Two of the suspects in the arson attack on the Jerusalem Bilingual School have been convicted and sentenced to prison. Nachman Tuito was sentenced to 2.5 years in jail and his brother Shlomo to 2 years imprisonment. The trial of the third suspect, Yitzchak Gabbai, is still ongoing. Their actions were caught on a surveillance camera.
The brothers were also ordered to pay compensation to the school. Shlomo must pay NIS 10,000 and Nachman NIS 15,000.
It was clear the two were not feeling remorse for their actions and they left the courtroom singing and shouting it worth the jail time.
The arson attack was an act of protest against the school which has Jewish and Arab students, which the convicted arsonists insist leads to assimilation and intermarriage.

These boys stood up against assimilation like modern day maccabees. I hope my daughters are zoche to marry boys with as much courage to stand up for Am Yisrael as these boys some day
The boys are criminals and received very lenient sentences.
Setting fire to a school full of children is not justifyable under any circumstances.
These animals should spend their live in prison. They are no better that Nazi Youth.
