Judge proposes Rabbi Ginsburg retract inciteful statements
Jerusalem Magistrate's Court Judge Noam Solberg on
Wednesday proposed that Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg
explicitly and publicly retract his offensive
statements about Arabs, in return for an end to
all criminal proceedings against him.

Ginsburg, a member of the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidic movement, and a former head of a yeshiva in the West Bank city of Nablus, was indicted in July on charges of encouraging racism against Arabs in his book, "Tsav Hasha'a - Tipul Shoresh" ("Order of the Day - Radical
Treatment"), which was published in 2001.

<snip>

Among others, the charges cite a conversation in the book between Ginsburg and a student. The student asks: "So an Arab has no right to exist in Israel?" Ginsburg replies: "Here in the Land of Israel, he has no right."
