I hope she rots in Jail. She is just your common everyday thief. She deserves what she got. I on ly wish it was 10 years instead of three.
2. Umm!! if the head of community is thief, what about others?!
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.12.10)
In cases of this kind, if I'm a decision maker, I see that who must sent to prison, the victim, not the fraudster , why?! In order to make people more alert :) because good people don't like to go to prison, while those who engage in such heinous acts, any penalty will not deter them as the saying goes, the dog's tail is crooked even if we put it in hundred casts !! people's attention and vigilance, that will stop them !

5. Salma don't be a fool
Someguy ,   Israel   (07.12.10)
Salma, if every time a leader of a national group would make a crime that would mean something about the whole group, all humanity would be all sentenced to eternal hell but now (yes even you're beloved Palestinians don’t have wonderful leaders).
6. #1 and #2
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.12.10)
You're hasty to comment. Trumping up charges against Christians and Jews in the past wasn't uncommon in Islamic countries, where a Moslem's word was always taken against 'a dhimmi' in any dispute. Ever seen an Egyptian movie full of the twists and conspiracies? If her defense cited 'forged documents of the sale'...there was obviously no cash trail.... or such a claim would be ludicrous ..think about it... It's a surprisingly mild sentence for such a crime...something smells. If she's guilty, obviously she should do the time and if indeed has access to that kind of money...she'll have a pretty cushy bakshish-powered 3 years..albeit in confinement. To rot, Marco, is wishful hating
7. to #2 salma you and your wild ideas
ghostq   (07.12.10)
nobody like to go to prison it doesn't matter who, and you never raised a dog so how come you know about it, now you just chose random words and somehow make paragraph that logic only to you. you see salma Egypt got no democracy so every ethic rule doesn't count there it's usually come from above, there is no justic but than again in arab nations justic is very relative term.
8. #7 ghostq, many of wild ideas proved to be likely true
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.12.10)
In fact, my dog died ,she was smart even more than some human beings who i talk to, such as g.....q!!!
9. #1, Marco, you are a bunch of b.s.....
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (07.12.10)
and nothing more, my friend...
10. asking the Egyptian government to protect Jews
observer   (07.12.10)
but, if Egypt asks Israel to protect those already protected (by int'l law) occupied Palestinians, it's meddling in internal affair.
11. no jail to rot in
observer   (07.12.10)
it's a suspended sentence. Even, she can appeal to null the ruling.
12. Now Egypt will be called
GUH   (07.12.10)
anti-semitic, terrorist state, fascist, Nazi-like, and all the other names that usually are labelled when stuff like this happens. Oh and to Marco- congratulations to Spain on its World Cup win.
13. #1 Champions of terror
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.12.10)
Hey Marco, what ever happened to that Lebanese guy who embezzeled millions from Nasrallah? And what about all the spies and traitors Hezbollah arrests? Are they sentenced under Sharia Law or Lebanese law? Do you think Salma is the only one to notice your various aliases? Hasta luego!
14. I doubt it is true. Possible Set Up
EgyptianJewRefugee ,   Geneva, Switzerland   (07.17.10)
I know Ms Weinstein. I doubt it is true. She is 78 years old and sick. I think it is a Set Up to get rid of her. There are 10 Jews left in Egypt out of 80,000 who became Refugees. 40,000 fled to Israel.
