    Of course brother Obama would never criticize a fellow muslim, even for committing terror. But if this had been Israel who killed prisoners, he’d be up in arms condemning it!

    Simple enough then – just bring back capital punishment as legal in Israel & in the USA and that would solve all the problems then. Put all the palestinians prisoners through the justice system, put them on death row and then just execute them.

    They went through the justice system alright. Of course it was arab justice system where the verdict was ready before any hearing started, but when this justice is used against even more beastly arabs, I have no problem with it.

    Not every country uses the same social mores as us for measuring political correctness. No reason for Obama to apologize for Jordan, we should learn from them! We should do to the Moslems what we did to the Japanese during world war II. Round them up and ship them out
