The twisted logic behind the Lod verdict: How a nationalist murder became a "reaction out of anger"

About 4 years after the murder: The Lod District Court convicted the terrorists who participated in the lynching in which Yigal Yehoshua was murdered in Lod during Operation Wall Watch of the crime of an act of terrorism. The post The murderers of Yigal Yehoshua in the brutal lynching in Lod were convicted of an act of terrorism appeared first on Srougim.

All eight defendants in the lynching that killed Yigal Yehoshua were convicted by the judges in the Lod court. The judges' decision stated: "The motive for their actions was nationalistic - an intention to harm Jews on the basis of their identity." A fight broke out outside the court between relatives of the defendants, residents of Lod, and members of the "Zvia" yeshiva

Arab rioters were convicted of acts of terror that led to the death of the late Yigal Yehoshua, but the court chose to erase the crime of murder under aggravated circumstances and present the act as the result of "anger" over Jewish rioters - even though the victim was not involved
