Israeli prosecutors say Munther and Muzhir Badir, two young and mischievous Israeli Arab brothers, managed to tap into an Israeli Defense Force radio-station switchboard last year and make international phone calls. Piercing such sensitive networks would seem to be an achievement for two members of Israel’s marginalized Arab community – especially since the brothers, who aren’t college-educated, have been blind since birth. Even prosecutor Doron Porat calls Munther Badir, the alleged “cybercrime” ringleader who prosecutors say had other accomplices, a “genius … who has clearly overcome this disability.”
\nAs the Badir trial begins in a Tel Aviv district court, other Israeli Arabs are either taking delight in seeing Israel annoyed by the two brothers, or casting the Badirs as innocent victims of an Israeli conspiracy. After all, some ask, how could a blind person engineer such a scheme?<\/p>\n

While this is a few years old, Mary heard in passing a mention of one of the brothers being sentenced today.<\/p>\n
