Knesset members from across the political spectrum were divided on Wednesday about the court verdict earlier in the morning exonerating farmer Shai Dromi from killing a Bedouin thief who infiltrated his property in 2007.

Arab Knesset members claimed that the court had made a racist decision. They were joined by MK Yuli Tamir who said the decision sanctioned a “wild west” attitude. On the other hand, MKs Danny Danon and Ronit Tirosh agreed with the decision.
