World Net Daily on Sunday posted a report that an Israeli Jew had been arrested for taking part in a failed rocket attack on a Palestinian village.
The question is, will Israel act honorably and equitably in this matter or will a double standard be applied in the case of Mr. Gilad Herman? Whenever a Palestinian is arrested for acts of terrorism against any Israeli interest, that individual's home is destroyed. Sometimes on top of aged parents and others who may or may not have had anything to do with or even been aware of the incident. The arrest itself is generally used as proof of the terrorist act and thus justification for the destruction.
Will Mr. Herman's home also be destroyed after an exhaustive thirty second investigation? Or is it impossible for an Israeli Jew to be a terrorist, just as no minority in this country is capable of committing racist acts?
Double standards do not make very effective moral shields.
