Jordanian Law Permits the Murder of Jews Inside Israel

The sanction of religious doctrines and ideologies that call for hatred, bigotry and genocide fuels not just the war on the Jewish state, but the horror suffered today in a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

This from Jordan, considered the most “moderate” of the Middle Eastern Muslim countries.

Jordanian Law Permits the Murder of Israelis

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 988, October 26, 2018

Story continues below advertisement

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Jordanian soldier Ahmad Musa Dakasma, the notorious murderer of seven Israeli schoolgirls, was recently released from prison after serving 20 years. His name is back in the headlines following a series of posts he wrote recently encouraging the murder of Jews inside Israel. Dakasma claims that such incitement is consistent with Jordanian law, citing an addition to the State Security Law of 2013. Israel should demand that Jordan immediately abolish this addition to the law and stop Dakasma from inciting the murder of Jews.

Jordanian soldier Ahmad Mussa Dakasma, the murderer of seven Israeli schoolgirls in Naharayim on March 13, 1997, was released from prison in March 2017 after serving only 20 years for the heinous massacre. Many Israelis well remember the kneeling of King Hussein during his visit to the families of the murdered.

If you thought the liberated murderer had repented, or at least come to regret his actions, you are wrong. Dakasma’s name has been in the headlines again in recent days after he wrote a series of posts inciting the murder of Jews and encouraging people to carry out attacks inside Israel.

On October 2, he posted this on Facebook: “Every time I’m sad I remember that I murdered a few Zionists [the Israeli girls], and then I feel calm and my conscience is quiet, and sadness leaves me.” The post was removed following many requests from Israelis. On the same day, he wrote in another post: “Anyone who calls for resistance and can enter Israeli territory even as a tourist – and does not carry out an attack against the Zionists – is just a talker.” This post has not been removed, despite complaints. In another post that was removed, the terrorist called for the murder of Israeli children on the grounds that when they grow up they will serve as security guards.

On October 5, Dakasma distributed a video in which he claimed, among other things, that although his Facebook account had been temporarily closed, he was not afraid and would continue to incite the murder of Israelis. He added that he is willing to kill more Israelis himself. The video is still on his Facebook page. In view of the harsh criticism Facebook has received of late, it is puzzling that its management does not remove this incitement to murder.

Following the uproar on social networks over Dakasma’s activity, the murderer told a Jordanian news website, Khaberni, that he was acting according to Jordanian law. He apparently based this assertion on an addition to the State Security Act of 2013 that was passed in the Jordanian parliament and the Senate. The addition removes from the definition of “terrorist” anyone who fights against the “Zionist occupation.” According to this section, activity against the “Zionist occupation” is not defined as a crime. As Jordanian Prime Minister Abdullah Nusur explained, the occupation is a crime and the struggle against it is a right.

This law permits the murder of Jews and Israelis to go without punishment if it is proven to be part of the “struggle against the occupation.” This Jordanian policy bore fruit very quickly. On May 13, 2017, a Jordanian citizen carried out an attack in Jerusalem in which an Israeli policeman was stabbed and severely wounded. The terrorist was shot and killed. After the incident, the Jordanian government attacked Israel. Jordanian Information Minister Muhammad Muamni said, “the Israeli government, as the force responsible for the occupation, bears responsibility for the shooting of the Jordanian citizen.”

An ordinary Israeli citizen who is not exposed to the Arab media might wonder why there is tension between the two peoples. The hostility exists because Jordan plays a double game. On the one hand, it enjoys the fruits of peace, and on the other, it is quick to accuse, criticize, and otherwise target Israel. One example is the submission of a proposal to UNESCO in October 2016 to declare the Temple Mount and the Western Wall exclusively Islamic holy sites.

Israel should demand that Jordan immediately abolish the addition to the law and insist that the Jordanian authorities stop Dakasma from inciting further violence. The cold peace with Egypt became the model for peace relations between Israel and the Arab states. Israel erred in adopting this model, as it is characterized by the kind of rank hypocrisy that results in the empowerment of terrorists like Dakasma.

Regional Muslims getting 80% of the original Palestine mandate (renamed Jordan) isn’t enough for them.

GREEDY BASTARDS.

Same for Gaza. It will never be enough. Even if there were no more Jews, Christians and other infidels, the Muslims would go after each other.

You should hang murderers, rapist and kidnappers. But it just makes too much common sense, right? Both from an ethical and monetary one.

Nobody will have that. How dare you propose something that makes sense. HOW DARE YOU???

The quote about Israel from Jordan’s “Information Minister” says it all! Jordanian Information Minister Muhammad Muamni said, “the Israeli government, as the force responsible for the occupation, bears responsibility for the shooting of the Jordanian citizen.” Followers of the “Religion of Peace” can’t abide real peace but kill with joy like this featured guy, Dakasma whose country would deny Israel its national existence and in effect kill Israel which from my viewpoint is a declaration of war against Israelis!
IT REALLY ISN’T A PHOBIA IF ISLAM ENCOURAGES ITS FOLLOWERS TO KILL YOU WHICH IT DOES and those threatened fear it! Taking down Facebook posts isn’t the answer but kidnapping Dakasma & trying him in Israel for his self-acknowledged crimes like Eichmann would at least give some closure with an additional life sentence to Dakasma’s journalism career from an Israeli prison where he can’t get WiFi!

Fact is Israel props up this regime. Without Israel they’d be in the dustbin.
