Israeli MK Incites Violence Against Leftists, Palestinians
In developed societies, incitement to violence is a punishable offense. Israels standards should be no different.
During Thursdays rally, right-wing Israeli member of Knesset Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) is seen encouraging the chanting crowd with phrases like, leftist traitors, and leftists out. He then asks: Why is it only 200 flights and 15 killed? We want 15 flights and 2,000 killed!
Watch: Right-wing demonstrators call for expulsion of leftists
When I posted this video on my personal facebook account earlier today, it had only 300 views, and I noted that, in my opinion, MK Ben-Ari should be arrested. (I still believe that to be the case, and I hope the authorities are reading this.) I got a number of responses from Israeli Jews noting, with some embarrassment, that the clip is disgusting and that Ben-Ari does not represent Jews or Israel or them:
--CLIP
The sentiments are reassuring. And indeed, politically, Ben Ari a self-declared supporter of the slain Rabbi Meir Kahane and a former member of the outlawed group Kahane Chai has very few followers in Israel, though enough to get him and his party elected. Some of them are seen in the video with him, chanting Gaza is a graveyard.
