1. Disgraceful figures
Aharon   (10.27.06)
How can this be true? How can we call this an enlightened, modern, MORAL, western country? Utterly revolting. This is a disgrace to Israel and the Jewish people.
2. He stays inside till death. - His death!
Boaz ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (10.27.06)
3. Let him rot...
Paul ,   London, UK   (10.27.06)
The figures are indeed disturbing. This is a murderer whose actions were not just against a man but against the State, against democracy and against Judaism He did not like Rabin's policies so he killed him. Worse, he did it in the name of the Jewish faith. Amir must never be released.
4. Evil
Right Wing Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.27.06)
I wholeheartedly disagreed and still disagree with the Oslo accords and the present appeasement policy with our enemies who are sworn to destroy us. I also despise the Labour party and socialism as a whole. However Yigal Amir is a murderer and as such should rot in a cell for the rest of his days. This is based on the principle that murderers should pay for their deeds whether they kill a street cleaner from Jaffa or Yithak Rabin in my eyes the crime is the same. This is premeditated murder! and as such he must pay. It is irrespective of who the victim is.
5. Halloween again
Ilan ,   Ariel   (10.27.06)
Stupid holiday anyway, should just let it pass as quietly as possible.
6. if you want the REAL truth about who killed YR
Michael Steiner   (10.27.06)
....go to the link, watch the video and THEN draw your conclusion.... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3730438644581633961&q=barry+chamish&hl=en
7. perhaps Amir is innocent
Y ,   Israel   (10.27.06)
Here's proof that a large percentage of the Israeli public doesn't believe that Yigal Amir killed Prime minister Rabin. Here's proof that all the memorial services, govternment ceremonies, and school programs about the Rabin's legacy and the evil of the "right" just aren't being bought by the public. Am Yisrael Chai!
8. In one generation, religious will be majority = Amir freed
Dudu ,   Kfar Sava   (10.27.06)
9. Mr yigal Amir
Gillber ,   Firenze Italy   (10.27.06)
Why should he be in prison??no nee d,,,Free him is better,,,,after all he is a jewish boy,,,and him in prison will not bring back the very dead prime minister,,,,,33% of Israely peopel want him free,,,,,so,,, why not,,,do something good for one of your peopel....
10. He didn't kill Rabin
Lila ,   Jerusalem   (10.27.06)
What is wrong with everyone? The video of the shooting shows the gun firing and Rabin doesn't flinch, doesn't fall forward of down, he only starts to turn his head. He wasn't shot then! Why Amir is in jail at all is the question - and more importantly, whoever killed Rabin is walking around free.
11. OMG
darryl ,   israel   (10.27.06)
WHAT A F***ED UP COUNTRY WE ARE
12. Pardon to political murderer
Dan A. ,   France   (10.27.06)
To only ask to public opinion if Ygal Amir should be pardoned, represent a shame for israeli media
13. Unbelievable !!! a country of murderers !! for God's Sake
steve ,   US   (10.27.06)
this terrorist assassinated a prime minister who was serving in office !!! even such article and just contemplation of the idea of releasing him is a disgrace and shows that israel is turning more and more to a country of murderes and hate !!!
14. yigal amir
gadalyah   (10.27.06)
he has to stay in jail for the rest of his life.
15. Poll: 70% back this dog's execution
Yisraeli ,   TA IL   (10.27.06)
16. the man broke the law - he killed the prime minister
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (10.27.06)
it is 100% beside the point WHY he killed rabin. even if the entire country sympathizes with amir, he broke the law and kille the sitting prime minister. politics and ideology aside, anyone who commits a crime like that should be punished to the full extent of the law. otherwise, the entire corpus of israeli law is meaningless and arbitrary.
17. Freeing this murderer will bring civil war to israel
Shimon ,   Tel Aviv   (10.27.06)
18. Yigal is a national hero
sharon ,   israel   (10.27.06)
19. why can terrorists have conjugal visits
Michael   (10.27.06)
why is the penalty for Murder different between a terrorist or a killer. They both kil the Prime Minister's life is Morally equivalent to any other jew. I believe the law needs to be consist. If it isn't its lost is moral foundation and we as asociety have a bigger issue to discuss. Why are there different levels of intentional acts of killing?
20. Exchange him for Shalit
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (10.27.06)
21. What about terrorist murderers being freed?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.27.06)
They were freed to continue murdering Jews. What about someone who threw a handgrenade at survivors of the Atalena? He killed Jews.But he was not jailed and he later was elected p.m. of Israel twice!
22. #15
DARRYL ,   ISRAEL   (10.27.06)
PLEASE DONT INSULT MY DOGS YIGAL AMIR IS SCUM
23. How About a re-trial with ALL evidence?end
(10.27.06)
24. Wrong headline - should be 70 percent say keep him in jail
JPS ,   Efrat   (10.27.06)
Ahh...dontcha just love editors who jazz up a story a bit to make it something more than it really is. The vast majority of citizens support the verdict against Yigal Amir - the self-confessed murderer. May he repent from his sins and do tshuva for the rest of his days - in jail where he belongs.
25. #13
(10.27.06)
Yeah Steve just like the USA
26. Pardon or new trial
Ida ,   Chicago   (10.27.06)
Which Rabin's bodyguard kill him? Why 2 of them are also dead? Who ordered the killing?
27. Shabak did it.
Adam ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.27.06)
28. nightmare
Michael ,   Haifa   (10.27.06)
There are several dark vile creatures from the past who would relish the thought that with that one third of our population they would not have been defeated. As for the other two thirds, they would undoubtedly find a "solution"
29. He should stay in jail
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (10.27.06)
Until the day the Israelis agree to release Samir Kuntar.
30. idiots
ely ,   usa   (10.27.06)
