Scales of Justice: 30-Day Term for Leftist Who Hit Policemen
A Jerusalem Magistrate Court handed down a relatively light 30-day jail term to a known leftist activist for assaulting policemen during the destruction of an illegal Arab structure in the southern Hevron Hills.
Sentences to Jewish activists usually are much harsher and have included orders expelling them from their homes and the surrounding area for weeks and sometimes months.
