So what's the purpose of the theater? To recruit new terrorists? Pardon my cynicism, but the facts as stated in the article itself pulls the rug out from under any hope that the theater might promote peace and understanding: "As a child he was a founder-member of a children's theater group run by an Israeli woman seeking to promote Jewish-Arab coexistence. As he grew up, he became a gunman" Is this what we have to look forward to from his theater graduates?

This is a step forward. Dont hate on him...

Child molesting place.. I meant their brain.. But, who knows.....

In any normal place on earth, he would be tried, and put to jail for life, or put to death. Imagine if someone organized the murders of several Brits, or Frenchman, or Americans and then decided to reform his ways..... And the kicker is that Ynet puts this under "culture" - Totally ashamed. Totally on its face.

Why does the Associated Press refer to him as the "famed" commander? The appropriate term to describe this scumbag isn't famed...it's infamous.

peace would have broken out 20, 40, 60 years ago, and these children would no longer need to be distracted from THE OCCUPATION. Israel perpetuates the conflict by not choosing to relinquish to the Palestinians total control over their own lives. The 'situation' has merely gotten progressively worse, more oppressive of the Palestinians over the years, which has resulted in their upping the violence in response to greater oppression and more and more settlements, land confiscations, death will not resolve the conflict but perpetuate and enhance it.

It is sad to see how radical the feedbacks are. This story is a living example that only negotiations and political solutions will end the conflict. readers who posted a talkback failed to see that instead of shooting at israelis he decided to do something positive in his community, get children off the streets and give them some hope for a better future...

If I were Palestinian, I wouldn't want my kids anywhere near him.

killers should be hunted down and either sent to paradise or captured and tried

Watch the Israeli movie " Arna'a Children" . He was featured in the movie as a kid, he used to act in the theater himself, until he was consumed and transformed with his friends by this awful conflict. look for the dazed look on one of the kids face when he is sitting on the rubble of his demolished house. that true-life shot is worth a thousand words, and shows you why this conflict is so violent...

#8 jack: There are millions of palestinians that might (who knows ??)accomodate Israel : but for the thousands of pals, Ham, Hiz,...more. These TERRORISTS murder Israeli civilians: Jews and even occasionally Israeli Arabs. When the pals are "upping the violence" due to Israeli non-violent action (say, .. building settlements ) ....Israel can stop the pal violence only by striking militarily. The Middle East is a little different from " richmond, va, us ". Middle East 'cultural norm' is: destroy the weak ! Exaggerate , lie, make peace ...in order to re-arm ! If innocents must suffer : Better them than us ! moshe Israel

#13 is correct, you don't understand b/c you've been born and bred in the USA. spend some time in Israel and you'll quickly learn that your values are inapplicable, your morals will only lead you to even greater confusion, hence the lack of patience most Israeli's have for people like you. A totally foreign and unfamiliar existence to you, seen only in movies. The only reason you see it in your news is b/c Israel, like the USA is an OPEN Society, so you can be free to judge. But don't mistake the similarities b/c we're both democracy's, if the USA was faced with the problems Israel faces, how do you think our democracy here in the USA would approach them? I assure you, the rubber gloves would have been removed long ago.

La Bomba

a reformed terrorist.

In Spain, ETA continues its terrorist attacks in an attempt to "free the Basque country." Almost nobody supports them. In Turkey, the PKK continues its terrorist attacks in order to "free Kurdistan from Turkey". Almost nobody supports them. In Kashmir, terror attacks continue in order to "free Kashmir from India". Almost nobody supports them. In Sri Lanka, terror attacks continue in order to "free the tamils from Sri Lanka." Almost nobody supports them. Morocco continues to occupy Western Sahara. Nobody cares. China continues to occupy Tibet. Nobody cares. Iran continues to occupy UAE islands. Nobody cares. Syria continues to occupy miles of Lebanese land (aside from Hizballah). Nobody cares. Sudan continues its genocidal activities in Darfur. Nobody does anything about it. In almost any other place, terrorist attacks would be condemned as terrorist attacks and the world, including Arabs/Muslims/leftists, would seek peaceful diplomatic solutions to occupations rather than encouraging suicide attacks by children and spewing the worst rabble-rousing hate-filled propaganda. Why is it that Israel is singled out for this by the "do-gooders" of the world? Why is it that the PALESTINIANS are singled out for this endless nightmare by their Arab and Muslim "brothers" and by the leftists of the world? Do you/they truly despise the Palestinians that much?

The poor shcmuck...hehe.....when the Wash.Post found out about their affair,they assigned her to Europe,and the Zub-Aidy fellow was left to wank ,just like all the rest of the glorified Shabab......hehe....GUESS WHAT.... Now this future Shaheed can claim 72 virgins,and ONE NOT SO Virgin,made in America. Theater of the Absurd.

Ask Tally Fahima about him..she is acquainted with his brighter side you self-rightous Israelis !

''The children,'' he said. ''If they weren't in here, they'd be on the streets.'' If the children weren't there he wouldn't have a place to hide in plain sight. Boy I didn't realize how naive YNET reallty was.

"parents in the deeply conservative refugee camp will not approve of their daughters being physically close to boys" yet the Quran promises the brave "homicide bombers" boys and girls virgins to enjoy throughout their after life. Raping kids in Heaven as a payment for murdering other kids in the "real" life is something that comes a long way to explain the Muslim attitude to life and everything else. In a society where one sin is rewarded by an equally despicable sin one cannot expect anything good to come out of it. I really hope that this "Freedom Theatre" will bring a message of Peace and eliminate the murderous indoctrination of young minds. Sadly, past experience shows however that the chances of this "startup" to bering anything good are non-existent. It will certainly turn into yet another place where kids glorify death, praise murder of innocents on the Islam altar and destroy any hope for a better future for themselves and their society.

And to which exactly "brighter side" are you refering to, you naughty "pal girl"? But if you say so, it just makes sense that Tally F. has been "acquainted with his brighter side". We cannot explain her treason and self-hating attitude otherwise. You may want to explain one thing though - how come his "brighter side" is right next to the side where "Sun don't shine"? LOL!

and COMING SOON cirque du soleil .....kaboom

Farfour's tragically short antisemitic strut on the stage of this world was abbreviated, as we all know, by Zionist assassins. It would be fitting to do a show to remember him along with other left-wing antisemitic and communist heroes living and dead such as MLK, Farrakhan, Hussein Obama, Yassir Arafat and Bishop Tutu the Terrible.
