Just yesterday I wrote a post in which I called the police interrogation of Rabbi Dov Lior for incitement a “charade,” since the authorities cannot nor will not do anything meaningful to address the savagery and violence of his views against Palestinians and Israeli democracy. He supports the murder of Palestinian children and yesterday Yisrael HaYom quoted him as calling Israeli democracy, the “idol worship of our time.” The article quoted a supporter attacking the “Bolshevik government” which “kidnapped” the holy rabbi for questioning.
Now comes news (h/t to Dena Shunra) that the Hebron settler council will honor Lior (Hebrew) with the “Beloved of the Settlements” award. That’s certainly nothing unusual. But who will be guests of honor at this glorious simcha? None other than deputy prime minister and former chief of staff Bogie Yaalon, Interior minister and Shas party leader Eli Yishai, and the current IDF commander for the West Bank. Not only will they appear, but they will speak in the rabbi’s honor.
This is either a country in the midst of a schizoid identity crisis or else it’s a country that’s only fooling itself when it says it embraces liberal western values of democracy and human rights. These are mere words. By their actions, the power loci of the Israeli elites show what they really “cherish” and value.
Though Bibi may use his most grave voice when proclaiming that “no Israeli is above the law” in claiming to support such police questioning, who does Israel think it’s fooling? This moral munchkin and spiritual mentor of the Jewish terror underground, is an exemplar of not just the Israeli rabbinate or the settler movement, but he figuratively dances at the weddings of the Israeli élite. He is their darling.
Israel is founded on the the terror of Irgun, the expulsion of Palestinians, the total destruction of villages, farmland, orchards and a way of life, the theft of land and resources, and the ongoing oppression of millions of people who rights have been held hostage for decades.
What we see happening in Israel is the natural progression of Zionist supremacy which is infecting everyone and where the Law that protects everyone equally has become an obstacle and not worth the paper it’s written on.
I keep having to repeat myself: No matter how much Israelis brag about their accomplishments and their “Democracy” nothing good will ever come of the Zionist experiment; only evil.
Zionism is proving that it’s possible to sell one’s soul for a piece of land.
This is one of those pieces of news that needed the words “I’m not making this up” in the subject line.
There have been rather too many of these recently.
Slightly less unbelievable – but still fairly astonishing – is the 1000-strong pro-rabbis demonstration held this evening near Israel’s Supreme Court building. Here’s a link to the ynet story: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4090972,00.html – the numbers seem to have grown considerably since the even was first reported.
No Israel apologists to “explain” this away? Anyone?

The racist entity that is taking over Israel must be toppled
The atrocities in Libya send an unequivocal message to the world: Patriotism lies with democracy, not with the regime.
By Sefi Rachlevsky
The wretchedness of the law in the face of Rabbi Dov Lior has many meanings, and Lior’s refusal to be interrogated over his support for “The King’s Torah – The Laws for Killing Gentiles” – only marginally gets at the heart of the matter.
Thirty years ago, the terrorist organization known as the “Jewish Underground” was set up with the purpose of killing Arabs. The group’s head of operations, Menachem Livni – who was convicted on multiple counts of murder before being pardoned by the regime – testified at the time that the living spirit, the initiator, the religious instructor and the coordinator of the murders was Lior.
