31. #2 - excuses for mass murderer...
David   (09.18.11)
According to your, so called, logic, Jews should mas murder German families, including babies, with a big smile on their faces. But no. Jews never killed innocent civilians. Even DURING the Holocaust and all the atrocities, when Jews could kill German civilians - like during the Warsaw uprising - they only fought Nazi military targets. Because it's all about education and culture! Arabs teach children to HATE and KILL, since they are born. Culture of DEATH.
32. Capital Punishment
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (09.18.11)
It is a major blemish on the national ethic of the State of Israel that we do not have the death penalty for such savage beasts. The extreme liberalism that has become the hallmark of "enlightened Western societies" is utter nonsense when faced with situations like this one. Cold-blooded murderers and terrorists prove beyond any doubt that they have no respect for human life. As such, they give up their own right to live.
33. The smiling baby killer
Elsie ,   Gush halav   (09.18.11)
I think you will find that this sub-human is a real psychopath, and should never be let out of prison or be place in a closed mental institution .It is well known that you can never treat a psychopath.
34. Israel should use Burma's methods
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (09.18.11)
Prisoners are made to lay rigid on the floor of their cell, wearing upwards of 15KG of chains, if they make the slightest motion, without permission that are brutally beaten Let him look forward to this for his five lifetimes of imprisonment, every unauthorized movement will bring agony
35. Awads best friend will be his right hand
Ish Kabibble ,   Delancey   (09.18.11)
that will console him during his extended stay in the hoosegow
36. The article is right about the teaching of contempt & hate
Joe ,   Canada   (09.18.11)
The monster that was made out of a teenager into a murderer is not an exceptional random event, not a genetic manifestation of agressivness. The unrelenting teaching of contempt & hate in Palestinian schools & media as well in other Muslim lands is not only easily endoctrinating malleable minds of youngsters it is also subverting adults submitted to the one way controlled information by autoritarian regimes. What is going on in most Muslim countries with regards to Jews in general (not just Jews in Israel) is what I believe Elie Wiesel said about genocides: " All genocides start with words". People born quite normal are made to deeply believe the horrible crimes they are committing are actually admirable & worthy of rewards by men &/or by god
37. He could choke on a chicken bone...
David ,   Hartford USA   (09.18.11)
He could slip in the showers, he could trip going down some stairs. He might choke on molten iron being poured down his throat... Anything could happen, just give it some time. This smiling piece of Islamic dirt will disappear in the prison system, never to be seen again. I hope some prison administrator has the integrity to see that this happens. Slaughter a Jewish family and laugh it off? As you watch your entrails being eaten from your body by wild dogs, do pardon us if we have to laugh at your demise.
38. no hope for these people, thank you Meotti
Abigail Weiss   (09.18.11)
39. Hakim Awad, no matter how much and
Forza Julio !   (09.18.11)
how hard you insist on what you said, namely: “I am a person like you, I have no mental condition, I never had a serious illness,” you are seriously illminded, a demented terrorist brought up in the creed of killing Jews and inflicting death upon kids by slitting throats. You are much worse than the most abject animal on Earth. May you rot in prison for the rest of your miserable life and may your mental condition defeat you.
40. have you all forgotten
sickened   (09.18.11)
that a prominent left wing woman from 'watch dogs' or whatever they call themselves, went to cuddle and commiserate with this filth bag's mother and was proudly photographed doing so.Our left are far worse than their scumbags. Our left are loyal only to our enemies and identify solidly with all their evil
41. looks like 'that smiling assassin' (from 1995) doesn't he?
hmmmm.... ,   right here!   (09.18.11)
unfortunately foul banal evil lives on both sides of the fence....so very sad!
42. Misguided Government
Joe   (09.18.11)
The government never does the right thing for the good of the people of Israel. It let the child killer Samir Kuntar go free and now it just jails these cold blooded killers instead of executing them. Some Arabs that did not do anything have been killed by the IDF and these monsters are spared. Were is the justice here?
43. This "human being"
Sagi   (09.18.11)
is only a symptom of an illness. You do not cure an illness by treating the symptom but rather the illness itself must be attacked, the root must be found and if necessary surgery performed. There is an illness in the world today which goes by the name of religion. This illness is slowly but surely turning into an epidemic and if a cure is not found, including surgery, the ensuing result will be nothing less than disaster for humanity. It goes like this, if we do not get rid of the illness, it will get rid of us.
44. I wonder if Hakim Awad will still be smiling
Devorah   (09.18.11)
after he becomes somebody's bitch.
45. #44 of course he will...
rob ,   Orangevale Ca. USA   (09.18.11)
If he is happy about killing children, he will be hysterical to have somebody 'love' him. The problem is, that some other Pali prisoner will accommodate him as if nothing he did was wrong. THAT"S the problem. All Pali's are somebody's 'bitch', that's why they wont think for themselves. Ugly way to put it ,but hey, if the shoe fits... Shalom Israel, Rob
46. #16 The thought and reality that Samir Kuntar ...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (09.18.11)
...walks free is sickening. Yehoshua, I think Israel should bring in the death penalty for this sort of crime. Let Awad's corpse be used as a bargaining chip, if there are deals to be made.
47. Rationalizing hatred
Ami Katz   (09.18.11)
Most of journalists and writers rationalize hatred and antisemitism, Meotti didn't it. Kudos
48. #2, Jarda
israeli ,   israel   (09.18.11)
Dear Jarda, your vast knowledge of history and insight of the Middle East situation is amazing. Therefore I would greatly appreciate your take on why Amin el-Husseini hated the Jews so much during WWII that he decided to join Hitler and volunteered to build extermination camps in Mandatory Palestine in order to contribtute to the final solution. Was it because of Lydda ?
49. By the laws of these faiths that we claim.
Jerusalem   (09.19.11)
His penalty would be death.
50. to no 2
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.19.11)
No,you check what happened.You have a computer-use it.Foolish woman.
51. To Devorah 44
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (09.19.11)
Yes,because he has that RING of confidence.
52. G-d and the Haters
MR ,   Passaic,NJ,USA   (09.19.11)
Often people who claim a belief in G-d also say that they are doing His will. Indeed, if we posit an all powerful G-d, we all must at some level be doing His will, because He would have the means to ensure it. Indeed, David, in Psalms, asks G-d "save me from my enemy, your sword". But if we also assume that everything G-d is for a purpose, then such tools of destruction as the haters, perhaps like the Egyptians of old, beneath the sea, WILL be put away when their purpose is done, never to be seen again. Any person functioning on such sane and logical premises should be careful how he walks....
53. Jards #2- Lydda
Arnold-Canada ,   Canada   (09.19.11)
This occured in July 1948. Already part of the tit for tat that occured in May 1948 when the Palestinians and 5 other arab armies attacked Israel. Or back in 1920 1921 1929 when Arabs slaughtered Jews in Jerusalem , Jaffa, and Hebron. The hate started with Islam Jarda.
54. Thank you, Mr. Meotti, for trying to
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (09.19.11)
wake up the Jewish population as to the real nature of the opposition. People like Awad as well as those others you commented on are psychopaths, people with no conscience who take pleasure only in being the cause of suffering in others. As I worked in a forensic capacity and studied this phenomenon inside-out, I can tell you there is no appeal to conscience which works with such human beings. They cannot be rehabilitated. They only respond to greater force and consequent fear. Awad has no fear. He knows that he will live out his life under reasonably beneficial conditions and might even be used as a pawn in terms of trading him for one of our own. Sort of executing this gutless psychopath, we should make his imprisonment very harsh and make sure that the enemies of Israel become aware of how miserable their future existence will become if the strike, or even attempt to strike, against us.
55. Hakim Awad
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.19.11)
Whoa ! This cannot be right, his family assured us that he was innocent. Throw him into the sea with cement shoes.
56. Fake smile
Charles   (09.19.11)
This killer won't be smiling as he spends the rest if his life in a small cage... Like the rat he is. It's all show. He will never be free, never have a family and rot until he dies... And then he has a firey hell waiting for him because god is one of justice and as he claims to be sane... God will have no mercy on this rat.
57. Jarda
Honza ,   Ceske Budejovice, CR   (09.19.11)
As a Czech citizen, I must excuse myself for the "talkbacks" of a subject calling himself Jarda from Czech Republic. Sadly, we have idiots here as well. Pls. believe me, not all our countrymen are demented like Jarda.
58. Smiling babykiller
Rachel   (09.19.11)
I saw a picture of him when he was being taken back to his prison cell,he wasn't smiling any longer,in fact,it looked like he was going to cry. Maybe he has a conscience after all.
59. this one takes the bisquit...
