Eye For Eye?

[Arpa]

Exod.21.

24] Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

[25] Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

[26] And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

[27] And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

[28] If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.

My Armenian Bible, as well as this; http://www.biblesociety.org.lb/bible/bible_armenian.html

Translate the passage as; Աչքի դեմ աչք, ակռայի դեմ ակռայ.

I have no idea who those idiot translators are**, but one wishes that they knew Armenian to know that “achq” is the plural of “ach/eye”, and that the proper Grabar translation has it as; Akn akan, and atam@n @nd atam, Ակն ական եւ ատամըն ընդ ատամ, “eye for eye and tooth for tooth”.

Look at what those sonafabitches are doing.

An eye for all the eyes of the world, and a tooth for a whole denture?

When will the orld learn how to read that cursed BOOK and see how those people have never had even a moment of peace and friendship with their neighbors.

Yeah, yeah we know. They recognize Jehovah as their supreme being, and everyone who may dare contest them with their own deities like Aramazt, Astuats or Allah must be incinerated and sent to ….. H E L L

Those sonafabitches!!! Is the Middle East not big enough??? Why don’t they wait another 2000 years to realize that Europe, Germany, Poland, Russia… is not the “Promised Land”! And when the “kitchen/oven” gets too hot…!! Once again Remember what that nonexistent idiot Moses had said!!

A Daily Survey of What the International Online Media Are Saying

Posted at 09:45 AM ET, 06/29/2006

The Hostage and the Picnic

The U.S. media coverage of the ongoing Israel incursion into Gaza "has been irresponsible in not covering much about the prologue to the present violence, the Israeli military's bombing of civilians on a Gaza beach earlier in the month," says blogger Juan Cole.

The Israeli military denies they were responsible for the explosion that killed seven members of a Palestinian family on June 9. But there is no denying Cole's assertion that the story of the death of the Ghalia family was much bigger news in the Arab world than in the United States, thanks to a searing video taken by a Palestinian cameraman of the lone survivor, 10-year-old Huda Ghalia, screaming over the remains of her family. The video is available online, though viewers should be warned of its graphic content.

Hamas says the deaths of the Ghalia family justify the abduction of 19-year-old Cpl. Gilad Shalit.

With an eye on Palestinian public opinion, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told Al-Jazeera yesterday that the Shalit's capture represented "a fulfillment of the duty to the girl Huda Ghalia whose family was killed in front of her eyes," according to Israel's YNet News.

The Israeli Major General who conducted the government's investigation of the explosion stands by his conclusion that the Israeli military was not involved.

"The investigation focused on six artillery shells fired by the IDF," said the conservative Israel News Agency. "The army says it is certain five landed about 250 metres (820ft) from the beach where the Ghalia family were sitting. One shell apparently misfired, but the explosion which ripped through the Ghalia family's picnic was at least eight minutes afterwards, the army says."

"Another senior Israel officer had concluded that it was a Hamas work accident where an explosion of a stockpile of Kassam rockets had caused the civilian fatalities," said INA. Their headline: "Israel Proves Gaza Deaths Caused by Palestinian Terrorism."

 

** Yes I do. They were not Armenians neither did they know the intricacies of our laguage.
