Maybe the kid was throwing rocks and needed to be restrained.
Samuel is drunk with political correctness. The Palestinians have their day every day. It's called Nakba.
I wonder if the Presbyterian Church will divest from companies doing business with Boko Haram or from those countries financing this group.?
Well the Presbyterians approved of gay marriage so it did invest in K Y Jelly.
15 year olds can be murderers too. These kids throw to kill.
This is exactly what happens in Israel when it releases hundreds of cutthroats for a single kidnapped soldier. Not only that, the Arabs activiely try to kidnap others to be bargaining chips to get more killers released. The other issue about the Taliban is that it is run by the Pakistani intelligence service as a group to control Afghanistan. As long as the U.S. tiptoes around Pakistan, the Taliban with or without the released terrorists will exert control there.
Regarding the comment from Epikoros, Abbas condemned violence by both sides yet treated the released murderers as heroes and awarded them comfortable pensions. Abbas even named some streets and buildings after these murderers, How can one condemn the act but praise the perpetrator? Isn't there a little hypocrisy going on here? As for Epikoros' statement that Abbas uses the pen and not the gun, what kind of pen did he use when he helped plan the massacre of Israeli athletes in Munich?
Abbas's dissertation when he was a student at Patrice Lumumba university in Moscow was how the Zionists colluded with the Nazis to kill 6 million Jews so as to gather sympathy for a Jewish state in the Middle East. And now this grotesque Jew hater is expressing sympathy for Holocaust victims?
What is a tragedy is that hardly anyone in the Muslim community is open to discussing the reformation of their ideology that is sadly out of date by western standards of justice and fairness. Muslim support organizations seemingly in thrall to the most radical elements of their faith have been successful at stifling criticism. Considering the hard wired Jew hated in Islam, it is grotesque that left wing Jews and the media that panders to them such as the Forward, actually enables this censorship on the basis of freedom of religion. What freedom of religion is radical Islam giving Christians in the Middle East? What freedom of religion is radical Islam giving Jews when they call us sons of apes and pigs? What freedom is radical Islam giving women? Hirsi Ali is a unique and brilliant voice trying to shed a light on Islamic religious abuses. The Forward and Brandeis should be the first to give her a platform. Sadly, courage has deserted both of these institutions.
There was a time when fundamentalist Christians boycotted Disney movies because his nature films talked about mother nature not God.
