A Jerusalem court has sentenced the killer of 16-year-old Palestinian Muhammad Abu Khdeir to life in prison. Yosef Haim Ben-David was convicted last month of killing the teenager in 2014.

In a powerful display of democratic rule and a strong judicial system, an Israeli court sent two Israelis teens to prison for murdering a Palestinian teen.

Whenever a murder or even an accidental death occurs, our reaction as Jews is we take a collective deep breath and sigh, “I hope it wasn't a Jew.” This is today's reality.

Jerusalem's light rail line has become the focus of Arab terror in recent months. All residents of Jerusalem, Israelis and Arabs, are affected.

Israeli authorities are fighting lawlessness on several fronts as well as violence allegedly committed by fringe Jewish extremists.
