Het was een paar maanden geleden feest onder antiziosemieten toen er in Israel een boek verscheen waarin werd uitgelegd dat Joden volgens de Torah niet-Joden mochten doden. Zij hadden immers altijd al beweerd dat het jodendom een religie is die discrimineert en zich verheven voelt boven de goyem, en dat dat ook de 'Apartheid' in Israel mede verklaart. De vele kritiek op dit boek in Israel zelf werd vervolgens genegeerd, net als naar ik aanneem het feit dat tegen een belangrijke rabbijn die dit boek steunt een rechtszaak dient en zelfs een arrestatieverzoek is ingediend omdat hij weigerde om voor de rechter te verschijnen. Dus nee, niet alleen links wordt in Israel aangepakt wanneer het opruiende taal uitslaat en de vrijheid van meningsuiting wordt misbruikt om haat te prediken. Ik hoop dat men meer extremistische rabbijnen voor de rechter daagt.

The police have issued an arrest warrant for Dov Lior, the head rabbi of Kiryat Arba and a senior figure in religious Zionism. The warrant follows the rabbi's refusal to appear for questioning on the support he gave for the controversial book "Torat Hamelech," which justifies killing non-Jews.
The commander of the Hebron police visited Lior's home several days ago and informed him that there was an arrest warrant against him. The rabbi told the officer that he will not take part in the dishonoring of the Torah and that he would not show up for questioning by the police, which he claimed was aimed at "silencing rabbis."
In November 2009, rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur published "Torat Hamelech" which discusses the conditions according to Jewish law under which one may kill gentiles. A criminal investigation ensued as a result of the book's publication.
Both Lior and Rabbi (and former Shas MK ) Yaakov Yosef, who also supported the book, refused to cooperate with police, issuing a letter instead stating that the Torah is not subject to police investigations. People close to Lior expressed outrage at the arrest warrant.
"The state prosecution and police have the audacity to issue an arrest warrant for a great Torah figure," one person said. "The purpose of the questioning, like that of dozens of rabbis in recent months, is to silence them. Whoever closes the cases against the heads of the Arab community who call for the destruction of the State of Israel or leftist professors in academia who call for harming IDF soldiers should think twice before issuing an arrest warrant against Rabbi Lior."
Sources close to the rabbi said that "he is adamant about not appearing at the questioning on his own accord in order to put an end to the persecution of the Torah and bolster other rabbis."
MK Michael Ben-Ari (Habayit Hayehudi ) also backed the rabbi, calling the warrant "a travesty."
"This is a regime of fear and one wonders where have all the left wingers gone, who just a few days ago spoke of being silenced," he said. "The issuance of an arrest warrant against a great Torah figure of such magnitude, when all this is about is the backing he gave to a book, is a crossing of a red line, McCarthyism ... Would they have behaved this way against an academic of the left?"
