Israeli justice uneven for grieving Palestinians

(The Christian Science Monitor) At the center of an otherwise idyllic Palestinian village, soot still blackens the entryway of a house where an arson attack by Israelis this past summer took the lives of Saed and Reham Dawabshe and one of their two sons, Ali, an infant.

The grandparents wistfully remember the evening before the predawn fire: plans to buy a new dress and taking a day off from work. Now the family and the village of Duma are haunted by the image of an infant killed in his crib.

“The smile on my face will never come back,” said Mohammed Dawabshe as he wiped away tears in a sitting parlor just a few feet away from his son and daughter-in-law’s home.
