there is no humanitarian basis whatever to the request to be let out of prison for something like a brit milah. the kid will do just as well without his murderer father present.

A murderer and proud of it should not have the right even to be in the news . Nor visits. Why a son? to be educated in the same murderer way of thinking??? He si not a good jew.. maybe not a jew at all.

Many locals believe the office government story. But us folks with internet have seen the whole court case and videos online. We know the truth.

Rabin caused the deaths of many Jews in their own state due to his stupid Oslo Accords. Amir only killed one man who he believed to be a threat, who is the greater evil?

I can see why it is unwise to let him leave the prison but why forbid a bris in prison? The only kinds of places a Bris was forbidden were: concentration camps, or Russian Gulags? It is not a reward for Amir, it is allowing him to do a mitzvah which he is obligated in, do they deny him kosher food and the right to observe shabbos too? Do you think Rabin's Soul will be happy that another Jew was prevented from preforming a mitzvah? Is our prison system a Nazi concentration camp or a Communist Rrussian Gulag??????? Is our government made up of Nazis and Communists??????????

They are going to allow someone to enter the prison with a sharp object? He should never have been allowed to sire a child that the state will now be obligated to pay to support (just like any other child in Israel). And this is on top of paying for his upkeep for years. Someone should look at history or listen to "Killer Wants To Go To College" by Paul Simon to see how ludicrous it is that these convicted criminal get privileges as if they had done nothing wrong or even better than if they hadn't . Now someone else pays for his food, housing, child care and all he has to do all day is study - what kind of punishment is this?

Every other murderer gets all kinds of privilages, not this one. Yes what he did was terrible, he killed another human being. But he is entitled to NO less that murderers of others. The same laws for everyone is a true democracy.

Dear Yigal and Mrs. Amir, Blessings to you on the birth and brith of your beautiful and light-filled son. Much Mazel. A lot of Simcha and Much Naches. All the best to you!

What proof does anyone have - aside from the *media*?

Prove that he did. Where's the evidence?

And what would happen to a pregnant woman in prison? Would she be allowed to call a Mohel for Brit Mila, or should she be encourage for aborting? I fell like some of you lost their human face. I don't care if he's a murderer, this is a Mitzvah, and we have to right to forbid it. I also feel like there is a particular justice, specially intended to Ygal Amir. Any other prisoner would be treated better; for me, particular Justice means NO justice at all ! Whatever he did, you can't remove totally his hope, and he has to have new objectives in his life. Nobody has any right on his life; because it's exactly why he was condemned concerning Rabin's life. I'm really amazed to see he's denied things that would be allowed to palestinian killers. Even Barghouti is more hopeful for his future. What do you expect? Encouraging him to suicide? This would be considered as a murder. On the other hand, please remember his child is innocent, and and he deserves the same attention as any child: we must leave him in peace. Bris in prison? I don't know why it should e forbidden.

What is truly shocking is that other violent criminals are often let out of jail on "furloughs" only to commit more vilolent offences against innocent people.

One is full of unjustified vicious hate and the other one wants the truth to emerge. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3464974,00.html http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/124062

Is Amir a cold-blooded murderer or a hero of Israel? We do not know. Only the Almighty knows. Remember Aaron's son Phinehas killed a fellow Jew when Israel was deep in sin? Israel is deep in sin since Rabin, isn't she? The Bible says Phinehas turned away God's wrath from the sons of Israel: "When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he arose from the midst of the congregation and took a spear in his hand, and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and pierced both of them through "Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not destroy the sons of Israel in My jealousy." (Num. Chapter 25)

I accept that this is a news. What I dont understand is why its a need to make this as a news ? WE ARE RAPING HUMANITY HONOR. YES WE ARE. Lets remember ; 1. There is a murdered Human (PM). 2. There is a family of Him. 3. THERE ARE HIS SUPPORTERS AND LOVERS. These kind of news will make them SAD and will give wrong messages to youth. and no need to make bloody mentalities happy !

You wrote: 'On the other hand, please remember his child is innocent, and and he deserves the same attention as any child: we must leave him in peace.' Would you extend the same charity to Palestinian children? Or are they all murderers just by being born?

Why do you insist on bastardizing our beautiful language.

Compromise by giving Amir a second Bris. He's a despicable monster.

i) Look at all talkbacks: all Arabs are against Amir, all Jews are for Amir. Very interesting. ii) I think, now, I don't believe he killed Rabin. No evidence at all.

wouldn't it be ironic if they name the child Yitzhak and if the child's soul is a reincarnation(gilgul) of Rabin. In the kabbalistic works it states that souls are transmigrated, reincarnated back into this world to correct what they did not accomplish in the past life. picture rabin's soul being sent back as Yigal Amir's son to correct a Shabbat that he didn't keep while alive or a bracha that he didn't make when he ate etc.

The greatest danger is people like yourself

I cannot believe people are defending Yigal Amir. This monster shouldn't be allowed to breathe let alone give birth to a child. He admitted he killed Rabin so whoever is asking for proof, you've been living under a rock, obviously. Amir should die for what he did. He should have NO RIGHTS. LONG LIVE RABIN! P.S.-It disgusts me they're holding the bris on the anniversary. What a disgrace.

I make no difference between babies, and even the Quoran doesn't make it. Then, when they grow up, every child is innocent until he's educated to hatred by stupid parents. Do you mean israelis are baby killers? I don't like your question, and will not continue this discussion. By the way, I'm not racist but this is not the subject.

Do you really believe Yitzhaq Rabin was a saint? After all the innocent Jewish blood shed because of Olso?
