Racism unto the nations

"Just as Negev farmer Shai Dromi and his family were celebrating his acquittal of manslaughter charges pressed against him, the relatives of Khaled al-Atrash, the burglar shot dead by Dromi as the former broke into his farm, did not hide their anger at the ruling. "This is a racist decision," said Khaled's brother, Ramadan al-Atrash. "If it were a Jew, the story would be entirely different." The al-Atrash family opted not to show at the verdict reading at Beersheba District Court because they felt certain Dromi would be acquitted."
