Synagogue burning justified

So, do you think the German courts would view torching a mosque as a justifed protest against ISIS? Different laws for Muslims? BTW, the three who firebombed the synagogue were of Palestinian descent. This particular synagogue had been burned once before. It was destroyed by Nazis in 1938 during Kristallnacht. Interesting that modern Germany, to atone for its past, is supporting the same sort of behavior. It must rock to be a member of a protected class.


GERMAN COURT CALLS SYNAGOGUE TORCHING AN ACT TO 'CRITICIZE ISRAEL'
BY BENJAMIN WEINTHAL 13 JANUARY 2017 03:41

A regional court in Germany has decided that a brutal attempt to set fire to a local synagogue in 2014 was an act meant to express criticism against Israel’s conduct in its ongoing conflict with Hamas.

A German regional court in the city of Wuppertal affirmed a lower court decision last Friday stating that a violent attempt to burn the city’s Bergische Synagogue by three men in 2014 was a justified expression of criticism of Israel’s policies.
