mentioned repeatedly in the written verdicts of the judges.
