http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/justicetoyigalamirYigal Amir remains in solitary confinement in Israeli jail for more that 15 years. In Israel it's completely unprecedented. At the same time, the Arab terrorists including those that have committed mass murders and are serving several life sentences, are imprisoned together. They can talk, pray and study together. They have mobile phones and an access to internet, give interviews to the Arab press and study in the Israeli Open University. But when Yigal Amir asks for permission to pray in minyan, it falls on dead ears.
This double standard of the Israeli establishment is outrageous. But it seems to me that the problem lies not only with the establishment, it's deeper. The reasons for the mild conditions of terrorists' incarceration are not only the leftist sympathies of the establishment but also the solidarity between the Arabs and the support their prisoners receive. It's a shame for us that those guys from the Israeli Prison Authority perfectly know that it's better for them not to irritate Arab inmates, but when it comes to a Jew, then – who cares?
That's why I think the petition is so important not just for Amir but for all of us. When they do not permit a Jewish prisoner to fulfill mitzvoth realizing that it won't provoke ANY reaction, it's hillul Hashem! The text of petition is completely void of any political agenda; its message is clear: the equality before the law and the solidarity of the Jews.
