1. what about the child?
peleg   (10.20.06)
what child wants to be born with those parents? Pity that he/she can't have anything to say.
2. i'm sure the live press coverage will be something to watch

3. Good- it's a mitzvah
Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (10.20.06)
"Be fruitful and multiply". Just because he's in jail doesn't mean that he's exempt- or that others have the right to prevent him from fulfilling this commandment.
4. An impotent justice.
Mo ,   Israel   (10.20.06)
Apparently justice is no longer only blind but impotent as well. Has anyone considered what kind of life and legacy a child born of such a union to such a father would inherit?
5. Good! What's OK for PLO enemy is OK for this killer too!

8. Amir the murderer
Dore ,   Israel   (10.20.06)
He claims rights, what about those rights of Rabin? This abomination should not be allowed, imagine a world with offspring of this animal!!!!
9. Yigal Amir--is NOTHING compared to Rabin
The Truth ,   Arab occupied Israel   (10.20.06)
who has directly caused the death of thousands of jews through his leftist stupidity... lets not forget 2 things: 1) it was ILLEGAL under Israeli civil law to meet with terrorists, Especially those of the PA who were not even IN Israel. Rabin and Peres should have been arrested for talking to terroists. 2) Everyone knows that Yigal is innocent it was the Shin Bet who Killed Rabin, read the book "who killed Rabin" by Barry Hamish. ALso lets look at yigals name, interestingly.... "YIGAL" in english means "WILL REDEEM or SAVE" in the future tense. his surname AMIR in Hebrew is spelt "ayin mem yud raish" if you split the surname in half, the first half spells "AM" (the people/nation) and the second is the initials "YUD and RAISH" as in "Yitzchak Rabin" (YR) i.e..... "(HE) WILL REDEEM (SAVE) THE PEOPLE (NATION) FROM YITZHAK RABIN"..... interesting huh?
10. justice in history had its advantages......
Jack Klaber ,   Ramat Hasharon   (10.20.06)
by quartering/hanging/shooting/beheading justice did not have to address issues of fertility and conjugal questions.......
11. To No 9
Dore ,   Israel   (10.20.06)
You are absolutely right Amir is nothing if not an abomination/ And what is this business of taking a letter here and a letter there and making a word to suit your purposes, Is this some type of internet scrabble, doesn't have much to it, really dont bother with it it wont sell
12. MAZAL TOV!!! Very good news!!
Yehuda ,   ISRAEL   (10.20.06)
1) Happy for them! 2) Finaly this farce/mockery of a justice system has come to sences somewhat. 3) Very healthy to see all those two-faced hypocrits squirm and make idiots out of themselves every time they open their mouths. Small victory, but pleasant.
13. to DORE--It makes PERFECT SENSE
THE TRUTH ,   Arab occupied Israel   (10.20.06)
Dotn tell me you ACTUALLY beleive Yigal amir killed Rabin?! do you?! Hardly anyone in Israel actually beleives that anymore. It was the Shin bet and its a fact! if you take the time to actually work out the "letter" thing you will realise that his name isnt really Yigal Amir but was made into that name by the "powers that be" as a kind of lay on words... the real question you should be asking is..(instead of wasting your time insulting an innocent man)... how come peres and RABIN werent given life sentances for starting the "OSLO WAR" which was and still is illegal to talk or meet with terrorists?! what do you have to say to over a thousand Israeli families who have lost their loved ones DIRECTLY due to the lunacy and incometence of Rabin and his leftist Jew hating cohorts. Israel is a MUCH better place without him. They should free Yigal Amir as he was only a scapegoat. Dont be fooled by the left, they are VERY devious
14. Congratulations to Yigal!
Antonio ,   Haifa   (10.20.06)
Those of us who love this country and this land are with him. Olso criminals belong in jail, not patriots like our Yigal Amir. Victims of Olso: http://www.geocities.com/israeli_eyes/

16. It's about time.
Jon ,   NYC   (10.20.06)
Jewish Law and Israeli Law both are being served. Mazel Tov! Next Yigal should get Shabat and Chugim passes.
17. throw away the keys
Jackie ,   Judean Hills   (10.20.06)
I can't even understand why his name is mentioned--EVER!!! They should keep him and his trousers locked up and throw away the key. He doesn't deserve to see the light of day---EVER!!!
18. to Jackie,Judean Hills
THE TRUTH ,   Arab occupied Israel   (10.20.06)
dont be fooled by the left! Yigal Is innocent he never killed Rabin. See my previous talkbacks or refer to the book by Barry Hamish "who killed Rabin" for CONCLUSIVE proof that poor Yigal didnt do it. Dont be fooled Jacks the left are Liars. YIGAL IS INNOCENT
19. #17 Is Rabin's life more important than another Jews' life?
(10.20.06)
If they are equal, why do hundreds of terrorists who have killed Jews are freed after a couple of years. The arabs in our jails are given Red Cross baskets and benefits, outside communication and the rest, while Yigal gets nothing, you truly know how to wet the enemies appetite for Jewish blood.
20. #9
Michae ,   Haifa   (10.20.06)
Clearly the shrinks in the closed ward did not give #9 his electro-convulsive therapy today
21. Michael-#20- no need to be personally insulting
(10.20.06)
Just cos you might not agree with me doesnt mean you are allowed or entitled to insult me. like most ignorant leftists you just react irrationally by throwing insults. I suggest you read the book I suggested and realise that there maybe something in what i'm saying. Even if you disagree with what im saying (which is fine) dont lower yourself to petty leftist insults. ok micky
22. Is Ron Arad given the same courtesy?
(10.20.06)
23. I thought he only fires blanks
Jake   (10.20.06)
What would be the point of conjugal visits, then?
24. Sick, sick, sick....Amir should be put to death.
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.20.06)
25. don't do the crime if you can't do the celibacy!
Arie ,   Afula   (10.20.06)
26. hypocrisy of you idiots.
fish ,   tel-aviv   (10.20.06)
Those of you who say that justice is twsited by conjugal visits are badly wrong - according to the law he's allowed such visits, to deny these visits is to obstruct the justice - as this becomes a "one-man law" and this is the gross mockery of justice.It also concerns those who demand capital punishment for hi for killing a human being ( even a PM). I want to see you then demanding capital punishment for all terrorists who killed Israeli citizens and civilians and who have much better prison conditions than Amir - and they're not denied any rights! Also I'm amazed than none of the left-wing politicians who started the Oslo experiment which turned into the bloodbath for Israelis has ever been brought to justice, on the contrary likes of Beilin are still preaching their idiotic ideas to Israel.Put Beilin on trial and charge him with assistance to manaslaughter and griveous bodily harm, charge Barak with abandoning a wounded soldier under fire which resulted in his death, send to death all terrorists in Israeli jails. Live Amir alone - if he killed Rabin he's punished with all severity of the Israeli law.
27. Please.
Michael ,   Chicago USA   (10.23.06)
This is unbelieveable. I am proud of Israel and proud to be a Jew, but this guy deserves to be hung, not allowed to bring children into the world. This is emabarrassing that he would be allowed to enjoy anything the rest of his life. He is a murderer of a great man. What about the Rabin family.
28. unbiased TV channel
Marie ,   Vancouver, Washingto   (10.23.06)
Here it is - the most unbiased cable news reporting - Fox News Channel. If you can subscribe to it, please do so.
29. To all of you
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.29.06)
You are all getting worked up for nothing, really. Israel is facing much bigger challenges, much bigger threats than a husband and wife enjoying a romp in the hay. The biggest threat to Israel is the corruption of its government. I say good for them and leave it be.
