| Axelrod acquitted of incitement following acquittal of Arab
Today, Chief Justice Aharon Barak decided to acquit David Axelrod, a resident of Tapuah, on charges of violating the anti-terrorism law.
Right-wing activists hang pictures of the Jewish terrorist in Shefaram
A resident of Shefaram was shocked when she saw, at about 4:30 am, three religious Jews hanging flyers in the city bearing the photo of the Jewish terrorist.* She called the police, who shortly arrested the three men, one a resident of the Tapuah settlement, the second a resident of Holon, and the third a Canadian citizen
Was Maimonides a racist?
It is said in the eighth and ninth paragraphs: If a non-Jew commits adultery with a Jewish woman, he is killed immediately if she is married. If she is not married, he is not killed.
The war on democracy
The strength of the Jewish you-chose-us camp* springs from the recognition that Jews must obey divine law instead of the laws of the Knesset, rabbis instead of military commanders. According to this theory, all men are not created equal; a Jew is much more important than a non-Jew
They have nothing better to do anyway
In a question and answer program aired by Channel 7 this week, the rabbi of Kiryat Arba, Dov Lior, said that a person who has repented and returned to his religion, and owns pornographic movies is allowed to sell them—but only to non-Jews.
A lesson in transfer*
Teacher: Hello, students. As part of today’s social studies lesson, we will begin to learn about the legacy of Rehavam Zeevi.
On settlement and disengagement
Do you remember when Moshe Dayan declared that Sharm al-Sheikh without peace was better than peace without Sharm al-Sheikh? Despite this, as foreign minister Dayan worked for peace with Egypt. As for Sharm—known here as Ofer—it was evacuated of settlers
Growing Jewish terrorism
Even if the story about a conspiracy to blow up a building in Rehovot sprang up spontaneously like a balloon filled with hot air, there can be no doubt that against the backdrop of disengagement, Jewish terrorism made great strides, reaching a level of danger that was formerly reserved for Palestinian terrorism alone
Rabin’s view of transfer
It’s hard to believe that MKs Sarid and Tamir do not know their history. But if they had opened a history book, there would have been no place for their comments about the law to commemorate Zeevi’s legacy and the entry of the term “transfer” into the Israeli legal record for the first time.
Rabbi Ariel: We will establish a Jewish state in Gaza
This morning, Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, a prominent religious Zionist rabbi, said, “We are asking the people to do their best to defend Gush Katif.
Those detained because of disengagement decide to name a synagogue after the terrorist Eden Zada
They’re praising a murderer: “This synagogue was named after Eden Zada,* may the Lord avenge him and may he rest in peace.” This was the phrase written on a piece of paper hung on the door of the synagogue at the Dekel Prison, near Beersheba.
White supremacists
Last week, Channel 1’s “Press Conference” invited two guests—Tommy Lapid and Avigdor Lieberman. The two men are different sides of the same coin, but they both represent white racism.
Homework on Zeevi's legacy
The Knesset Education Committee today approved in the second and third reading a bill proposed by MK Arieh Eldad (Nationalist Union), the party colleague of the late Minister of Tourism Rehavam Zeevi, to memorialize Zeevi's legacy.
He blushed in shame
The proposed law to memorialize the legacy of Rehavam Zeevi is unacceptable and will disgrace the Israeli legal record. With it, Israel will become the first country in the world to include the theory of collective transfer in its official educational curriculum
A Jew's honor
Reactions are one thing that distinguishes Judaism from Christianity. When Christians are struck on the right cheek, they turn their left check. Judaism, however, encourages a double retribution when a non-Jew touches even the hair on a Jew's head.
32 leftist activists interrogated in Hebron
On Saturday, Israeli security forces arrested 32 leftist extremists who had entered Area A in the Tel Rumeida region in Hebron . The leftist activists went to the city to express their solidarity with Arab residents. A warning: Judaism as racism The decision of the Russian attorney general to initiate an investigation into the racist incitement against non-Jews contained in the Shulhan Aruch* was met with great anger, beginning with Meretz, including Shinui, Labor, and the Likud, and ending with all the religious parties Murderers come from the right This incident should be referred to as what it is: A terror attack. It is unclear why police commanders, and some news reporters, attempted to forego the obligatory definition. Noam and Elisheva Federman to be investigated for “racist” statements made on television Attorney General Mani Mazuz is taking active steps to confront the stinging statements repeated in the media. State's attorney Shai Nitzan sent a letter this morning to the head of the police investigations' unit asking them to investigate Noam Federman and his wife Elisheva Mazuz asked to investigate MK Porush for inciting racism The Center for Jewish Pluralism asked Attorney General Mani Mazuz last week to conduct a criminal investigation into Likud MK Meir Porush on the charge of inciting racism after Porush supported statements made by Safed Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu With the help of our sacred Torah, they will not evacuate the settlements In an unprecedented interview with our correspondent Yehoshua Meiri, prominent Kabala scholar Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri said, “With the help of our sacred Torah, the Prime Minister will not give these places away to the Arabs, and this land will remain ours. The Messiah will come soon to abrogate all arbitrary decisions.” Jewish terrorism: From the Hebron massacre to the Bat Ayin terrorist group The Shin Bet is accusing Jewish terrorist undergrounds of the murder of several Palestinians. The perpetrators have not yet been found. In addition, in the recent past, several Jews were arrested and charged with committing terrorist activities against Palestinians Arabs can enter the Temple Mount but Jews cannot While Jews are prohibited from entering the Temple Mount , hundreds of Muslim youth are infiltrating the area, violating police orders that allow entry only for Muslims over the age of 40 Return and racism In December 1948, the UN General Assembly recognized the right of refugees who had been expelled from Israel in the war of 1948 to return The boycott of some Israeli universities destroys the basis of the state's existence The decision by the Association of University Teachers (AUT) in Britain to boycott two Israeli universities—Bar-Ilan and Haifa —can provide an opportunity for a renewed discussion of the connection that exists (or not) between academia and Israeli current affairs and, no less, of the connection that exists (or not) between anti-Israelis on the left and the right. Israeli police: Right-wing activists planning a terrorist attack on the Temple Mount Today, Jerusalem Police Chief Colonel Ilan Franco addressed warnings that extreme right-wing activists intend to carry out a terrorist attack on the Temple Mount with the aim of disrupting the disengagement plan Barak: The next political assassin lives among you The former Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, visited the settlement of Gush Katif yesterday. “The assassins of the future are much more dangerous than Yigal Amir [Rabin's assassin],” he said during the visit Teaching the heritage of transfer The bill to establish a national memorial day for Rehavam Ze'evi and a memorial institute to perpetuate his memory shames the Knesset. Granted, Ze'evi was the first minister to be murdered while holding that position, but this fact does not retroactively legitimize the party platform on which he was elected to the Knesset and later became a minister. “Tzameret was stabbed for political reasons” MK Issam Makhoul (Hadash) said this afternoon, “As more time passes, the more certain I am that Shimri was stabbed for political reasons. My belief is based on my gut feeling and on conversations I had yesterday with Shimri.”
Members of Jehovah's Witnesses in Israel have complained for many years of threats and harassment from Jewish religious organizations, particularly from the anti-missionary Yad Lachim organization, whose members spit on them, threaten them at gunpoint, spray paint and water on them, and have them fired from their jobs. Three Revava leaders arrested This morning (May 3) the police detained the three leaders of the right-wing extremist Revava movement, David Haivri, Yisrael Cohen, and Lenny Goldberg. It's enough to read the paper The Israeli demand that the Palestinian Authority halt the incitement against Israel in the Palestinian media and school system is well known Biblical imperative: Gaza is part of the land of Israel Responding to attempts to cloak the elimination of the Gush Katif settlements in Biblical legitimacy by saying that Gaza is not part of the land of Israel , Rabbi Gedalia Axelrod, former head of the Haifa Religious Court , recently issued a Halakhic injunction demolishing such claims. The important thing is that they don't stop hating us Roman Vetter gives us a summary of the events of the past week, during which anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi attacks were turned into a political tool for use by the Israeli government Livni: The land of Israel includes the eastern bank The Knesset has rejected the “state security” bill, which was proposed by MK Arieh Eldad, in its preliminary reading. Minister Livni attacked the bill, and said that she thought that “the land of Israel extends all the way to include the eastern bank of the Jordan River , so are you suggesting that we announce our sovereignty there as well?” Naturi Karta calls on Arab leaders to cut ties with Israel Naturi Karta Rabbis Dov Beck, Yisrael Weiss, and Aharon Cohen continue to peak interest in Beirut, after they arrived in the city to attend the international meeting on the Palestinian right of return Gush Shalom talk about racism How much can be peace be denigrated, used as a slogan to achieve dubious ends? The abuse of the concept of peace is an unforgivable crime that has caused some of mankind's greatest catastrophes Demographic trends favor the religious The media tells me that the country's religious circles are in a state of despair. Yet I have complete faith that demography, democracy, and dialogue will set this country on the right path, and it will become a Jewish state as envisaged by the Torah and the prophets of Israel . Why am I so optimistic? Far-right activists ambush the families of officers The far right has found a new weapon in its war on the disengagement plan. In the last few weeks Baruch Marzel, leader of the Jewish National Front, and other activists have been ambushing the families of senior Israeli army officers, putting indirect pressure on the officers not to participate in the disengagement plan. Teaching Zeevi's call for the mass expulsion of Arabs in schools The Education Committee gave preliminary approval to a bill that would allow the teaching of the beliefs of assassinated minister Rehavam Zeevi, particularly the controversial part involving the collective transfer of Palestinians Orlev: “There is no way around transferring Zone A in the West Bank to Jordan ” Yesterday, during a regularly-scheduled meeting of the International Assembly of Orthodox Rabbis and Jewish Leaders in Jerusalem , MK Zevulun Orlev, head of the National Religious Party's parliamentary group, said that Jordan is the nation of the Palestinians and another Palestinians state should not be created. The reign of the Qassam Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu from Safed has issued a new religious decree declaring that it is permissible to hurt innocent Arabs if one is defending Gush Katif and Sderot residents from being harmed by the launching of Qassam rockets. The settlers are leading us to apartheid The settlers are trying to liken themselves to demonstrators in the Ukraine . I would like to point out to them here that the majority of the people in the Ukraine took to the streets when a minority there forged the elections, while in Israel a minority is trying to impose its opinion by force on the vast majority. A military source: We would rather destroy the synagogue A military source told Bamahane magazine, “It is difficult for us to bear the idea of a Palestinian burning a mezuzah* or Torah in front of the world. Sharon 's mistake Sharon: While you used to be the person of whom I was most proud—I even used to call you “the bulldozer”—I was disappointed , just like the overwhelming majority of your voters, when you changed your spots entirely MK Eldad: Martin Luther King broke laws because they were immoral During a popular rally in Kiryat Arba, an officer received a medal of distinction after he was dismissed from the officer choir for announcing his refusal to participate in the destruction of settlements. “He put on an Umm Kulthoum tape, may God erase her memory” The inauguration of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef's new synagogue, which opened a few weeks ago behind his house in the Har-Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem The final solution to the Jewish-Arab conflict according to Avigdor Lieberman: “All the Jews on one side and all the Arabs on another” The main threat facing Israel today is not terrorism or the Palestinian problem, but is represented by just one of the three major problems facing the state of Israel , which is the face-off between us and Arab Israelis. A look at the Messiah Question Greetings, rabbi. I wanted to know why we are so opposed to Jesus Christ, especially since it is his supporters who made him into a god, not he himself. So why is there all this hostility towards him? A disabled IDF veteran protests the imprisonment of his officer son Yefim Koretzki—an IDF veteran who is 100% disabled as a result of injuries sustained in 1967—has begun a one-man demonstration at the Petah Tikva-Kaplan Junction in front of the Azriel Mall to protest the imprisonment of his son, Captain Zvi Koretzki, in a military prison today. Ultra-orthodox family suspected of buying Arab infant for NIS7,000 The day before yesterday, a 57-year-old resident of Bnei Brak was arrested on suspicion of having acted as the middleman between an ultra-orthodox couple from Jerusalem who could not have kids and an Arab woman from Jaffa who wanted to sell her several month-old infant about six years ago Jewish foolishness The Jewish National Fund (JNF) has admitted that it is a fund for Jews and Jews alone. And then we don't understand where Arab anger comes from… From solidarity to hysteria Last week while I was standing in line at the cash register at the supermarket in my neighborhood, I heard the woman who was standing behind me complaining about another woman who had not allowed an old man who had two items to go ahead of her in the line. She asked her daughter in surprise, “How can a Jew do that to another Jew?” Rabbi Sharlo: The rules are different on the battlefield Yesterday, charges were pressed against Capt. R, who shot the corpse of the Palestinian girl at the Philadelphia Corridor. Illegal use of arms and obstructing legal proceedings are among the charges against him.
The communications that went out over the Girit military outpost's network regarding the killing of Iman al-Hams were an intentional mix of military and civilian language. Minister of Communications: Anti-Semitic comparisons abroad are similar to the practices of settlers Minister of Communications Dalia Itzik said that anti-Semitic comparisons abroad are similar to the symbols used by settlers in their demonstrations. Rabbi Eliyahu: The disengagement plan is the cause of the tsunami The former chief rabbi of Israel , Mordechai Eliyahu, shares the opinion of a wide swathe of the public about the real cause of the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia that left hundreds of thousands dead. He says that the tidal wave that struck Sri Lanka , Thailand , and Indonesia is an expression of the Lord's anger at the world's support for the disengagement plan. This is how incitement against Rabin started This evening in the capitol, three 15-year-old girls were arrested after spray painting incendiary graffiti downtown, including “Death to the Arabs” and “No Arabs, No Terrorist Attacks. Frustration with disengagement leads to extremism in settlements of Samaria Recent goings on in the Samarian hills are the result of a dangerous confluence of two things: local clashes between settlers and Palestinians because of the olive picking season and growing frustration on the extreme right with the progress being made by disengagement. The combination of the two is a sure guarantee of an explosion. Why does the occupation exist? A response to Dudu Elharar Dudu Elharar (“Why Does the Occupation Exist?” September 7) did not understand the question posed by Gideon Levy on “Meet the Press.” Rabbi Kahane has won Today is the 18th day of the month of Cheshvan, the 14th anniversary of the death of Rabbi Meir Kahane, may God avenge his death Haggai Amir: “With one phone call I could get rid of the Prime Minister” The Prison Authority is currently considering measures against Haggai Amir, the brother of the assassin of former Prime Minister Rabin, Yigal Amir, after he threatened within earshot of the guards the day before yesterday, “With one phone call I could get rid of the Prime Minister.” Can we show joy over Arafat's death? There was a big dispute in my school over whether it is okay to publicly show joy over the death of Arafat. One camp argued that we should not be happy over the demise of the enemy, while another camp said that this rule only applied to Jews Two Kahane partisans convicted of racist incitement Haim Paniri and Yair Shariki, two Kahane partisans who painted anti-Arab graffiti in the Segula Industrial Zone in Petah Tikva, were convicted on charges of defacing property and racist incitement. One people white, the other black I understand. You think you're not a racist? Then answer the following question with complete honesty, only to yourself. No one else will see or hear you. Please excuse me, the question is in the masculine form, because that's the norm in our world. Racism leans towards the center The folly issued by the rabbis, who justified the murder of Arab civilians on the grounds that is difficult to distinguish terrorists from the civilian population—it is also hard to tell the difference between the followers of Rabbi Haim Druckman and the followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane—is suggestive, if only because of its heroic readiness to reveal an ugly self-portrait Who “allowed” the assassination of secular soldiers? The police will launch an investigation into the extreme right-wing activists who circulated a Halakhic injunction allowing the murder of secular soldiers who participate in the evacuation of settlements. The injunction suggests that religious soldiers only be beaten. Rabbi Aviner: soldiers with the navy unit were right to have killed the wounded terrorist Rabbi Shlomo Aviner issued a religious opinion this morning regarding the killing of a wounded Palestinian terrorist by soldiers with a special naval force. He said the soldiers did what they should have when they killed the terrorist after arresting him. Losing God's image “And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every living thing will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made He man” (Genesis 9, 5-6). Jewish militants We often speak of “Islamic militants,” who in their sermons and conflicts show no concern for human life. Now we, too, have among us “Jewish militants.” Some rabbis—a few of whom are considerate “moderates”—have signed a Halakhic injunction allowing the Israeli army a free rein to shell innocent civilians Settling the banks of the Euphrates As the Prime Minister exerts exhaustive efforts to implement the disengagement plan, extreme right-wing rabbis and members of the Jewish Leadership Movement have their own agenda. Some speak seriously of occupying “the Promised Land,” from Iraq to Egypt Chabad rabbis: Sharon is collaborating with modern-day Nazis Two senior Chabad rabbis are asking the Attorney General to try the Prime Minister under the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators because of the disengagement plan The wane of democracy: the rise and fall of the Israeli republic David Druckman, the high rabbi of Kiryat Motzkin, believes that the Sharon government is a sinful government. Last week he called on the public to pray for its fall. Druckman told Nana that he is calling for Sharon 's blood “so he can go back to his cows, sheep, and rabbits.” |
