Alleged Jewish terrorist: I know God is pleased

By Chaim Levinson and Nir Hasson, Haaretz Correspondents and DPA

The Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office on Thursday charged alleged Jewish terrorist Yaakov (Jack) Teitel with two murders, three attempted murders and other acts of violence.

"It was a pleasure and an honor to serve my God," said Teitel at the Jerusalem courthouse. "I have no regret and no doubt that God is pleased." snip

Teitel, 37, born in Florida but a resident of the northern West Bank settlement of Shvut Rahel since 1997, was arrested last month for suspected murder and for his alleged role in a string of attempted murder plots, according to details of an investigation revealed after a gag order on the case was lifted. snip

The indictment charges that Teitel smuggled a disassembled firearm into Israel from the United States in 1997 by placing it in a video player, and used that gun to murder taxi driver Samir Akram Balbisi in June of that year.

According to the indictment, in August 2007, Teitel murdered Issa Jabrin, a Palestinian shepherd from Susya, after which he fled Israel for three years.

The indictment also lists Teitel's efforts for more than a decade to harm Arabs, gays and lesbians, leftists, police officers and messianic Jews.

1. "I have no regret and no doubt that God is pleased."
Exactly what part of "Thou shalt not kill" does he not understand?

3. Does Mr. Teitel qualify as a "terrorist"?

6. Good. The idea that 'God is pleased' is in itself a childish personification.
Extending that to imagine that god is pleased with a murder of any sort is a special perspective.

7. "Oops. Forgot I call myself liberal. Visceral instinctive urge for death must be put aside for PC."

8. "Visceral instinctive urge for death". Murder is not simply death.
Death happens all the time in nature.

Killing someone for ideological beliefs is uniquely human. Presuming god would approve of it is supremely arrogant - and insane.
