or the Jewish Brigade? Bedpan fumes may be hazardous to your health and cause serious and irreversable brain damage.
32. King Bibi the Weak grovels again
A ,   Belgium   (03.11.14)
"We're sorry we killed your terrorist, er, judge". Perhaps if he had been a cab driver, or laborer, or unemployed an apology wouldn't have been forthcoming. But a judge, even if he is mentally disturbed and dangerous as apparantly this one was, is rather visible so King Bibi the Weak feels obliged to apologize for the world to see (he is a poor PR man as he has proven earlier in the week), as he did to Erdogan. If this judge had killed the soldier that he had attacked, would King Bibi have been so quick to apology to his family, with the usual "we will fight terror..." story? And why was the terrorist described as being of "Palestinian origins"? He was a Jordanian, "palestinians" are Jordanians.

Did someone die and leave you in charge? If Mexico were to make such a demand of the United States following the shooting of a Mexican national (which happens quite often, actually), the U.S. administration would make short work of the demand, or would simply ignore it completely. As should Israel.
34. A judge...???!!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

37. Oh, Oh BB what about Regret for destroying you own people?
Corey Feldman ,   BH   (03.11.14)
Regret for releasing, arming, feeding, training those who have killed those you serve? Regret for voting over&over&over&over again to disenfranchise those you serve? Regret for ordering with your self proclaimed "Iron fist" to enforce your destructive dictates by ordering those sworn to protect Jews to instead destroy them? BUPKIS

Why you uptight? Let the camera record confirm the Israeli take on events. If he went haywire, then he had to be capped, and that's the end of the matter. Yer sounding just a touch too defensive on this judge event. Uneasy even. What's up?
41. 16 year old Mexican boy shot repeatedly in the back...
Harry Wright ,   UK   (03.12.14)
by a US border agent. Any fuss made over that? Did it the headline in any newspaper? Any coverage of the 15 Africans who drowned as Spanish border guards fired rubber bullets in their direction as they swam towards the Spanish border at Ceuta bordering Morocco? The EU launched an inquiry into the incident but any mention of the incident is buried in back pages. Both incidents were quite recent. Now, when a hate-crazed Arab is shot by the IDF for attacking and trying to disarm a soldier, that becomes headline news in rags like the New York Times.

Mmm hmm. How about this: "I don't believe Osama bin Laden is really dead. I demand that the United States release the footage which was taken of him from the time his allegedly lifeless corpse was put on the helicopter right up until the time he slipped beneath the waves. I want seventeen experts from neutral countries to view the footage and to confirm that the film hasn't been doctored or altered in any manner." Okay. So let's say, for a moment, that some puissant desert sheikh made that demand of the United States of America. What would the American reaction be, Cameron? There! I guess you've just answered your question. There are rough days ahead for Jordan. Israel is going to repatriate 2.5 million Jordanian citizens. I wonder how much this "judge" was doped up to induce him to do what he did. Jordan's just aching to start a first-class row with Israel; these are 2.5 million Jordanians they don't want repatriated. Jordan's testing the waters. They want to see how much they can get away with. Fortunately, Israel's not going to cave into Jordan's -- or anyone else's -- demands.

What is this fuss about Jordan? I would think that you, of all people, would absolutely relish showing an Arab audience the "judge moment" as recorded. Yes? We would all like to review the footage to see if it really follows the script laid out by Israeli authorities. Hardly unreasonable pressure.
