Equal Rights Issues in Israel

In Israel there have been many terrorist attacks recently. Some say it is due to the occupation in the west bank, others argue it is from incitement from Palestinian leadership. We can all agree terrorism is a terrible thing, that's easy to say, but the real problem is how it has been handed recently in Israel. During many of the stabbing attacks the assailant is a lone wolf Palestinian, and the IDF soldiers who try to stop the attack often open fire on the attacker, and is often killed. But when we look at what happens when the attacker is a Jew everything changes. The IDF often subdues the Jewish assailant without firing a single bullet, he is then tried under the law and sentenced accordingly. This is a clear issue. This very closely relates to what is currently going on in America. but instead of  'White Privilege' it is ' Jewish Privilege' Equal legal rights are very important to give everyone a chance at survival. Also, Not a single Jewish attackers home has been destroyed due to an attack, but many arab houses have been bulldozed because of one family members decision, this family member is also often dead because the IDF opened fire on them instead of any other non-lethal method to subdue them to try them under the law. This is clearly a big issue that must be addressed with better ways to not only prevent more attacks, but also better ways to keep assailants alive so the law can decide their punishment.
