Haaretz OpEd Calls to Attack Right-Wingers With Baseball Bats (Israel’s WaPo)

The way to deal with right-wing activists like Bentzi Gopshtain, according to radical leftist Nissan Schorr, is to attack him with a baseball bat. In fact, doing so is “my dream,” he wrote in left-wing paper Haaretz Wednesday.

“I would set up a militia and go out into the street with whiskey bottles and baseball bats, and look for Bentzi Gopshtain and his friends in the Lehava group, in order to release my anger on them,” he said. […]

Gopshtain, the chairman of anti-assimilation group Lehava, was summoned for questioning on Tuesday by the Judea-Samaria District Police, about his alleged comments regarding church arson. The summons comes following a complaint submitted by the Catholic Church in Israel on behalf of the Vatican, which accused Gopshtain of “incitement to violence,” for claiming it is permitted to burn churches under Jewish law. …

Left-wing Haaretz wants Israel wiped out more than the muslims do.

Israel haters love to quote Haaretz.

He sounds a lot like that Farakhan idiot. The police need to drag his rear in and have him explain his threats.

If the phrase “a pox on all their houses” were ever appropriate, this would be the place and time. Schorr, the guy who said he wanted to out into the street with baseball bats and whiskey bottles is an idiot (who probably wouldn’t know how to wield a baseball bat, and wouldn’t even have any idea what to do with a whiskey bottle, full or empty). Gopshtain, the moron he was threatening, who said it’s a good idea to burn churches, is also an idiot. Israel faces huge threats from . . . Christians? I don’t think so, and neither does any other significant number of Israeli Jews.

Notwithstanding the nonsense Gopshtain is spewing (and for which he is being universally denounced by Israelis across the political spectrum), Israel’s respect for the houses of worship of religions other than Judaism is exactly what Judaism demands, and it’s completely unique in the Middle East, and not exceeded anywhere else in the world. Given the tension that surrounds the Temple Mount, Israel’s concessions to the Muslims is vastly excessive. Those concessions are made because Israel doesn’t want to close off even that place from Muslim worship, and because the Muslims can’t share it (or anything else) with anyone else.

Christianity’s holy places, of course, are kept entirely safe and freely accessible by anyone. As long, of course, as the neighborhoods they’re in are controlled by Jews. When they are controlled by Arabs, guess what happens? Consider the Palestinian “fighters’” use of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem during the second Intidadah. Pass the fact that they ran in there to hide from the Israeli army, which was chasing them. They went in armed. They shot at the IDF from within the church. They took hostages (the Palestinians’ best argument was that the 200 monks were “voluntary hostages”).

Even the account in Wikipedia (not exactly a part of the Zionist Conspiracy to Manipulate the News) is pretty sad reading. See here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_the_Church_of_the_Nativity_in_Bethlehem

Among its findings — “Israeli riot police reported finding 40 explosive devices which had been left in the church by the Palestinians, several of them booby-trapped.”

Some young folks made fun of a bald man once, not long after a very important woman was eaten by dogs.
