He fled to Israel because Israel will not extradite a Jew anywhere for any cause (or so I understand from the news accounts--I'm not a lawyer).

Despite the disclaimer, I suspect you know that statement isn't true. Sheinbeins murderer wasn't extradited because he would have faced the death penalty in the US. Dozens of countries from Europe to South/Central America to our neighbor to the south have the same policy. He was tried in Israel, where he got a much lighter sentence than he would have in the US. Israeli Nationals at the time of the commission of the crime (not Jews) aren't extradited, also a policy followed by dozens of countries.

Actually I think the most legitimate indictment in this context would be against Yasser Arafat, who ordered the murder of two American diplomats in the 1970s.

He was not an Isreali National at the time he broke out the power tools and tortured his victim. Even the Isrealis were embarrassed by the shameless manueverings they went through to provide safe haven for the sadistic cretin.

Didn't they even change a few evaluatory citizenship considerations as a result of this abomination?
