Turkish: İngilizce Dedin

İngiliz diline ve 'çevrilebilecek' mizahi bir bakış! Kabul edelim - İngilizce çılgın bir dil. Patlıcanta yumurta ya da hamburgerde jambon yok; ne elma, ne de ananasta çam. İngiliz kekleri İngiltere'de icat edilmedi ya da Fransa'da patates kızartması yapıldı. Tatlı etler şekerdir, tatlı olmayan tatlılar etdir.

İngilizceyi onay için alıyoruz. Ancak paradokslarını keşfedersek, bataklığın yavaş çalışabileceğini, boks halkalarının kare olduğunu ve bir gine domuzunun ne Gine'den ne de domuz olduğunu görüyoruz. Ve neden yazarlar yazıyor ama parmaklar parmak değil, manavlar bakmıyor ve çekiçler jambon değil mi? Eğer çoğul diş diş ise, neden çoğul kabarık böcek değil? Bir kaz, 2 kaz. Yani bir geyik, 2 meese? Bir endeks, 2 endeks? Tadilat yapabilmeniz çılgınca görünmüyor, ancak bir değişiklik yapmıyor, tarihin yıllarını birleştiriyorsunuz ama tek bir yıl geçirmiyorsunuz? Bir sürü şansın ve sonun varsa ve onlardan biri hariç hepsinden kurtulursan, buna ne diyorsun?

Eğer öğretmenler öğrettiyse, neden vaiz vermedi? Bir vejetaryen sebze yerse, bir insancıl ne yer? Bir mektup yazdıysan, belki dilini ısırdın? Bazen bütün İngilizce konuşanların sözlü deliler için anasyluma bağlı olmaları gerektiğini düşünüyorum. Hangi dilde insanlar bir resitalde oyun oynar ve oynarlar? Kamyon ile gemi ve gemi ile kargo göndermek? Burun akan ve kokan ayakların var mı? Garajda park etmek ve parkurlarda sürmek?

Akıllı bir adam ve akıllı bir adam zıtken, zayıf bir şans ve şişman bir şans nasıl aynı olabilir? Birçoğu ve tamamen birkaçı birbirine benzerken, nasıl göz ardı edip denetleyebiliyorsunuz? Bir gün cehennem gibi sıcak, bir cehennem gibi soğuk hava nasıl olabilir? Sadece yokken bazı şeyler hakkında konuştuğumuzu fark ettiniz mi? Hiç at arabası ya da askılı bir elbise gördünüz mü? Şarkı söylenmiş bir kahramanla mı tanıştınız, yoksa gerekli aşk yaşadı mı? Hiç birleşik, homurdanan, hükmeden ya da kusursuz biriyle karşılaştınız mı?

Evinizin yanarken yanabileceği, doldurarak bir form dolduracağınız ve içinde bir alarm saatinin sürdüğü bir dilin eşsiz çılgınlığına hayran kalmalısınız. İngilizce, bilgisayarlar tarafından değil insanlar tarafından icat edildi ve insan ırkının yaratıcılığını yansıtıyor (ki bu elbette hiç yarış değil). Bu yüzden, yıldızlar dışarıdayken, görünürler, fakat ışıklar dışarıdayken görünmezdir. Ve neden, saatimi kapattığımda başlıyorum, ama bu makaleyi çıkardığımda bitiriyorum?

Her zaman olduğu gibi, hayattan zevk al ve güvende ol!

Ukrainian: Ви говорите англійською

Гумористичний погляд на англійську мову і спосіб її перекладу! Подивимося, що англійська - це божевільна мова. У баклажанах немає ні яйця, ні шинки в гамбургері; ні яблука, ні сосни в ананасі. Англійські кекси не були придумані в Англії або французькою картоплею у Франції. Солодкі цукерки - це цукерки, а солодкі цукерки, які не солодкі, - це м'ясо.

Ми приймаємо англійську як належне. Але якщо ми досліджуємо його парадокси, ми виявляємо, що пташиний пісок може працювати повільно, боксерські кільця є квадратними, а морська свинка не є ні з Гвінеї, ані це свиня. Та чому це що письменники пишуть але пальці don''t fing, grocers don''t groce та молотки don''t шинка? Якщо у множині зубів є зуби, чому це не так? Один гусак, 2 гусаки. Так один лось, 2 meese? Один індекс, 2 індекси? Хіба це не здається божевільним, що ви можете виправити, але не змінити, що ви розчісуєте літопису історії, а не жодного літопису? Якщо у вас є купа шансів і кінців і позбутися від всіх, крім одного з них, що ви це називаєте?

Якщо вчителі навчали, чому не проповідував проповідник? Якщо вегетаріанці харчуються овочами, то що їсть гуманітар? Якщо ви написали листа, можливо, ви мовчите мовою? Іноді мені здається, що всі викладачі англійської мови повинні бути зобов'язані надавати притулок для вербального розуму. На якій мові люди читають у грі і грають на концерті? Відправляйте вантажівкою і відправляйте вантаж кораблем? Чи є носи, які біжать і ноги, що пахнуть? Парк на під'їзних шляхах і їздити на бульварах?

Як може бути незначний шанс і жирний шанс, коли мудрий і мудрий хлопець протилежні? Як можна не помітити і наглядати за протилежностями, а чимало і чимало однакових? Як може погода бути гаряча як пекло один день та холодний як пекло інший? Ви помітили, що ми говоримо про певні речі тільки тоді, коли вони відсутні? Чи бачили ви колись каретку або страпонну сукню? Зустріли співаного героя або досвідченого любимої людини? Ви коли-небудь зіштовхувалися з людиною, яка була комботульована, зорювалася, рулювалася чи гналася?

Ви повинні дивуватися унікальній безглуздям мови, в якому ваш будинок може спалюватися, як він згорає, в якому ви заповнюєте форму, заповнюючи її і в якій будильник виходить, продовжуючи. Англійська мова була винайдена людьми, а не комп'ютерами, і це відображає творчість людського роду (що, звичайно, не є гонкою взагалі). Ось чому, коли зірки виходять, вони є видимими, але коли вогні згасають, вони невидимі. І чому, коли я закінчу годинник, я запускаю його, але коли я закінчу цю статтю, я закінчу її?

Як завжди, насолоджуйтеся життям, і залишайтеся в безпеці!

Urdu: انگریزی آپ کہتے ہیں

انگریزی زبان پر ایک مزاحیہ نظر اور جس کا ترجمہ یہ ہو سکتا ہے 'ترجمہ'! چلو اس کا سامنا - انگریزی ایک پاگل زبان ہے. بینگن میں کوئی انڈے نہیں ہے اور نہ ہی ہیمبرگر میں ہیم ہے. انبیاء میں نہ ہی سیب اور نہ ہی پائن. انگریزی مفینوں نے فرانس میں انگلینڈ یا فرانس کے فرشوں میں ایجاد کیا. sweetmeats sweetbreads جبکہ کینڈی کینڈی ہیں، جو میٹھا نہیں، گوشت ہیں.

اگر اساتذہ سکھایا تو، کیوں مبلغ کی تعریف نہیں کی گئی؟ اگر سبزیوں سبزیوں کو کھاتا ہے، تو انسان کو کیا کھاتا ہے؟ اگر آپ نے ایک خط لکھا ہے، شاید آپ نے اپنی زبان کو بولا؟ بعض اوقات میں سوچتا ہوں کہ تمام انگریزی بولنے والے زبانی پاگل کے لئے سنسلم کے ساتھ ارتکاب کئے جاتے ہیں. لوگ کس زبان میں ایک پلے پر چلتے ہیں اور چلاتے ہیں؟ ٹرک کے ذریعے جہاز اور جہاز سے کارگو بھیجیں؟ کیا ناکیاں جو چلتے ہیں اور پاؤں ہیں بو بو؟ ڈرائیو پر پارک اور پارک کے راستے پر چلائیں؟

ایک پتلی موقع اور چربی کا موقع کیسے ہوسکتا ہے، جبکہ دانشور آدمی اور دانشور آدمی مخالف ہیں؟ مخالفین کو نظر انداز اور نگرانی کیسے کرسکتے ہیں، جبکہ کافی اور بہت کچھ ایک جیسے ہیں؟ موسم کس طرح گرم ہو سکتا ہے ایک دن جہنم اور سرد جہنم کے طور پر ایک اور؟ کیا آپ نے محسوس کیا ہے کہ ہم بعض چیزوں کے بارے میں بات کرتے ہیں جب وہ غیر حاضر ہیں؟ کیا آپ نے کبھی ایک گھوڑے کی گاڑی یا پٹا گاؤن دیکھا ہے؟ ایک سنگھ ہیرو یا تجربہ کار مطلوب محبت سے ملاقات کی؟ کیا آپ کبھی کسی ایسے شخص میں چلتے ہیں جو مشترکہ، پریشان کن، حکمران یا ممنوع تھے؟

آپ کو ایک زبان کی منفرد انشورنس پر تعجب کرنا ہوگا جس میں آپ کے گھر کو جلانے کے طور پر جلا دیا جا سکتا ہے، جس میں آپ کو فارم بھرنے سے ایک فارم میں بھرتی ہو اور جس میں ایک الارم گھڑی چل رہا ہے. انگریزی لوگوں کی طرف سے ایجاد کیا گیا تھا، کمپیوٹرز نہیں، اور یہ انسانی نسل کی تخلیقی صلاحیتوں کو ظاہر کرتا ہے (جو بالکل، بالکل دوڑ نہیں ہے). لہذا، جب ستارے باہر ہوتے ہیں تو وہ نظر آتے ہیں، لیکن جب روشنی باہر ہوتی ہے تو وہ پوشیدہ ہیں. اور کیوں، جب میں اپنی گھڑی کو کھینچتا ہوں تو میں اسے شروع کرتا ہوں، لیکن جب میں اس آرٹیکل کو کھڑا کروں تو میں اسے ختم کروں گا؟

Vietnamese: Tiếng anh bạn nói

Vietnamese:  Tiếng anh bạn nói
Một cái nhìn hài hước về Ngôn ngữ tiếng Anh và cách nó có thể được "dịch"! Hãy đối mặt với nó - Tiếng Anh là một ngôn ngữ điên rồ. Không có trứng trong cà tím cũng không ham trong hamburger; không táo cũng không thông trong dứa. Bánh nướng xốp kiểu Anh không được phát minh ở Anh hoặc khoai tây chiên ở Pháp. Thịt ngọt là kẹo trong khi bánh ngọt, không ngọt, là thịt.

Chúng tôi coi tiếng Anh là đương nhiên. Nhưng nếu chúng ta khám phá những nghịch lý của nó, chúng ta thấy rằng cát lún có thể hoạt động chậm chạp, nhẫn đấm bốc có hình vuông và một con chuột lang không phải từ Guinea cũng không phải là lợn. Và tại sao các nhà văn viết nhưng ngón tay không phải là ngón tay, cửa hàng tạp hóa không mò mẫm và búa không ham? Nếu số nhiều của răng là răng, tại sao không phải là số nhiều của gian hàng? Một con ngỗng, 2 con ngỗng. Vì vậy, một con nai sừng tấm, 2 meese? Một chỉ số, 2 chỉ số? Có vẻ như thật điên rồ khi bạn có thể sửa đổi nhưng không sửa đổi, rằng bạn lướt qua biên niên sử của lịch sử nhưng không phải là một biên niên sử? Nếu bạn có một loạt các tỷ lệ cược và kết thúc và loại bỏ tất cả trừ một trong số chúng, bạn gọi nó là gì?

Nếu giáo viên dạy, tại sao không giảng đạo? Nếu một người ăn chay ăn rau, một người nhân đạo ăn gì? Nếu bạn viết một lá thư, có lẽ bạn đã tặc lưỡi? Đôi khi tôi nghĩ rằng tất cả những người nói tiếng Anh nên được cam kết anasylum cho sự điên rồ bằng lời nói. Trong ngôn ngữ nào mọi người đọc thuộc aplay và chơi ở một buổi độc tấu? Ship bằng xe tải và gửi hàng bằng tàu? Bạn bị chảy nước mũi và bị hôi chân ư? Đậu xe trên đường và lái xe trên đường?

Làm thế nào một cơ hội mỏng manh và một cơ hội béo có thể giống nhau, trong khi một người đàn ông khôn ngoan và một người khôn ngoan là đối lập nhau? Làm thế nào có thể bỏ qua và giám sát là đối lập, trong khi khá nhiều và khá nhiều là giống nhau? Làm thế nào một ngày thời tiết nóng như địa ngục và lạnh như địa ngục khác? Bạn có nhận thấy rằng chúng ta chỉ nói về những điều nhất định khi họ vắng mặt? Bạn đã bao giờ nhìn thấy một chiếc xe ngựa hay một chiếc áo choàng có dây đeo chưa? Gặp một anh hùng hát hay tình yêu có kinh nghiệm? Bạn đã bao giờ gặp phải một người bị kết hợp, càu nhàu, hợp lý hay hoàn hảo chưa?

Bạn phải ngạc nhiên trước sự điên rồ độc nhất của một ngôn ngữ mà ngôi nhà của bạn có thể bị đốt cháy khi nó bị đốt cháy, trong đó bạn điền vào một biểu mẫu bằng cách điền nó vào và trong đó đồng hồ báo thức sẽ tắt. Tiếng Anh được phát minh bởi con người, không phải máy tính và nó phản ánh sự sáng tạo của loài người (tất nhiên, đây không phải là một chủng tộc). Đó là lý do tại sao, khi các ngôi sao tắt, chúng có thể nhìn thấy, nhưng khi đèn tắt, chúng vô hình. Và tại sao, khi tôi cuộn dây đồng hồ, tôi khởi động nó, nhưng khi tôi kết thúc bài viết này, tôi kết thúc nó?

Như mọi khi, tận hưởng cuộc sống, và giữ an toàn!

Welsh: Saesneg Dywedwch

Edrych hyfryd ar yr Iaith Saesneg a'r modd y gellir ei 'gyfieithu'! Gadewch i ni ei wynebu - mae Saesneg yn iaith wallgof. Nid oes unrhyw wy mewn eggplant na ham mewn hamburger; nid afal na phîn mewn pinafal. Ni chafodd myffiniau Saesneg eu dyfeisio yn Lloegr na Ffrangeg yn Ffrainc. Mae melysau melys yn cael eu hongian, tra bo melys, nad ydynt yn melys, yn gig.

Rydym yn cymryd Saesneg yn ganiataol. Ond os byddwn yn archwilio ei baradocsau, rydym yn canfod y gall cywasgu weithio'n araf, mae cylchoedd bocsio yn sgwâr ac nid yw mochyn gwin yn un o Guinea nac yn fochyn. A pham y mae ysgrifenwyr yn ysgrifennu ond nid yw bysedd yn bysedd, nid yw groseriaid yn croesi a morthwylwyr ddim yn hoff? Os yw'r lluosog o ddannedd yn ddannedd, pam nad yw lluosog y bwth yn ei gael? Un gei, 2 gei. Felly un ffa, 2 mi? Un mynegai, 2 fynegein? Onid yw'n ymddangos yn wallgof y gallwch chi wneud diwygiadau ond nid oes un yn diwygio, eich bod chi'n clymu trwy gyfnodau hanes ond nid un annal? Os oes gennych chi lawer o gymhlethdodau a gorffen a chael gwared â phob un ond un ohonynt, beth ydych chi'n ei alw?

Pe bai athrawon yn dysgu, pam na wnaeth y pregethwr beri? Os yw llysieuwr yn bwyta llysiau, beth yw bwyta dyngarol? Os ysgrifennoch lythyr, efallai y byddwch chi'n boteo'ch tafod? Weithiau, rwy'n credu y dylai pob siaradwr Saesneg fod wedi ymrwymo i anasgof am y llais yn wallgof. Ym mha iaith y mae pobl yn ei adrodd wrth aplay a chwarae mewn datganiad? Llongwch trwy lori ac anfonwch cargo trwy long? A oes gennych naws sy'n rhedeg a thraed yr arogl hwnnw? Parcio ar draffyrdd a gyrru ar y parciau?

Sut y gall siawns siawns a braster fod yr un fath, tra bod dyn doeth a dyn doeth yn gwrthwynebu? Sut y gall anwybyddu a goruchwylio fod yn wrthwyneb, tra bod llawer iawn ac ychydig iawn o'r un fath? Sut gall y tywydd fod yn boeth fel uffern un diwrnod ac oer fel un arall? Ydych chi wedi sylwi ein bod yn siarad am rai pethau yn unig pan fyddant yn absennol?

Ydych chi erioed wedi rhedeg i rywun a gafodd ei frwdio, yn grwnog, yn rhyfeddol neu'n beichusus?

Rhaid ichi fwynhau pa mor unigryw yw iaith lle gall eich tŷ llosgi i fyny wrth iddo losgi, lle byddwch chi'n llenwi'r ffurflen trwy ei llenwi a lle mae cloc larwm yn mynd rhagddo. Dyfeisiwyd y Saesneg gan bobl, nid cyfrifiaduron, ac mae'n adlewyrchu creadigrwydd yr hil dynol (sydd, wrth gwrs, nid yw'n hil o gwbl). Dyna pam, pan fydd y sêr allan, maent yn weladwy, ond pan fydd y goleuadau allan, maent yn anweledig. A pham, pan fyddaf yn dod i ben fy ngwylfa, yr wyf yn ei gychwyn, ond pan fyddaf yn dod i ben yr erthygl hon, rwy'n ei orffen?

Fel bob amser, mwynhewch fywyd, a byddwch yn ddiogel!

Saeed Qashash - (1979 - 1999)

On June 10, 1998, Saeed shot amd killed 11 members of his family and a family friend, in Jordan. He was executed by hanging in his prison cell on June 6, 1999, he claimed that he murdered 12 members of his family after they criticize him for his failure in secondary school exams.

Qashash was executed by hanging in his prison cell.

Saeed Qashash a 20-year-old Jordanian was executed shortly before dawn at Swaqa Prison, 60 miles south of the capital, Amman. Qashash was sentenced November, 1998, for gunning down a classmate and 11 relatives, including his parents, was hanged in his prison cell, on June 6, 1999

He confessed to the murders, saying his family had criticized him to pass his final school exams. After the shooting, Qashash hid the bodies behind a brick wall in the basement of his family home. He was arrested days later. In addition to his parents and family friend, Qashash killed his two brothers and four sisters, a brother-in-law and two nephews, ages two and three.

As reported by the Pakistani Business Recorder on June 7, 1999.

AMMAN: Jordan executed on Sunday a young man condemned to death for the slaughtering three generations of his family and a friend, jail officials said. Saeed al-Qashash, who was 19 years old when he committed the crime in June last year, was sentenced in November for shooting dead a school friend and 11 relatives including his parents and two toddlers, ages two and three. Qashash, who said his family had harassed him about passing his final school exams, was hung at dawn at Sawaqa jail, 70 kilometres (45 miles) south of Amman, the officials said.

After shooting the victims in the head Qashash bricked up their bodies in the basement of his family home, but was arrested and confessed two days later. Apart from his mother, 50, and father, 57, Qashash murdered his two brothers and four sisters as well as the husband of one of his sisters, their children aged two and three years old -- and the friend.

Al Qashash executed, repoted December 7, 1999 by the The Jordanian Star

Teenager Saeed Al Qashash, who was found guilty of murdering 12 members of his family including his friend, in June 1998, was executed on Sunday.

Al Qashash shot 11 members of his family: His mother Thuria, his father Amin, sisters Karimeh, Wafa, Mervit, Insaf, her husband and their two children. His brothers Mohammed and Mostafa and victim number 12, his close friend, Atta Shalan. Al Qashash said that his family used to criticize him for his failure in secondary school exams, and he couldn't take it anymore, so he decided to kill them. Minutes before his execution the young teenager asked for God's forgiveness and redemption, and he said that he was sorry that he murdered his family in such a savage way. He was declared dead at six o'clock Monday morning. His family then refused to receive his body and asked the police to bury his corpse.

Motives for latest murders baffle society

AMMAN -Jordanians were shocked last week by the mass killing by a youth of 11 members of his family and his friend. It was reported that the teenager's likely motivation for the crime was a "precautionary measure" in response to the family's threat to kick him out of the house if he failed the Tawjihi exams. But later it was reported that he did it in order to inherit the house and his father's company. The public's immediate reaction towards the incident was condemnation of such a heinous crime. Many described the killer to be "impious and ungrateful" for assassinating three generations of his family. Now people are beginning to focus more on what made him commit such a terrible crime-what are the real motives behind it?

Dr Sari Nasir from the University of Jordan told The Star that it is better to wait and see the result of the investigations, adding that all we can do now is speculate. "Generally speaking, crime is escalating in Jordan, and there are three main causes behind it," he remarked. Society is growing and expanding, and therefore becoming more complicated. Economic factors also play a significant role in rising levels of crime. It is important too, to take into consideration the pressure imposed by parents on their sons which sometimes leads to conflicts between the two generations. "Parents always press their sons to study hard and get high marks, notwithstanding their own desires or abilities," Dr Nasir added.

Commenting on this latest incident, Dr Nasir elaborated, "Undoubtedly his personality must be disturbed and, after being pressured by the family, he might have had a breakdown and committed the crime." Dr Nasir called on the government to pay closer attention to social problems in Jordanian society as they directly affect levels of crime. However, few seem to sympathize with the killer and say that he must be abnormal or suffering from psychological problems.

One analyst trying to understand the killer's motive stressed that many people suffer under oppressive parents or have other frustrations, whether at school or in their daily lives. They are being brought up to be aggressive. "Inside us lies two personalities, the soldier and the philosopher. The first likes to be strong and powerful, while the second prefers to be quiet, romantic and mostly dreaming," he said. "Also, in our daily life, things are complicated and people with heavy burdens and responsibilities become tense and start to lose control over their nerves. In a split second their outrage could turn them into murderers." One student said that many parents force their children to study well in order to pass their exams, a policy often unpopular with the children themselves. A conflict may then arise within the family and reach a stage where issues cannot be settled in a peaceful manner.

Another student sees the conflict between generations as the problem that brought this incident to such a dramatic end. He believes that we have to reform our families and "reshuffle the system", altering our way of life to avoid future massacres of this nature. Poverty, stress or psychological illness may be motives for violent crime, but surely not Tawjihi exams. Nowadays, Tawjihi exams are the source of much sarcasm -a time bomb that could explode at any time. Parents, elderly brothers and sisters are advised to take care of Tawjihi students, or else.

As always, stay safe !

Ahmad Musa Dakamseh:

Mass murderer, 7 victims all Israeli schoolgirls

On March 13, 1997 in Baqoura, Jordan, this Jordanian soldier, using a M-16 rifle, committed mass murder for revenge, he was arrested the same day without resistance. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison in 1998

In 1997 Jordanian soldier Ahmad Dakamseh shot to death seven Israeli schoolgirls on a field trip. The soldier was sentenced to life in prison by a military tribunal after he opened fire on a group of Israeli girls in Baqoura in the northern Jordan Valley, a small piece of land the kingdom retrieved from Israel under their 1994 peace treaty. Six other girls were wounded in the rampage.

On May 26, 1999, sources at the Jordan Bar Association said that Prime Minister Abdul Raouf Rawabdeh recently told the association's president that the "government may decide to free " the incarcerated rampager. Who

opened fire with an automatic rifle on junior high school girls who were on a field trip to the "Island of Peace" in the Jordan River. Other Jordanian troops at the site shouted "majnoun" (madman) at the soldier and eventually overpowered him.

Jordan soldier kills 7 israeli schoolgirls

Six students were wounded by the gunan, who fired from a guard tower

The shooting jolted the mideast, where peace talks have been contentious A group of Israeli schoolgirls was standing on Peace Island yesterday, overlooking the Jordan River and fields of wild yellow flowers, when a Jordanian soldier opened fire with an assault rifle, killing seven students. Six other pupils were wounded as girls dove into bushes and screamed for help.

After seizing a comrade's M-16 rifle, the soldier fired from an observation tower, then descended and chased the screaming junior high girls down a hill, firing wildly. He was overpowered by other Jordanian soldiers, who shouted, "Madman! Madman!" The shooting jolted a Middle East already in crisis over plans by Israel to build a Jewish settlement in predominantly Arab East Jerusalem and a dispute over the amount of occupied territory to be turned over by Israel. The attack came two days after King Hussein of Jordan sent a stinging letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accusing Israel of seriously damaging peace talks with the Palestinians.

Hussein's letter warned Netanyahu that his "deliberate humiliation" of Arabs and "accumulating tragic actions" were leading to "an abyss of bloodshed and disaster, brought about by fear and despair." Some Israeli officials suggested yesterday that the king's letter had somehow motivated the Jordanian soldier. It was not clear whether the shooting was politically motivated; a woman who said she was the soldier's mother told reporters in Jordan that he was mentally ill. The soldier, identified as Lance Cpl. Ahmed Yousef Moussa, was in Jordanian custody late yesterday.

Hussein called the shootings a "vile crime." Speaking in Madrid before he cut short a state visit to Spain and postponed a Washington summit with Pres. Clinton, Hussein said he "never thought it would break the way it did today" when he spoke of violence, "but I was fully within my responsibility to try to warn one and all that we had come too far." The shooting also was "aimed at me, my children, the people of Jordan," Hussein said. The king later phoned Netanyahu, saying he wanted to visit the families of the slain children.

Middle East leaders - including Hussein, Netanyahu and Palestinian head Yasir Arafat - attempted to calm passions by saying that peace negotiations would move forward. Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Mordechai, who visited the site of the shootings, called for peace, saying: "Violent words lead to physical violence." Last night the Israeli town of Beit Shemesh, home to the school attended by the girls, was a mixed scene of joy and funerals. About 43 girls survived the attack and were met at the Feirst School, where their parents hugged and kissed them. But only a few miles away, the dead girls were wrapped in white linens and buried throughout the night as grief-stricken parents and friends sobbed in one another's arms.

"This is a repulsive crime," said Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy. "These were innocent children, defenseless children . . . killed by a madman." Levy suggested there was a connection to the shooting and King Hussein's harsh criticism of Israel earlier this week. "Recent declaration created a psychological atmosphere that could lead to such tragic acts," Levy told Jordan's prime minister, Abdul-Karim Kanariti.

Witnesses and wounded children recounted several minutes of horror that marred the sort of two-day class trip that all Israeli students look forward to toward the close of each school year. The shootings occurred about 11:30 a.m., minutes after a busload of students had pulled up to the gate of Peace Island, a small strip of land in the Jordan River that historically had been disputed territory. Israel captured the area in the 1948 Mideast War, but returned it to Jordanian control under the 1994 peace accord. The land, which is two hours north of Jerusalem and still farmed by an Israeli kibbutz, offers spectacular views of the fertile Jordan River valley and has become a popular tourist attraction. Witnesses said the eighth-grade class crossed through the checkpoint and followed a winding, dirt road up the hill. Most of the 50 or so girls - who were between 12 and 14 years of age - got off the bus and walked to the edge of the hill for a better view. It was then, according to witnesses, that Moussa, a 26-year-old Jordanian army driver who patrolled the area, opened fire from a guard tower about 50 yards away.

"He was standing in the tower when he started shooting and then he came down and continued to shoot," said Rosa Himi, a teacher and chaperone. "We screamed to the kids to hide in the bushes and get down and he came within a few feet of us, still firing. Then he really became annoyed because he finished his first magazine [of bullets], but couldn't get the next magazine in." At that moment, according to Jordanian officials, other soldiers wrestled Moussa to the ground. Bloody bodies dotted the hilltop, and several girls who were hiding in bushes used their cell phones and called their school in Beit Shemesh, screaming and crying."Some guy started to shoot on us," said Hila Ivry, 13, who lay in a bed at Poriya Hospital yesterday with a bullet wound to her leg. "All my friends ran and cried for their mothers. My teacher came to help me. She was hurt in the back."

"I saw him," Ivry continued as her twin sister, Keren, lay in an adjacent bed with a stomach wound. "He was with a long gun and he shot on us . . . They [other schoolgirls] ran into the trees and flowers. Many girls were hurt." "The bullets dropped near me," said Yehudit Twito, 13, who wore a peace symbol necklace. "Then I saw more soldiers coming and I thought they were going to shoot us, but they helped us and stopped him when he couldn't change his magazine. We had gone through the gate. . . . They had checked our ID's. We thought it was safe. We didn't think anything would happen."

Deputy Education Minister Moshe Peled said his office is investigating whether the girls should have been allowed to visit such a site during high tensions between Arabs and Israelis. It is Israeli policy for adult escorts on such trips to be armed to protect children in case of conflict. Several students who were interviewed said the Jordanian guards at the gate to Peace Island confiscated at least one weapon from an escort. Seven victims were taken to nearby Jordan Hospital, and of those, five were dead on arrival, according to Jordan's health minister, Dr. Aref Batayneh. The dead were draped in white shrouds and flown to Israel. At Poriya Hospital, just west of the Sea of Galilee, the wounded were treated while parents and teachers wept in the lobby. Four teachers held one another and sobbed when they were told that their colleague, Yafa Shukman, was wounded in the barrage.

"She defended one of the children with her body," said Shoshi Cohen, who teaches Bible lessons at the Feirst School. She said two weeks ago another group of students visited the site with no problems. She added: "But today it's even dangerous to go to the Jewish Quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem." The shootings bore an eerie resemblance to the events of Jan. 1, when an off-duty Israeli soldier, Noam Friedman - later determined to be mentally disturbed - opened fire on shoppers in an Arab outdoor market in the West Bank town of Hebron. Five Palestinians were wounded before Friedman was overpowered by other Israeli soldiers. Arab and Israeli government officials said yesterday it was unclear what effect the seven dead schoolgirls will have on an already stalled peace process. Pres. Clinton, whose administration has been trying to hold peace talks together, called the shooting "senseless." He said, "There's no reason to believe this was politically motivated."

Delivering an eulogy last night at the funeral of four of the girls, Netanyahu told mourners: "If anyone thinks the murder of little girls will bring this people to its knees . . . or that we will relinquish our birthright, holy land and eternal capital, he does not know the strength that exists in each person standing here around me today and in the entire nation." While Arab and Israeli parties called for calm, there was also finger-pointing as both sides attempted to duck blame and gain the high ground in forthcoming negotiations. The relationship between Israelis and Palestinians has been severely strained by recent events, including Israel's proposal to build a settlement for 25,000 Jews at Har Homa and the size of the Israeli withdrawal from parts of the West Bank.At Naharayim, some Israeli witnesses said Jordanian soldiers did not act quickly enough to end the attack and that Jordanian border sentries refused for 40 minutes to permit Israeli ambulances to enter. But senior Israeli commanders minimized the complaints, saying the Jordanians gave medical treatment to the victims and evacuated seven of the most critically wounded - five of whom died - to a hospital in nearby Shuneh. They said a Jordanian general in Amman gave permission for Israeli ambulances to cross the border, along with army troops to search for missing children in the bushes.

May 26, 1999 - Cpl. Ahmad Dakamseh - The Jordanian government is considering releasing a Jordanian soldier who shot to death seven Israeli schoolgirls in 1997. Sources at the Jordan Bar Association said that Prime Minister Abdul Raouf Rawabdeh recently told the association's president that the "government may decide to free."

Jordan minister dubs Israel girls' killer 'hero' February 14, 2011

By Ahmad Khatib - AFP

AMMAN — Jordan's justice minister on Monday described a Jordanian soldier serving a life sentence for killing seven Israeli schoolgirls in 1997 as a "hero," drawing an expression of "revulsion" from Israel. "I support the demonstrators' demand to free Ahmad Dakamseh. He's a hero. He does not deserve prison," Hussein Mujalli, who was named minister last week, told AFP after taking part in the sit-in held by trade unions.

"If a Jewish person killed Arabs, his country would have built a statue for him instead of imprisonment." Mujalli, a former president of the Jordan Bar Association, was Dakamseh's lawyer. "It is still my case and I will still defend him. It is a top priority for me," he said. "Dakamseh needs a special pardon. Only the king can issue a special pardon," the state-run Petra news agency quoted Mujalli as saying.

The minister's comments drew a furious response from Israel, where tensions are already running high amid the turmoil in the Arab world that saw long-time Israeli peace partner Hosni Mubarak of Egypt quit office last week. "Israel is shocked and recoils from these comments in revulsion," a foreign ministry statement said. "This call is all the more serious as it came from the minister in charge of law and order. Israel has demanded clarifications from Jordan and has made it known very strongly that the murderer must serve the sentence handed down by the Jordanian court," the statement added. Jordan is the only Arab nation apart from Egypt to have signed a peace treaty with the Jewish state. In March 1997, Dakamseh fired an automatic weapon at a group of Israeli schoolgirls as they visited Baqura, a scenic peninsula on the Jordan River near the Israeli border, killing seven and wounding five as well as a teacher. The attack came almost three years after Jordan and Israel signed a peace treaty. The motives of Dakamseh, who was 30 at the time and a married father of three, were never clear. The then king Hussein cut short a visit to Europe and rushed home to condemn the attack. He later travelled to Israel to offer his condolences to the families of the murdered schoolgirls. And Jordan also paid compensation. Maisara Malas, who heads a trade unions' committee to support and defend the soldier, told AFP he handed a letter to Mujalli, demanding Dakamseh's release.

"We cannot imagine that a great fighter like Dakamseh is in jail instead of reaping the rewards of his achievement," the letter said. Jordan's powerful Islamist movement and the country's 14 trade unions, which have more than 200,000 members, have repeatedly called for Dakamseh's release.

As always, stay safe.

The old man:

The woman sits on the pavement, close to the heating grate. The warmth reminds her of a worn kitchen floor. The oven door is open. Someone yells. She closes her eyes. Footsteps. Some step around her and some brush the edges of her blanket as if she weren't there. Maybe she isn't. She's not sure. A gnarled hand, old but warm and strong, clasps hers. She opens her eyes. He is smiling at her. Do you have a place to stay tonight, ma'am? Can I walk you to the shelter? She smiles back at him. She goes to sleep then, with no more waking up. He stays with her and shows her where to go. There is a boy playing in the rubble, alone in the gathering darkness. Maybe he has nowhere to go, but he doesn't think about that right now. There's a cat here, trying to catch at the old string the boy trails across the ground. Maybe the cat has nowhere to go, either. They're having fun together. A large car waits nearby. Two men have been watching the boy for a while, waiting for it to get dark enough. They open the car doors. Something moves in the rubble that is not the boy. A flash of red eyes. The men close the car doors and speed away.

I never saw the old man while he was alive. I don't take handouts, and don't give them. I work for what I have -- earn every dime. So I like to hold on to what's mine. When I see people begging on the street, I look the other way -- walk right by. Like I say, I never noticed him. I'd been out with friends. Clouds ran across the moon, and a wet fog made it tricky to find your feet. I'd had a few, and was walking to my car, not too fast and maybe not too straight. I was fishing keys out of my pocket when I tripped over something. I thought it was a dog, but it turned out to be a leg. He was sitting on the pavement, leaned up against an old Ford Ranger. Black truck, black tires, dirty clothes ... he was invisible until my foot found him.

"Man," I said, "what're you doing down there?"

"Sorry, Mister," he said in a rough voice, "I need help. Can you...?"

I said something rude and walked on. I was opening the car door when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"What the--?" I whipped around. It was the old man, staring at me.

"Mister," he said again, "I need your help."

"Back off, or I'll call the cops," I said. I pushed his arm away and got into the car, shutting the door fast behind me. Now, maybe I'd had more than a few. But that woke me right up. I swear I was sober as Sunday when I pulled out of that parking spot. But then, just as I put on a little speed, that old man stepped in front of my car, full in the lights. I ran right into him. Then he disappeared. I slammed on the brakes, breathing hard. I might have hit him. I hadn't felt anything. Maybe this was some kind of scam, but I'm no fool. I flipped the door locks and pulled out my cell phone. I called 911 and said somebody was stalking people in the parking lot. A few minutes later, a cruiser pulled in, lights going but no siren. I rolled down my window and told the guys what happened. They got out with some huge flashlights and started looking around.

"Hey, Mack," one called from the bushes, "check this out."

I thought he meant me and opened my door, but the other officer told me to stay put and walked over to his partner. They talked, shining flashlights into the bushes, then called it in. Then they asked me to join them in the cruiser.

"We found the old man," one officer said. "He's over in the bushes. Dead." I felt the blood drain from my face. "I didn't hit him, I swear. Like I told you...."

"Yeah, we know," said the other officer. "That's what's funny. Our man in the bushes has been dead at least twenty-four hours, maybe longer."

Another squad car and an ambulance pulled into the parking lot. People had been coming out of the bar to see what all the lights were for. The police strung up the yellow tape and told everyone to move along. Then they walked me over to the bushes. It was an old guy, all right, lying curled up on his side, one hand stretched out towards us. Not exactly like the old man I'd seen, but close enough. I didn't say a word.

"Old guy said he needed help, right?" the officer said. "Guess you got it for him. Little late, though."

"Yeah, right," I said. We headed back to our cars.

The bushes across from us moved a little, like someone was standing there. I thought maybe I saw a little flash of reddish light. Eyes maybe. I kept walking.

Have a good New Year as well ….
