Can anyone imagine an arab's family saying this? Jews are merciful people in general - we grieve for the victims, including his family.

I give them my full respect .This lunatic says God is proud of him.If this is what these Jewish extremist believe,then the Jewish people are in trouble.Israel is a democracy and we do have freedom of speech.But you dont go around killing people in the name of God.

Just another deragned lunatic that kills others in the name of religion . That smurk will soon be whiped off his face when he will spend the rest of his days behind bars, and will never get to see his children grow up. i hope every day feels like a year.

This statement was said on purpose for him not to be convicted under murder rather than insanity. But no, i disagree, i think he had these intentions and he is quite aware of it, further more, most of the IDF, which you claim to be a moral army, has the same ideology.

But what's the family's excuse for him committing crimes that are absolutely forbidden in Judaism? Like so many loud mouthed religious - he likes to THINK he's a Jew - he isn't - he's garbage.

i see you don't offer proof to the contrary. you show your ignorance of how things work in israel. you seem to be guilty of "projection" since your comments seem to reflect your own cultural responses to similar situations. if you were honest, you'd admit that teitel's actions are EXACTLY those of islamic terrorists: -targeting civilians -placing explosives and fleeing -doing it in the name of their god -no remorse all of which is the exact opposite of how the IDF operates (the facts despite what anti-israel propaganda says). face it, you can't prove #1 wrong because it is the truth.

Not believing in G-d should give you excellent insight into the Torah as a novel. If you think G-d doesn't go around murdering people you should give the Torah a good read. G-d kills or orders killings constantly. This of course has nothing to do with Teitel who is essentially a lunatic in need of incarceration...with many Palestinian Jihadists.

This man most certainly wasn't disturbed. His actions showed malice, intent,forethought. Also he might not of thought his actions wrong but he knew they were illegal. He isn't a terrorist or a lunatic. He is a serial killer guilty of murder in the first degree. I hope he rots in jail.

Yaakov Teitel. 'God is proud of me WHAT A SHAME TO ISRAEL. IF INDEED THE ISRAELI STATE, DID CONDUCT THE WILL OF JEHOWAH ACCORDING TO HIS WORDS, SUCH THINGS AS THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. TO THE SHAME OF THE ISRAELI STATE AND NATION, JEHOWAH IS EVEN MIGHTY, TO RISE UP THE EVIL ONE, TO THE BENEFIT OF JEHOWAH, AND THE SHAME OF ISRAEL. OF COURSE, WITHOUT THE FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THIS, IN THE EVIL ONE. Arn-Orao.

This is not an appropriate use of the English word "messianic." All the major religions have messianic figures and messianic beliefs. This is a Christian missionary family. The father is a minister of a church, so is it really too much for Ynet to report accurately?

If that is a photo of Teitel's wife coming down the court hallway, she sure doesn't look like a woman who has received some of the most devastating revelations of her husband's activities that a wife could possibly learn. None of the stress or anxiety that is being claimed, or that one could reasonably expect to etch her face.

Let the Shin Bet present their evidence and hope for an honest verdict. There are scum in Israel who want to release bargooti who luxuriated in killing 5 Jews and he sits in prison leading the good life waiting to be ransomed. Why all of a sudden is there so much pressure on one ACCUSED man, when over 10,000 CONVICTED terrorists sit in jail?

It's the relative who is a disturbed fool.

ISRAEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A DEMOCRACY GUVNOR.

jewish religious extremist s.They will find a way to get him out of the jail ASAP. They are a powerful political and on the ground movement. Of course he and his wife will laugh because they know in advance what the back up they have.

i didn't know this family is missionary. how do you know?

Perhaps she's in such deep shock that she can't figure out what emotion to display and because by nature she's a happy person she went with a smile. But she has a problem if her husband goes with the insanity defense correct me if I am wrong but isn't she stuck as his aguna? Personally I bet she encouraged him!

DISTURBED ,now if that aint a case of pot calling the kettle black I do not know what is.

gives these missionaries a small victory. However, irrespective of what their religious beliefs are the is NO JUSTIFICATION for hurting them by sending them a bomb! If charges against Teitel are correct he is a sinner because he thinks he has the right to take life!

Jews who believe in Yeshua (Jesus) see their faith in the Messiah of Israel as instrinsically Jewish. Although some might like to discredit Messianic Jews, strip their Jewisness from them resort to derogatory name-calling, Messianic Jews have the right to define themselves on their own terms and affirm their Jewish identity.
