a very light sentence for such a disgusting crime that destroys lives
Yes a mule should be punished. But he was a mule.
It’s the gangsters who set him up and who made the 5m ILS they are the ones killing the kids and should be locked away forever.
Drug mules are guilty of attempted murder. Why is his name not being published? He cooperated with law enforcement and the investigation son there cannot be the usual excuse that he is a victim of the zionist police etc.
if it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn’t true. In this case making a bit of money by brings something ‘harmless’ into Israel was really stupid. The guy is now paying for his stupidity….
