The Israeli Arab soldier who shot British ISM terror enabler Tom Hurndall in 2003 has been convicted of manslaughter by an Israeli military court: Israeli Soldier Guilty in Activist’s Death.

CASTINA MILITARY BASE, Israel - A military court convicted an Israeli soldier of manslaughter Monday in the killing of a pro-Palestinian British activist in 2003. The defendant, Wahid Taysir, who no longer is in the army, was accused of shooting Tom Hurndall in the head during an army operation in the Gaza Strip in April 2003.

Witnesses said Hurndall, 22, was helping Palestinian children avoid Israeli tanks. Hurndall was in a coma for nine months before dying in a London hospital.

Taysir’s lawyer, Yariv Ronen, claimed Hurndall died because of malpractice by British doctors. The family dismissed these charges.

The military court found that Taysir shot Hurndall with a sniper rifle using a telescopic sight. It said there was no basis for the claim of malpractice and added that Taysir gave a “confused and even pathetic” version of events to the court.

Taysir also was convicted of obstruction of justice, one count of submitting false testimony, obtaining false testimony and unbecoming behavior. He faces up to 20 years in prison when sentenced in August.

This, of course, is not good enough for the anti-Israel side.

Hurndall’s sister, Sophie Hurndall, praised the verdict but said the army must change its practices.

“This kind of thing needs to stop happening. Until that has changed … we won’t really have won,” she told Sky News TV.

Can anyone remember the last time a Palestinian terrorist was convicted of murder by a PA court, and sentenced to 20 years in prison?

Anyone?
