Karkur bombing architect sentenced to 14 life terms
The Samaria military court sentenced Muhammad Akel to 14 consecutive life sentences and an additional 40 years for instigating and dispatching suicide bombers who blew up a bus at the Karkur junction killing 14 in 2002.

Akel, a member of the Islamic Jihad, was also involved in 20 shooting incidents and other attempts to harm Israeli soldiers and citizens.

How long before Israel trades this monster and 300 more just like him for the bodies of kidnapped soldiers or a kidnapped businessman? Prison is not the answer in this case.

2. So you would make the exception only for a
Palestinian/Arab Don? Or would you make such exceptions also for Israelis (like those raping a Palestinian girl then killing her?)

9. Again, that's not what he said.
With all due respect, you do put words in his mouth.

8. That's not what he said, bluesoul.
A reasonable person would not see "this guy" and automatically assume that he or she is talking about the person's ethnic group, national origin, etc., but would logically deduce that he or she is talking about that person's actions.

In other words:

It's not because he's an Arab, it's because he's a terrorist!

10. Hmmm
Generalizing is not uncommon. Especially when Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims are concerned. As though they're all terrorists and should ALL apologize for the actions of a few.

12. I'm talking about Jpost articles
As for individuals here I would rather not comment on that since it's against the rules. Unfortunately I have seen it here on several occasions..

13. He will never
be included in a prisoner exchange. You can count on that. Notice how the deal with Hizbollah fell through. Israel refused to free the terrorist sentenced for a role in the killing of an Israeli family.

14. Death penalty
They should give him the death penalty and THEN include him in a prisoner exchange.

17. That's how the Palestinians do it!
Sickening to watch terrorists be let out of prison in exchange for body parts of murdered Israelis.
