Jordanian MP praises soldier who killed Israeli schoolgirls

A Jordanian member of parliament has praised soldier Ahmed Daqamseh, who in 1997 shot dead seven Israeli schoolgirls, as a hero, i24news reported Thursday.

Dima Tahboub, a spokeswoman for the Islamic Action Front which is the political wing of Jordan’s branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, said Daqamseh was a hero because he was retaliating against Israel and the teenage girls were “enemies.”

Tahboub’s comments were made in an interview with British journalist Tim Sebastian, according to i24news.

Daqamseh was a soldier in the Jordanian army when he opened fire on a group of students who were visiting the “peace island” of Naharayim on March 13, 1997, as part of a class trip.

Naharayim is located right near the Jordanian border, and Daqamseh opened fire on the girls from the Jordanian side. He killed seven of the students, and wounded six others.

A military court ultimately deemed him mentally unstable and sentenced him to life in prison, which in Jordan typically means 25 years.

Daqamseh was freed from prison this past March and was given a hero’s welcome.

In the interview which aired on Thursday on Deutsche Welle’s “Conflict Zone”, Sebastian asked Tahboub, “You’re a mother. And you’re quite happy to have 13 and 14-year-old girls, just because they are Israelis, killed? Unprotected children, killed?”

“Because they are enemies, they are enemies,” responded Tahboub, adding, “They mocked the Jordanian people, they mocked our religion. A lot of 13 and 14-year-old Palestinians were killed, why don’t you defend them also?”

“A lot of the Jordanian people still view Daqamseh as a hero, because he retaliated against the mockery of the Israelis,” she continued, according to i24news.

I think these people who kill children and murder innocents on purpose, are our enemies, and should be killed. We’ll just use their rationale as they are slaughtered wholesale, that they are enemies, so it’s ok.

The kind of hatred that allows someone to open fire on unarmed children, and for others to call the person doing this a hero is not something you can fix at a negotiation table. Sadly, this type of hatefulness is now growing in America, and people like Kathy Griffin, Rosie O’Donnell, and Maxine Waters think it’s just fine.

No matter what you believe, eventually you have to do something about evil.

Until it strikes one of their own. They would probably blame it on the conservatives

The fact is that Israel is surrounded by muslims who would kill every Jew without hesitation if they thought they could get away with it. Since they can’t get away with it on a mass scale they have to settle for random, cowardly acts of murder against defenseless targets. That’s just the way it is.
