his innocent wife and child live. Did they encourage him? NO. Did they pray that he would die a martyr? NO. Such a rush to judgment, you would think you were the LA Times or something.

in the next prisoners deal - he should get exactly the same treatment as Arab terrorist.

For a suicide bomber who acted with the alleged support of his family there is logic in destroying his/her home, but with someone who is standing trial and is expected to get a prison sentence what is the logic of punishing twice. Did Israel destroy Marwan Baghrouti's home?

you go fly a kite - live in Israel and talk or live in Brooklyn and mind your own business !!!!!

in the same way that some "Israelis" consider this baruch goldstein as a hero ? Are'nt arab terrorists houses demolished BEFORE they were judged ? A question

This deterrent was made a reality in order to persuade future Arab terrorists not to commit murder.... Arab Terror was occurring on a daily basis while the terrorist knew that Saddam was sending their family cash in return. The demolition was a way to counter this. In the case of Teitel...there is no pattern, nor is their concern for copycat crimes. He was a lone looney. If there was concern for more, we would be seeing road blocks and searches through Jewish cars. This is not the case, there is no danger for the future, therefore demolition will not be a deterrent, there is not a need for one.

I go to orthodox shuls three times a day, and I've barely heard the subject of Teitel mentioned, never mind condoned. You sound to me like a typical YNet "undercover" reporter - making up the story as you go along.

You must be new in Israel. There are plenty of people in Israel who rejoice in their hearts about this mans ,not yet proven crimes. A good example...Yigal Amir , has many supporters here.Observe closely , and you will discover many unpleasant surprises in Israeli society.On the bright side ,the good here far outshines the bad.

Although the word "terrorist" is used, Teitel and Arab terrorists are entirely different. Arab terrorists identify with political organizations and their terror attacks are part of a war to eliminate the state of Israel and exterminate the Jews. Assuming Teitel is guilty (which increasingly seems untrue) he was not acting to eliminate the state of Israel and he was not acting to promote genocide. In fact, even if he did murder someone, it is not clear what political aim he had.

Rest of that tb is spot on.

You are ALREADY condemning this man who has NOT YET been tried and you see the picture of the FANCY East Jerusalem house that has been "sealed" (part of it only) and certainly NOT demolished! Why doesn't anyone ask why that house has not been demolished? It is probably illegally built, too. Our spineless ball-less gov't has "sealed" it so when no one is looking, they will just UNSEAL it and this MASS murderer Arab's house will be just fine. Why don't you all use your heads before ranting?

Reading your with hate filled drivel based on stories without prove in an with hate filled media, your judgement will come your way. Pretending to be Liberal minded people who support justice, you are nothing but a lynch mob out for blood. As you wish for the destruction of a brothers home, so will your homes be demolished, by our common enemies.Your are brainwashed and have lost common sense and do not want justice, but revenge, for your failed secular Zionist idea that is in it self a demolishing force.

is loyal to us too. How rare and welcome you both are among so many of these Goldstone types.

Hey genius, I hate to break it to you but there's no reason to suspect he killed those cops. Even the police admit it. They're just trying to pin every thing they can on this guy.

I'll Huff And I'll Puff And I'll Blow Your House Down !!

that voted for oslo? How about destroying the houses of all those that side with the enemy? They are just as guilty of terrorism against the state. As a matter of fact even more than Yankle,if he is guilty. Did he admit yet to killing the arch duke Ferdinand?And for shooting Jesse James in the back?

YNET and the followers jump up and down to show the world how fair minded they are against their own. Maybe they should search their souls and see if something is wrong with the Israeli society for demonizing the nationalism without which there will be no Israel.

you pretty much proved my point. there are nuts in every society, but the question is if it's a few or the entire population.

If Teitel lives with his family or parents, and they were not part of his conspiracy to commit murder, the home must be stayed from demolition. It's the same rights we give Arabs - so why should Jews be treated any less?

As an Israeli and proud of it, I want to know that the law is the law. Equality before the law demands that the punishment be the same for all. If the law is that a terrorists house should be demolished, then that is the law for ALL terrorists, whether Arab, Christian or Jew.

What about the 16 year old boy in Ariel who came home to a disguised Purim bomb. If this guy is innocent, then may it be proven by God, but if he is guilty then justice says he should pay for 'his' hatred...its not just Muslims, he hurt Jews with different religious outlooks.

How many homes of Arab terrorists were demolished the same day or week as their heinous action? Almost none! The investigators, despite public push to punish the terrorist, goes through great pains to get court backing and see who was involved in the act. The outcome of whether to destroy a home or not depends on pre-meditiation, motive (nationalistic vs. crazy unemployed), and the accomplices. Many times it was found that the Arab acted alone without knowledge from the family - ergo, the house was spared, and the Arab was thrown in jail. Do Jews not deserve the same rights as those who conspire to kill us? I thought sick Leftists existed inside Tel Aviv proper.

The point of home-razing is to punish someone who murdered himself along with other victims, in order to discourage such behavior when the family receives honor and money in celebration of the crime. None of these factors apply here. Of course justice should be equal and of course his home should not be razed

With the quantity of arms found in his home it's difficult to make me believe that his family was unaware of his "activities" . That's one He acted out of fanatic ideological & religious "beliefs" . That's two He acted alone ? That's possible , but has to be checked very well by police . Regarding the demolition of arab terrorists's homes , i'll try to find it out , from objective sources .

Only vague talk of homosexuals, and Muslims being victimized. What about the 16 year old Messianic Jew from Ariel who was blown up by hate monger Teitel?
