Beersheba court sentenced an Arab to 25 years in jail for launching rockets at Israel. If that is a crime, 10,000 other Gazans should also be jailed, as well as the government of Israel, which allows this to happen.
The Arab, of course, was arrested for a different reason: he participated in an attack on IDF soldiers in 2007. Such offenses are taken seriously, and the Arab was duly arrested. Attacks on Israeli civilians are treated as a less serious crime.
The Arab does not belong in jail. He is not a criminal but an enemy fighter, who can be interned or—preferably—killed on sight.
