One of the leading abusers of Jewish civil rights and propagators of injustice in Israel has struck again. The deceptively named Association of Civil Rights in Israel is now leading a campaign against Jews wishing to build homes in the Land of Israel.
But this time it’s not what you think. The villains at the ACRI aren’t fighting some building project in “the illegal settlements” in the West Bank, but the construction of an apartment building inside the State of Israel, in the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo no less.
That’s right. The ACRI is actually fighting the construction of an Israeli project
IN ISRAEL, IN TEL AVIV. They argue that the neighborhood, which is largely Arab, should not have Jews moving in.
What about Arabs living in Jewish areas? The ACRI has fought over the years (and won) legal battles enabling Arabs to live in Jewish communities. So what we see here cannot possibly have anything to do with equality or civil rights.
Let’s be honest and call them out for what they really are. The ACRI is a fascistic anti-Semitic organization which is against the Jewish state per se. This is beyond any leftwing-rightwing argument over the future of the West Bank, or legal arguments over its ownership. This goes beyond any reasonable argument and places these dangerous characters in the same category as the terrorists who seek Israel’s demise.
The anarchists in the ACRI, while posing as protectors of civil rights, have time and time again taken actions which violate Jewish civil rights and safety, including the opening of the Israeli 443 highway to Palestinian Authority Arabs despite the danger to every person who uses the road; the violence against Jews living in homes they recovered from Arab squatters in east Jerusalem; and now by struggling to prevent Jews from living on their own legally purchased property in Tel Aviv.
If these people lived anywhere else but Israel and were of any other nationality besides Jewish, we could call them anti-Semites and Nazis. It is outrageous that such an organization is allowed to exist in our country.

Jewish Skinheads
As reported here http://jewservative.blogspot.com/2009/12/special-place-in-hell.html at the end of December, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, or ACRI, is an unabashedly leftist organization which uses the guise of “civil rights” to pursue a rabidly anti-Israel agenda. In December it was their case in the Israeli Supreme Court to open up the Israeli-built 443 highway back up to Palestinian Authority traffic, despite the enormous security risk to Jewish drivers.
Lately the ACRI has worked on other projects, such as attempting to oust Jews who have come to reclaim property in historically-Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem that were stolen by Arabs. Following the invasion of Israel by 7 Arab nations, Jordan illegally seized control of east Jerusalem and expelled the Jewish inhabitants, a phenomenon which also occurred across the West Bank in places like Hebron, Neve Yaakov (now part of Jerusalem), Kaliya, and Gush Etzion, whose inhabitants were massacred in 1948.
Backed up by ownership papers and supported by the Israeli courts, Jews have begun to recover property stolen by Arabs in the Shimon HaTzaddik (or Sheikh Jarrah) neighborhood near the Old City.
The ACRI has helped squatting Arabs fight this historical justice tooth-and-nail both in the courts and now on the streets in the form of angry and often violent protests. The Jewish residents of the neighborhood have been forced to hire private security guards as police protection is often inadequate to protect them from the angry mobs incited by ACRI’s goons.
Given this, it was a very pleasant surprise Saturday night when I heard on the news that ACRI’s director, Haggai Elad, was arrested along with 14 other far-left activists and anarchists during an illegal protest outside of Jewish homes in Shimon HaTzaddik.
While the Israeli security apparatus is very eager to arrest Jews on the right of the political spectrum, it has given tremendous leeway to all but the most outrageous behavior of leftists. But I guess somewhere in the chain of command someone realized that this group is nothing but a gang of Judeo-Nazis, harassing Jewish civilians and using violence to prevent justice. Here is a visual example of their handiwork in front of a Jewish home:

A Special Place in Hell
I like to believe that there is a special place in hell for murderers and rapists.
I like to believe there is also one for people like Bernie Madoff who destroy lives and even charitable organizations to fund their lavish lifestyles. And I really, truly believe there is an extra special place in hell for a certain kind of liberal.
I definitely don’t mean all liberals; I don’t think that naïve ones who believe a welfare state is simply more likely to produce a stable economy are evil and I don’t think that liberals who were upset by the war in Iraq are bad. We have our differences, but that’s a far cry from believing them to be deeply sick, evil people.
There is, however, a certain strain of malevolent liberalism today that can be best termed “Exploitative Liberalism”. Exploitative Liberals are those leftists who have a pathological need to give to others, but do so at someone else’s expense. They are the ones who think it’s a moral imperative to spend YOUR tax dollars on education for illegal immigrants and sex-changes for employees of the City of San Fran-Sicko. They are the ones who want Affirmative Action to give minorities a leg-up in education and employment opportunities; leaving other more qualified students and job-seekers out in the cold. But they aren’t the liberals’ problem, and it doesn’t bother them so long as they help out whomever they feel deserves it.
What truly outraged me today, however, was a news item that hit closer to home, here in Israel. “The High Court on Tuesday ordered the opening of Road 443, the Modiin-Jerusalem road, to vehicles from the Palestinian Authority. The government was instructed to remove roadblocks preventing traffic from Arab villages along the road.”
For those of you outside of Israel, the 443 is the 2nd large traffic artery between the Tel Aviv area and Jerusalem, running through the Modiin bloc. It provides the 150,000 residents of the bloc with route into the two large Israeli metropolitan centers. From 2000, with the rise in Arab terror, the 443 became a shooting gallery for Palestinian Authority terrorists, leading the Israeli military to close the road to non-Israeli Arabs in 2002. Since then the freeway has been virtually terror-free and Israeli drivers, who literally travelled every day under the gun, could feel secure.
That was until today, however. Today the Israeli Supreme Court ruled in a split decision to open the road to Palestinian Authority traffic. The ruling was in response to a petition brought by Arabs in the region, and brought to court on their behalf by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel. The decision will force, in 5 months time, the army to abandon its safety precautions which brought security to the tens of thousands of Israelis who daily use the road to commute, myself included.
This is a classic, and dangerous, example of people who feel a need to help others, and do so at the expense of people they take for granted. People like the ACRI, which cares nothing about the fact that there are many more roads – built by Israel with Israeli taxes- that are Arab only, where Jews are banned from driving, despite the inconvenience caused by this separation, are selective about their help; help which comes at the price of danger and possible death for others. The ruling for the ACRI today came in the wake of the rejection by the Supreme Court of a similar request by Israelis to be allowed access to Arab roads, showing the bias of not only the ACRI but of the Supreme Court.
Such Exploitative Liberals most definitely deserve their own special residence in Gehinom.
