Ask the Arab Israeli leaders if that's what they want the Israeli security forces to do next time they capture someone trying to murder their people. It is one thing if the perp is in the process of killing, it is entirely something else after he/she's in custody.
If the mob killed the perp while he was killing then good for the mob. Otherwise they're just barbarians.
They did. He was on the bus in their town when he opened fire killing 4 Arabs and wounding many more. He was trying to get another clip in his gun so he could kill more Arabs. A passenger on the bus got the gun away from him and the people outside thought the passenger was the perp and started to beat him. Then they found out it was the Israeli and the crowd beat him to death.
They didn't need to lynch him. He was already dead. The Israeli was a member of the IDF and quit or got booted out because he was freaking out over the coming pull out, so he took it out on the Israeli Arabs.
“Otherwise they're just barbarians.”
That’s got my vote.
"An enraged witness to the incident said, "If this attack had occurred in a Jewish neighborhood and the attacker was Arab, he would have been killed immediately. The police came and they didn't do anything!" he said. "The police didn't even shoot the attacker – they were holding him alive in the bus."

If the mob killed the perp while he was killing then good for the mobThat's why an investigation is justified, regardless of the threats. Initial reports were exactly this, a crowd attacked him while he was reloading. Closer to Flight 93 than vigilantism.
Later reports suggest otherwise. Even though he deserved the firing squad that Israeli law unfortunately does not permit, taking him away from police officers who had already subdued him cannot be justified, and also places the police at risk.
