4. Okay, two years. Victim disabled for life.
"The Palestinian victim reportedly remains incapacitated by a potentially lifelong disability."

Finner burst onto the scene with a loaded Uzi submachine gun and began firing in the air and directly at the Palestinians. One Palestinian man was severely wounded by the gunfire and was rushed to a hospital to be operated upon.

"Not only did the defendant not flee the scene of the crime, he even got deeper into the mix," Judge Rachel Barkai said in her ruling. "He escalated an already tense confrontation by using his weapon unnecessarily. The defendant was fully aware of his actions when he fired his weapon and exhibited perfect composure. The act was intended to demonstrate power in the face of the Palestinians that were at the scene.

The comparable sentence if he had shot a Jewish Israeli after firing a Uzi into a crowd?

He did get a year probation in addition to two years.
Also, This just occurred. Will he be in prison in 2008? I doubt it.

The challenge is still on. find one who has actually served more than a year.
For extra credit, find one that has served more than 10 years for murder of a Palestinian. Wouldn't that be the expectation if an Jewish Israeli kills another? At least. If not, fill me in.
