The case was brought about by Suha and Hussein Abu Khdeir, the parents of 16-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Abu Khdeir, who was murdered in 2014 in a revenge attack over the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers.
The government's current policy is to knock down the houses of Palestinian attackers who have murdered Israelis, as deterrence. But the Khdeir family argued that if this is the case, why does the same not apply to Jews who have murdered Arabs?
"I think if they don't destroy their houses, this is not a democratic state," Hussein Abu Khdeir told DW in July. "It's a state of apartheid, a racist state you cannot live in."
Comment: We think the very fact that the DO destroy the houses of Palestinian attackers is a big enough sign that Israel is somewhat mentally unhinged. But Abu Khdeir is right. If they want to continue such an inhumane policy, might as well apply it democratically.
