3. Israel: Right-Wing MK Calls to Arrest Leftists for “Treason” as Leftists call for Civil War By Richard Abelson
January 11, 2023 at 4:29pm – A Knesset member (MK) of Israel’s new patriotic government has called for Israel-hating leftist politicians to be arrested for “treason” because they are “talking about civil war”. A far-left former MK called for “a large-scale civil uprising.” Returning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for a softening of public discourse.
Yesterday, MK Tzvika Fogel of the Jewish Strength (Otzma Yehudit) party called for opposition MKs Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz, Yair Golan, and Moshe Ya’alon to be arrested for “treason.” “These four need to be arrested. They are the most dangerous people out there right now,” Fogel told Kan News on Tuesday evening.
“They are not talking about a demonstration, not about flags or anything else. They are now talking about civil war and calling for war. If they were calling for a demonstration, I would grant them the right to demonstrate. But they treat me as an enemy. This is treason against the state and this is grounds for arrest,” Fogel said, according to Arutz Sheva.
At a press conference with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the statement “unfortunate”, “I completely deny it.” Netanyahu also called on the opposition to desist from radical attacks on Justice Minister Yariv Levin, who wants to defang the leftist Supreme Court, which has usurped power over the other branches of government.
2. Why Israel’s Judicial Reforms are the Embodiment of Democracy by Hillel Fendel
Wednesday, January 11, 2023 – Once again, Israel features widely in the world media (tell me something I didn’t know…) – and this time because of the fear of its new judicial reforms. Some have gone so far as to call the new program, championed by new Justice Minister Yariv Levine, the “end of Israeli democracy” and similar apocalyptical forecasts.
The facts, of course, not only belie this unwarranted alarmism, but actually tell precisely the opposite picture. Let us therefore clear up the situation so that our readers abroad can know, and spread, the situation as it truly is.
1. WATCH: Israeli leader invites critics to visit West Bank [8:30] By Avi Yemini
Israel Ganz denied that Jews were occupiers in Israel and claimed that anyone familiar with the Bible would know that “most of the Bible stories happened here.” He went on to say that his mission was to provide services for everyone, regardless of their identity.
January 09, 2023 – Israel Ganz, the Governor of Binyamin Region in the West Bank has some advice for critics: Come and see what it’s like for yourselves.
I put the criticisms directly to him when I was in Israel recently, WATCH what he had to say and SHARE the video so others can see what it’s actually like in this much talked about part of the world.
Join me on this fact-finding mission at BibiReturns.com where I will share more reports from across Israel over the coming days.
[Ed.: It’s not the ‘West Bank’, it’s Judea Samaria, the birthplace of the Jewish People. Avi should know that, and probably does. This error was probably by one of his writing helpers.]
