Exclusing Jews and Others from Juries

Submitted by Judith (United States), Mar 12, 2013 at 19:25

Defense lawyers as a rule ask for jurors to be excused all the time, even if the reason is obviously with prejudice which is to be expected in our judicial system, however, the hypocrisy of Islamist defendants to hire Jewish lawyers, or to go to Jewish doctors is amusing in a rather sordid way. You see, if they don't stop trying to kill them off, who will be left to defend them or to save their lives with the latest techniques in surgery? Arab Muslims are reticent to go to Arab surgeons for a reason. Statistically they have far less risk having surgery in Israel than in any Islamic country. The oxymoron here is that it seems they cannot get along without calling upon the Jews, and on a regular basis. Why the Jewish people are so accommodating is a conundrum. Once again the world bends to Islam. I am hoping for an aberration.
