Israeli Leftists: The New Terrorism

As tiny Israel confronts ongoing and growing hatred by Arabs both within and outside of the state, another enemy rises up to challenge the Jewish state. This foe has openly allied itself with anti-Semitic Arab rioters and terrorists, and has even at times explicitly promoted terrorism and murder of Jews.

Sadly, this new anti-Semitic threat is from Jews themselves. A small but noisy group of far-left Israelis of Jewish origin has taken the state of Israel – and the Jewish people – into its sights.

Represented by organizations hiding behind pluralistic-sounding slogans and titles such as “Peace Now” and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, these inciters to violence are little more than fascistic hooligans aping the Brown Shirts of the Nazi party in Germany before Hitler came to power.

Denied the right to expel Jews from their legally owned property in east Jerusalem by even the generally leftist Israeli court system, these vandals and thugs of the fascist-left now use harassment, riots, and violence to try and ethnically cleanse the Shimon HaTzaddik/Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jews.

Recently a mixed group of Arabs and leftists assaulted one Jewish home in the area, even going so far as to fire bullets at the house. When the perpetrator of the crime was arrested, the leftists of Peace Now and the ACRI actually protested the arrest.

Now, this Saturday night these same leftists have formed a mass rally outside of the Jewish homes with thousands of Arabs, in a demonstration of at least 3,000 people.
Such events do not occur in a vacuum however, and incitement from prominent figures like Zev Sternhell has thrown gas on the fire of leftwing fascism. Sternhell, a researcher of the roots of fascism is himself a practitioner of fascistic anti-Semitism and a bona fide Judeo-Nazi. He has openly praised the murder of Jews living outside of the Green Line and encouraged Arab terrorism there against Jews.

Given this background, it’s hard to condemn the 2008 attack on Mr. Sternhell with a pipe bomb which left the professor lightly injured.

Israel has, since its inception, struggled against Arab hatred. Perhaps it’s time to address the growing hatred on the part of Judeo-Nazis and leftwing fascists like Sternhell, the ACRI, and Peace Now.

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:
