Shy Dromi a Jewish farmer , who killed an Arab intruder - innocent

Shy Dromi is an Israeli farmer who lives in the Negev . On January 2007 he shot thieves that broke into his farm.It was in the wee late hours of the night. One of them died ,the other one was badly wounded. The case braught up a public debate , weather it was a moral thing to shoot a thieve , an invader into one's house. Shy Dromi was found innocent of a murder charge ,but guilty of killing and of holding weapon without a license . The Israeli court let him go free.

I'd like to share here , my own little story :as a Jewish person who lives in Israel - my home town is my one and only home in this big planet. I live in a nice neighbourhood . I don't sleep well at nights. The truth is , I'm a real night bird . Even when I do sleep , it is usually a light sort of sleep. Over the past 10 year there have been about four breaking entries into our house . The first time ,they broke ,they stole among other things a cellular phone . Appearently they used some kind of smoke or gas to numb people. Luckily I wasnt' there . I was at the time 27. When a member of my family called them, they laughed at his face(They stoll his doctor kit and fled in his car) , their accent left no place for mistake. They were Arabs from a nearby village. That was the first time...then there were a few others . Some when we weren't home . Other's we could stop . Luckily they weren't violent. These are not considered to be falonies based over differences of nationality , but in fact they are.

We always get the police's sympathy -this is where it ends. No policeman would dare going into certain Arab villages .

I know of one farmer who had great losses time and again , when Arabs kept stealing his cattle . One time he and a friend decided to ambush the thieves .When he caught the thieves , he and his partner stripped them naked ,and coloured them green. Then they reliesed them near thier village. That man spent 10 month in an Israeli prison ,with criminals and people of dubious deeds.

But even if the robbers are not Arabs . We live in a state that does not defend innocent people from criminals. I have never heard of one person who got his property back . So , yes I have a stand in this matter. I am on Shy Dromi's side.
