31. Child killers are called heroes
AL QUDS ALYAHUDI ,   QUDS HAKA ALYAHUD   (04.12.13)
What can you expect from Pere Adam. Our Torah says the truth.
32. #25 Baruch Goldstein
Dmitry ,   Israel   (04.12.13)
Nice moral equivalence try. But last time I checked, Goldstein cheerleaders are not the elite of the society in Israel (that would be industrialists and high-tech people and not a bunch of right wing nuts), and 110 of them don't sit in the Knesset and sign bills supporting early release of murdering Arab (or Jewish as the case may be) neo-Nazis. Moral equivalence try... fail.

Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (04.12.13)
Dear brother. The refered event was hateful and shameful, a lot. I am sad and deceived about Jordan's politicians. I fully agree with your comment. God bless you and all Israeli people.

George Weiss ,   Teaneck, USA   (04.12.13)
The atatistics you cite are true of many dominantly Islamic countries, not just Jordan.
35. Summon the Jordanian Ambassador
Summon the Jordanian ,   Summon the Jordanian   (04.12.13)
Israel, in response to this vote, which was hosted in the Jordanian parliament in which 110 MPs voted in favor of his release, you should summon the Jordanian ambassador to Israel for this audacious insult.
36. #25: You don't get it
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ USA   (04.12.13)
Can you tell me if the Knesset ever put forth a motion to honor Baruch Goldstein as a hero for killing so many in the mosque? Obviously, you can't because Goldstein is considered to be a murderer who at best was mentally ill. His admirers are a fringe group and have nothing to do with the Israeli government. This Jordanian situation is different as a motion was brought up in their parliament and half of the representatives voted for it. Imagine 50% of their leaders consider a monster who guns down innocent schoolgirls to be a hero. so you see, whatever your nameis, to bring up Goldstein as a comparison is invalid and only a shallow thinker or a non-thinker would compare the 2.
37. Time to kick Jordan out of the UN?
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.12.13)
If the lawmakers of a country support the murder of little girls, maybe the world does not need such a country.
38. Parliament
Jordanian   (04.12.13)
The parliament wages are low, so usually successful and educated Jordanians don't run for the parliament. The educated voice of Jordan is represented by the King and Prime Minster so most educated Jordanians don't feel the need to run for office to have their voice heard because then King is doing a fairly good job. Thanks
39. These islamic followers must..
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.12.13)
..recognized as followers of Hagar, the slave-woman that has come to be the mother of all islamic followers. Then quote" ..to live by the sword, and to die for the sword..." With those words in mind, we have to realize their the islamic followers obvious by religion would have no respect for humanity, human life. At last not a terrorist,..
40. Release of Killer
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (04.12.13)
Great idea...just let the parents of the slain girls, RIP, know when and where he will be released. I'm sure he will have a very warm reception from them!

Felicia   (04.12.13)
peace with these heroes.
42. Release him
Abu Zibby ,   Haifa, IL   (04.12.13)
Jail is too good for this scum. They should release him to "freedom" where he will find his untimely demise.
43. the israeli settlers who shot the school girl was free at th
Hasan ,   Gaza   (04.12.13)
Intissar al-Atar, was shot and killed in a schoolyard by a resident of a nearby Jewish settlement. He was one of the several thousand Israelis settlers brought to Gaza in violation of international law and protected by a huge army presence, taking over much of the land and scarce water of the Strip and living “lavishly in twenty-two settlements in the midst of 1.4 million destitute Palestinians,” as the crime is described by Israeli scholar Avi Raz. The murderer of the schoolgirl, Shimon Yifrah, was arrested, but quickly released on bail when the Court determined that “the offense is not severe enough” to warrant detention. The judge commented that Yifrah only intended to shock the girl by firing his gun at her in a schoolyard, not to kill her, so “this is not a case of a criminal person who has to be punished, deterred, and taught a lesson by imprisoning him.” Yifrah was given a 7-month suspended sentence, while settlers in the courtroom broke out in song and dance. And the usual silence reigned. After all, it is routine.
44. King Hussein
gaby ,   Jerualem   (04.12.13)
Thelate King Hussein was such a gentleman and a man of his word. What happened to his son Abdallah and members of parliament? A bunch of parrots who repeat slogans and have no honor or self respect. Of course the shooter should rot in jail
45. #5
Jordan Ariel ,   USA   (04.12.13)
Teitel should remain where he is. Not only did he kill Arabs (which was wrong, as they were innocent to my knowledge) but he also killed Jews. Let him rot.
46. If a Jew killed an Arab..... hmmm
(04.12.13)
As it so happens, Jack tietel " Jewish terrorist" did just that!!! No monument though, Just Jail! 2 life sentences!
47. Little Girl Murderer Hero
Jordan Ariel ,   USA   (04.12.13)
And this is a hero? He didnt cure cancer, he didnt discover a cheap source of renewable energy, he didnt save the environment.... he just killed some little girls. Oh wait... they bothered him during prayer? The Hero still killed little girls. He is in the farthest category from a man, or a human being as possible.
48. solution
DavidR ,   USA   (04.12.13)
The moment he is freed, send Mossad!
49. Are you really surprised?
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (04.12.13)
Arabs hate you. They hate you for a pretty good reason. You declared your living space as more valueable than their lives. Do you know how many of them were killed for your Zionist Dream? So they really intend to anihilate you. And I understand them.
50. #29 Representing
Get Real ,   UK   (04.12.13)
Nearly half of Jordan's population is Palestinian.

(04.12.13)
are you saying that your government is full of idiots and unintelligent people? no wonder your country is in the state it is in.
52. hit fund for released terrorists?
david ,   new york   (04.12.13)
shouldnt israel put a bounty on someone knocking off these released terrorists (including those released for gilad shalit). maybe they will be knocked off and maybe not, but let them at least sweat it.
53. Disgusting!
Ed ,   USA   (04.12.13)
This does not bode well for peace persisting between Jordan and Israel. A country that cannot recognize moral depravity when it exists in its own citizens is not a country that is capable of honoring a peace agreement.
54. #43 you Hasan copy/ paste...
Beer ,   Germany   (04.12.13)
...the article of Noam Homsky, that have the same level of credibility as Yasser Arafat or Hassan Nasrallah. But what is YOUR point then? You against the release of murderers, right?
55. Jarda #49
Barry ,   Tokyo   (04.12.13)
Yes, we know hoe many Arabs were taken out by the IDF, defending their cities and civilians each time - around 32,000 since the war of Independence 65 years ago. That´s less than half of the number of mostly civilians that has been butchered in Syria over the past two years. Multiply this with 22 other Arab nations that have been killing eachother ever since eternity. You´ll see why Arabs need to hate Israel so that they don´t have to hate themselves.
56. This is the face of the people with whom we are being told
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.12.13)
peace is possible, if only we lowered our guards. Nonsense!! If leaders of a country with which Israel has had a peace treaty act like this toward the value of the lives of seven school girls, imagine how much the value the lives of the rest of us, Jews: "0"!!
57. #49: I have a dream...
Beer ,   Germany   (04.12.13)
Seem that Annihilation of Jews is a dream of you. Though it will be never accomplihed, this dream is much older and much more counterproductive than Zionist one. "Pretty good reasons" also drive fellow Muslims to kill each other in high numbers. Daily.
58. #54 mr beer
Rau   (04.13.13)
I m sure #43 is not against the release of murderer. He's just trying to tell you and the likes that nobody is above the law, be it the Arabs or Jews. Crime of this magnitude deserve severe punishment, no matter who or where you are.
59. Sick people that call a girls killer a hero.
Jozek ,   Wroclaw, Poland   (04.13.13)

Expat ,   Adelaide   (04.13.13)
1. It was the Arabs who did not accept the Partition Plan in 1948, whereby Jews and Arabs would live peacefully side by side. Instead they declared war on the Jews, vowing to throw them to the sea. They lost. So now the crybabies resort to bitching and moaning. 2. In Syria, Iraq, and the 20+ other Arab countries, tens of thousands of Arabs die at the hands of fellow Arabs EACH YEAR. That's hundreds of times greater than the Arabs killed "by your Zionist Dream". And yet all your energy is spent on vilifying Israel, for you Israel is the root cause of evil in the world. This makes you a lame hypocrite. 3. Most of the Arabs killed "by your Zionist Dream" were Arabs who wanted to kill the Zionist Dream. Very simple. 4. Israel is only about 20000 square kilometers, hardly a speck in the world map. In this tiny speck, 6 millions of Jews live today. Arab / Muslim countries, on the other hand, span many millions of square kilometers, with plenty of room for everybody. And yet, the Arabs MUST have that tiny speck of land. 5. So you understand and sympathize with a murderer of school girls. Pretty much sums up the kind of person that you are.
