4. What percentage of Israel regards Amir as a hero? 10%? 20%? It's a significant chunk, anyways.

@HeerJeet 5% of the Israeli public supports pardoning Amier now. Some 69% of respondents oppose a future pardoning. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3320266,00.html …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
