UPDATE: Ben White tweeted that Reuters published a story a week ago naming Moyal. But apparently the IDF censor compelled Reuters to remove the name, which it did. There are a few online sources which continue to display the original version of the story with Moyal’s name.
Jordanian authorities have published for the first time the name of the Israeli Shin Bet agent who killed two Jordanian civilians and severely wounded a third. Further, there have been mass protests in Amman against the country’s government for going lightly on the killer and the Israeli government, not to mention anger over the lack of Jordanian response to the Al Aqsa crisis.
As a result King Abdullah realizes he must take a tougher approach in order to mollify activists in the kingdom. He does this against his own inclination since Jordan, like the PA, is a willing collaborator with Israel in security, intelligence and many other matters. So in a sense Abdullah is a hypocrite.
But he has identified the embassy deputy security chief as Ziv Moyal and also published his Jordanian security ID. As a result, Israeli media have also published his name. Now Bibi can embrace the killer full-frontal, as opposed to the chicken shit photo he took of him embracing Moyal from behind so his face could not be seen. Now also the Israeli uber-nationalists can lift Moyal on their shoulders and parade him in front of Al Aqsa to provoke even more violence between Jews and Muslims.
Jordan has told Israel that its ambassador and embassy staff will not return to that country until Israel tries Moyal for his killings. That puts Bibi is a bad spot as he’s endorsed the man for his brave deeds. The best Israel can do is mount a sham investigation that finds Moyal acted proportionally and appropriately. Perhaps they can cashier him from the spy agency. Then Moyal can get a job as a private security guard guarding settlements and stolen Palestinian homes on behalf of Elad. They’ll put his killer instincts to good use against uppity Ay-rabs for sure.
Ynet reported as well that exposure of this information by Jordan is liable to have international repercussions. It didn’t explain what this might mean. But it’s an intriguing thought that Jordan might pursue the matter before international bodies such as the United Nations or other judicial fora further ratcheting up pressure against Israel.
For all the ‘sound and fury’ of this ‘crisis’ and the al Aqsa’ crisis’, nothings changed.
The desert sands shifted. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
You forgot to mention the Jewish babies that are born while the sands shift, the dogs bark and the caravan moves on.
And congratulations on your choice of oriental imagery: You must feel you have really integrated into the neighborhood.
Why is this antisemite still aloowed to comment here?
@Daniel: Read the comnent rules bub. You don’t get to determine who comments nor who is allegedly anti-Semitic. You’re a guest. Guests don’t make the rules.
Your nickname is too close to another commenter using the handle “Danny.” Add an initial to your comment handle to distinguish yourself from him.
@ Anya: that’s funny. Precisely what Erich Honeker said the day before the Berlin Wall toppled in 1989. And what Gurbachev said the day before they mounted a failed coup against him which toppled the Soviet Union.
And it’s so cute of you to appropriate an Arab saying to which you have no right as a pro-Israel shill. Next thing you know you’ll adopt a fake Arab name to show how “native’ you are.
I seem to recall that a certain someone was FORCED to take down certain metal detectors and cameras from a certain place they had tried to enforce authority over, but FAILED miserably.
In your analogy, the barking dogs decided to bite and drew blood, and the caravan stopped in its tracks.
A certain someone is feeling hurt.
@Danny
In search of ths caravan? Follow the droppings.
must it be jordan the one to go to the ICC. can’t it be a family member or simply anyone?
or you or me on behalf of the dead?
it is hi time for such an idea
I don’t feel integrated where I am, but when I die, I expect to be fully accepted to Mother Earth.
It appears the new national ‘hero’ (who hoped his face would remain hidden) has reacted to his ‘outing’ by packing up his family from their home and moving to an undisclosed location.
Between this guy and Elor Azaria, I daresay Israel’s modern-day ‘heroes’ leave something to be desired!
Wonder if this guy has another passport too. There’s been a lot of articles on Elor Azariya here in Franc as he’s got a French passport too. Pro-Palestinian activists have asked that he be juged by a French court as Israel failed to sentence him properly. If this ‘undisclosed location” is abroad, maybe he could be sued there.
You keep on referring to this guy as Shin Bet agent. Looking at your posts, you have done this first writing “Israeli Shin Bet agent (embassy security is provided by this agency) ” but with no evidence for this.
Can you please provide any source of your claim? Nobody else (as far as I see) have made it.
@Daniel: as I requested, change yr comment handle by adding an initial so you are not confused with “Danny, ” another commenter.
Everyone with any knowledge of Israeli security procedures knows that all embassy security is handled by the Shin Bet. You are a fool to think I would make such a claim up without knowing what I’m talking about. And you reveal yr own ignorance by questioning my claim. You could easily have saved yourself the trouble by researching this beforehand.

Why don’t Jordan try him for his killings since he killed Jordanians?
