An Israeli military court has found an 18-year-old Palestinian man guilty of the murder of a settler family in the West Bank, an army spokesman has said.

Hakim Awad had confessed to murdering Udi and Ruthie Fogel, and three of their children, as they slept in their home in the Itamar settlement in March.

His brother, 19-year-old Amjad Awad, is also standing trial for the attack.

The murders shocked Israelis and were also condemned by Palestinian leaders and the international community.

Does Israel have the death penalty ? pal terrorists need to be executed publicly . All their surrounding neighbor countries should understand ,as they all have that practice . Israel needs to send a message . Then leave the bodies up in trees . No burial .

Smear the perps in pig blood and hang ‘em. Have dogs piss on their remains.

It’s called the ‘west bank’ to make people forget it’s Biblical History.

It refers to Judea and Samaria

In Israel, capital punishment is illegal in almost all circumstances. Israel inherited the British Mandate of Palestine code of law, which included death penalty for several offenses, but in 1954 Israel abolished this penalty with the exceptions of conviction for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against the Jewish people, and treason in wartime.

Too bad.

The murders shocked Israelis and were also condemned by Palestinian leaders and the international community.

But not by ordinary Palestinians, who celebrated the murders, a fact that the BBC somehow forgets to mention (at least in this excerpt).

No. He’ll eventually be released in exchange for “peace” of for a hostage.

The perps:

Jews are killed, Arabs celebrate:

Does Israel have the death penalty ?

To the best of my knowledge, the only death penalty crime there is for convicted NAZI was criminals. I believe the only man ever put to death in Israel was Adolf Eichmann.

Of course, that hasn't stopped the Mossad from executing many terrorists... And there's speculation that they assasinated Gerald Bull who was developing a "super-gun" artillery piece for Hussein in Iraq.

The only story that I found on a quick google showed that the Palistinian President Mahnoud Abbas was pushed into issueing the condemnation by Israel, and even then, he fell short of a full condemnation.

Sounds like a perfect solution to me.....

Thanks LeoWindhorse.

Palestinians danced in the street when they heard of the grisly murders of defenseless children. Just as they danced in the street on 911. A defeated, decadent, and depraved people.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

It’s totally appropriate to include these anti-Semitic mass murderers in the group called “Nazis.”

Toss twenty pieces of silver at them and hang them on a tree, then bury the SOB’s in a potters yard. Were these not card carrying arab Israeli’s? If so I pray Israel started bulldozing the M**rs homes.

Finally, some justice.
