>Don't you watch American crime series? :-) Nah, I gave up on that when I realised they all looked alike. Bad guy commits crime, good guy (the cop) goes after bad guy, good guy and bad guy shoot at each other, bad guy loses. Bad guy dies or goes to jail. Moral of each and every episode of each and every crime series: crime does not pay. I may start watching them again when they become more realistic than that... :-) >If you know of a crime and >support it - yes, you are guilty of harboring a criminal. Did you hear name >Margalit Har-Shefi? No, never heard of her. Who is she? Palestinian? Pro-Palestinian Israeli? >She went to jail because she was suspected of supporting Igal Amir. Never heard of Igal Amir either. Who is Igal Amir? Now, what worries me about your last sentence is that Margalit Har-Shefi was jailed because she was *suspected* of supporting Igal Amir. It suggests the authorities locked her up without bothering about that little detail called "evidence". And what exactly was meant by "supporting Igal Amir"? Did she provide help in the act of committing a crime, or does "support" here mean she had publicly stated she believed Igal Amir was doing the right thing? I mean, I publicly support the Palestinian side in the conflict, but the Dutch authorities will not arrest and jail me for it.
