Abu Khdeir urges home demolitions for killers

Hussein Abu Khdeir says that if the government would have demolished the homes of his son’s killers, the Dawabsha family would not have been murdered in the July 31, 2015, firebombing attack in the West Bank village of Duma.

“My Jewish clients ask me if I hate them, and I tell them no, I hate those that burned [my son],” he says in court, according to Channel 10. “I ask that you give them the harshest punishment, demolish their homes, just as they do for Arabs. There must be equality in punishment. If they would have demolished their homes, the Dawabsha family would not have been burned. Light sentences encourage them to commit these sorts of attacks.”
