The father of Bnei Brak terrorist Dia Hamarsha, who praised his son as a “heroic martyr” and incited further attacks, was released from jail by an Israeli judge due to his status as a “bereaved father.”
Ahmad Hamarsheh, the “bereaved father” (who reportedly had little contact with his son in recent years) somehow had the wherewithal to lead terror-supporting rallies in Jenin and make speeches calling for additional attacks in the days following his son’s death. Additionally, he made videos praising the Tel Aviv terror attack which quickly went viral in the Palestinian sector, gaining tens of thousands of views on social media.
After he was arrested and indicted for incitement and support of terror groups, the military prosecution requested that his detention be extended until the end of the court’s proceedings due to his incitement.
The judge in a military court in the Shomron refused to extend his arrest, writing that “it’s hard to judge the behavior of a bereaved parent.”
The military prosecution is appealing the decision.

writing that “it’s hard to judge the behavior of a bereaved parent.” So let’s bump off his children, and then have him get back to us and advice us about just how really easy it is to judge the behavior of a bereaved parent.
Showing mercy to the cruel only ends with showing cruelty to those who deserve mercy. We used to mock via old saying : the man who murdered his parents pleads to the judge “Have mercy on me, ‘Im an orphan”.
Truly Olam Hafuch.
Judge insane
Even if he was a poor bereaved parent who meant no harm whatsoever, the very act of freeing him sends a deafening statement to every terrorist or would be terrorist in Gaza.
Every act of concession literally puts millions of Jewish lives in danger.
Without Torah, you can even symphatize with a terrorist!
Throwing someone in jail for what their adult child does seems to smack of something one would expect for the British Empire or Germany (Sippenhaftung), and does have an origin in Germanic law, but is alien to Jewish law and to modern law in the English-speaking countries.
Akuperma, who said anything about throwing anyone in jail for what their child did? Did you bother to read the article before commenting?! “After he was arrested and indicted for incitement and support of terror groups”.
