There must be equality before the law

By Ted Belman

Ariel: Price Tag Isn’t Terrorism, Rocks and Firebombs Are. He is so right and those who equate them like Livni are so wrong.

“Price tag is a serious offense and we must apprehend the criminals,

“The failure of the police and the Shin Bet time and time again to bring the criminals to justice does not turn these illegal acts and into terrorism,”

“Terrorism is murder and intent to kill by throwing rocks, shooting, firebombing, car bombs, and more,” added Ariel, who and called to differentiate between real terrorism and serious acts that are “unrelated to the definition of terrorism.”

Earlier Wednesday, at an emergency panel organized by Livni and attended by a slew of public officials, both Livni and Aharonovitch vowed a crackdown on “price tag” attacks and referred to them as acts of terrorism.

The panel convened on the same day that a Yitzhar woman – who is eight months pregnant – was arrested for posting comments in a private forum saying she would willingly throw rocks at and kill an IDF soldier.

The news – which was revealed to have been acted upon only because an Israeli news site threatened to publish the story, some two weeks after the fact – made headlines and sparked intense debate over Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, the role of the public officials in the private sphere, and the freedom of speech.

Outrage has also snowballed over what many perceive as unwarranted focus on the community of Yitzhar, which has seen a slew of arrests, public demolitions, and accusations of police brutality over the past month.

Reacting to the arrest of the woman earlier Wednesday, Livni once again levelled criticism at Yitzhar and compared the entire settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria to “a wild west sown with hatred toward Arabs and toward the rule of law and its representatives.”

MK Elkin: Lots More Incitement Coming From Arabs Than From Jews

The government should, and must, prosecute Jews who incite against the IDF or the state, Deputy Foreign Minister Zeev Elkin said Thursday – but what about the incitement that comes out of mosques and the Arab media? “Police must enforce the law equally,” Elkin said on Israel Radio Thursday. “If police go after Eliraz Fein from Yitzhar for incitement, they must go after Arab imams who say much worse.”

Amen to that.

  1. If Tzipi Livni deems the PT terrorists, does that mean she is ready to negotiate with them, meet their legitimate demands and provide their leaders with amnesty?

    I’d like to see her clarify for us the exact nature of Israel’s terrorism policy.

  2. Here is another hate crime, a blood libel perpetrated by the Obama admin to incite the american public against american jews in order to get revenge on Israel, bring pressure on Israel to cave to the pals and on the Iran deal and toprovide a red herring to distract from Obamas myriad scandals and failures (getting too numerous to count) many of which are impeachable and criminal offenses. Obama plays the anti semite card intraditional historic fashion.

  3. I have already read comments equating this graffiti vandalism with Krystallnacht. Next they will equate jewish vandalism with the Shoah. I even wonder if some of this vandalism is false flag to put a fig leaf over the sins of the gov. Imagine this ludicrous spectacle of those who released bloodthirsty murderers of Jews now moralizing and pointing fingers at others. What crime could be greater than the release of these murderers in order to have a sit down chat with other murderers? What is more disgusting than the complete ignoring of the pain of the parents of these repeated arab murders of Jews? If they had released the murderers of my child in this manner to roam the streets in freedom while I remain to suffer in pain I would want to kill them all.

    Livni proves once more to be the vehicle of the libeling euro cabal seeking to equate vandalism with the throat slitting of the Jewish baby fogel and the butchering of Shelly Dadon. Graffiti and olive trees appear to have more importance and a greater priority than last weeks Jew butchering which was downplayed to be a non hate crime. Livni and Aharonovitch should be hiding their heads in shame and trying to leave in silence for this most disgusting display.

    Furthermore, much of this price tag has to do with the frustration at the lack of government action in protecting Jews from arab violence, downplaying arab hate crimes, punishing Jewish and IDF victims of arab provocations and releasing murderers of Jews for nothing. The GOI slaps their face every time they do these things.

    Price tag is a restrained reaction to an Israeli government gone insane in reaction to unredressed arab hate crimes. A proportionate reaction to arab hate crimes would be stoning arabs and their children, slitting arab babies throats, butchering arab women, lynching them,……. If the GOI did its job and conducted itself with a shred of moral dignity there would be no need for the frustrated to express their frustration with vandalism.

  4. The various hate groups, such as the Obama crowd and the BDS gang, have obviously cottoned on to the idea that the Jews are their own worst enemies.
    This approach seems to be working really well…

  5. Perverted values are intrinsic to the Israeli unJewish leadership. They joined as one with Arafat in Oslo as part of a long term plan. That plan remains in place to this day.
    Consequently they fabricated since then files against Jews, armed the enemy so it can murder Jews, destroyed Jewish homes, farms, cemeteries, villages, schools, destroy or abandon Heritage, etc.
    They also routinely release convicted Islamic murderers.
    The Cossack like gang up on hapless spray painters, (if not agent provocateurs for the “Jewish Sektion), is typical of the worse anti-Semitic dedication by that cadre as is the use of state radio and TV to demonize, Nazi style religious Jews.
