Two Israeli teens convicted in beating, burning death of Palestinian

JERUSALEM, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Two Jewish teens were convicted of murder Monday in the 2014 abduction, killing and burning of a Palestinian youth near Jerusalem.

The victim, Mohammed Abu Khdeir, 16, was taken from outside his East Jerusalem home to a forest near the city, where he was beaten unconscious and then burned alive. The incident shocked Israelis and Palestinians and was considered an instigator to a period of violence that summer, which included a 50-day armed Israeli invasion of Gaza.

The two boys convicted were not identified because they were minors at the time of the crime. They said in court they were responsible for Abu Khdeir's abduction but not his killing. One was also convicted of attempting to kidnap a Palestinian youth on the night before Abu Khdeir's abduction.

A third person charged and regarded as the main suspect in the case, Yosef Haim Ben-David, 31, was found responsible for the crimes but his verdict was delayed after his lawyers submitted a psychiatric evaluation and an insanity plea. The court said the submission of the evaluation was "contrary to proper and appropriate procedure," but scheduled another hearing in Ben-David's case for Dec. 20.

Ben-David is a relative of the two people convicted.

The victim's father, Hussein Abu Khdeir, who attended the court hearing Monday, regularly remarked he expected Ben-David to plead insanity. He said, after the ruling, Ben-David's last-minute psychiatric report "made a joke of the court. My blood is boiling."

Violence continued in predominantly Palestinian East Jerusalem over the weekend. A Palestinian, Ayman Sameeh Abbasi, 17, died during clashes with Israeli security forces, and Israeli police said at least 10 firebombs were thrown at border patrol agents in the area.

They must be called Intolerable society or medically disabled to commit the crime due to illness however never will they be considered extremist

@Solomon2 Any news about Palestine and there is the instant thread from you....Wonder why you didn't post this first...!

I'm glad that they've been convicted and may the punishment will be fit.
Those kind of violence from both sides shouldn't be tolerant and criminals should face the full extent of the law.

Measure of any society is how it dispenses justice - scales of justice must be equal to all. This is a example where Isreal comes out looking good.

Not it does not - watch how light the sentences are for crimes that Jews commit against Palestinians than vice-versa.

it does

It does. Your a Bengali sat in UK like I am a Pak sat in UK. So do me favour stop with the bull. I have no idea how great your country does on justice but I do know in Pakistan a Ahmedi being killed by a mob is like a dog being killed in UK.

We ought to learn the meaning of "people who live in glasshouses should not .......... "

BD is by far the most tolerant country in the whole sub-continent by a mile, and so no point even making a comparison with Pakistan at all.

You seem to be in a mood to appease any and all here - Jews place little value in Palestinian lives and that is a fact. A "trial" with a conviction is no indication of any impartiality in the justice system.

mood to appease

I do not appease anybody. Me and apeasement are permanently estranged. However I am tired of this over valuation of Palestinian life. Far more people are suffering in other parts of the world yet no sound comes out of anybody. I am pretty sure more Bangali's are suffering in Bangladesh and in Myanmar then Palestinians. So while you no doubt are well fed in UK but you need to recall the saying "charity begins at home". Spare your goody goody for them rather than thumping for the Palestine cause.

most tolerant country in the whole sub-continent by a mile

Is it now? Maybe you need to shout that out more loudly as Karachi, Pakistan has over 3 million mostly illegal Bangladeshi migrants who have ran away from tolerance. And no most have come post 1971 in particular over last two decades. More come all the time. Strange concept. Local Pakistani's are heading to Europe. These guys from your tolerant country and it's environs are swimming 1,300 miles to intolerant Pakistan.

Bizzare.

The last two hangings of opposition politicians by a sham tribunal, as per HRW, contradicts your statement.

Absolutely, no denying it. One only has to look at when, why, and how often houses are demolished by israel in Palestine. That should give anyone with half a brain, a realistic picture of israeli justice.

Houses are demolished only for those who do kill based nationalistic hate crimes, again, saying half truths.
You're saying "absolutly" without even know the facts which is clearly the result of your blind hate toward Israelies

No matter how much garbage you talk on online forums, you can't hide the fact that you are nothing more than barbarians, carrying out atrocities on a daily basis, blinded by your hatred and bigotry.
