Only in Israel But there is A difference

 

ACCORDING TO AN ISRAEL HaYom ARTICLE, The Supreme Court on Tuesday reversed the Central Elections Committee's decision to disqualify MK Hanin Zoabi (Joint Arab List) and far-right ‎activist Baruch Marzel (Yahad Haam Itanu) over their alleged incitement and racism.

One of the two wants to destroy Israel and turn it into "Greater Palestine" and has committed what in any other country would be considered treason.

The other candidate would like Israel to be "Arab-free."

The Israeli press tosses them into the same basket with the label "Extremists."

COWARDLY COURT

The article continues:

In what was an 8-1 decision, the court said Zoabi and Marzel would be eligible to run in the upcoming election despite their controversial conduct, although it did not elaborate on the specific allegations against them. In the majority opinion it was explained that in light of the constrained timetable --- with elections are less than a month away -- the rationale for the decision would be made available at a later date. (Emphasis mine.)

The Central Elections Committee, which unsuccessfully again tried to bar Zoabi from running - and was, once again, deterred by the Supremes - wanted to prevent Zioabi's candidacy for having voiced outspoken support for an armed struggle against Israel, noting that her behavior was a form of sedition and that she posed a threat to the state.

Zoabi was aboard the Mavi Marmara bringing weapons to Gaza and encouraged those aboard to resist Israeli military who ordered the ship to stop and be searched.

According to the Times of Israel, Zoabi

  *was under investigation for saying that the killers of three Israeli teens in June were not terrorists. She is also under investigation for accosting a police officer in Nazareth

  * Zoabi, who participated in the 2010 flotilla sail to Gaza organized by the Islamic IHH group in Turkey, recently angered right-wing lawmakers with articles she penned that they interpreted as advice to Hamas on how to defeat Israel and as a call for violence against Israel.

All Ms. Zoabi wants to do is destroy Israel and send it back to its pre-1948 status.

ON THE OTHER HAND, Israel HaYom reports,

The Coalition against Racism in Israel criticized the court's decision to greenlight Marzel's candidacy. "Unfortunately, the Supreme Court paved the way for (Rabbi Meir) Kahane to return to the Knesset," the groups said in a statement, referring to the leader of the Kach party who was assassinated in 1990. "Marzel has stated that he no longer subscribes to Kach's ideology but these declarations are nothing more than lip service. We believe the Israeli public will vote against racism and in favor of democracy, " the statement continued.

According to Wikipedia,

Baruch Meir Marzel is an Israeli politician. Marzel, an American-born Orthodox Jew, lives in the Jewish community of Hebron in Tel Rumeida with his wife and nine children. He was the leader of the far right-oriented Jewish National Front party. He is now a member of Otzma Yehudit. He claims he was the "right hand man" of assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, acting as spokesman for the American rabbi's Kach organization for ten years until it was outlawed in Israel and the US as a terrorist organization. The mainstream Israeli press regularly describes him as an "extreme right-wing activist". The "main stream" Israeli press is not identified.

Strange bedfellows before the Supremes,

U.S. on the Med Israel Supreme Court Welcomes illegals To other's neighborhoods

 

Citizens: Are we not human beings too?

 

Following in the unwise steps of the U.S., Israel's Supreme Court struck down a law to detain and deport illegal immigrants. Now the invasion will take over south Tel Aviv where no justices reside.

In a Times of Israel article heded In dramatic ruling, High Court rejects Israel’s policies on illegal migrants, we learn that In a landmark ruling, the High Court of Justice knocked down the Knesset’s “infiltrator law” on Monday, declared that the practice of holding African migrants in facilities in southern Israel for up to a year was illegal, and ordered the state to shutter the contested Holot center within 90 days

The ruling may jeopardize the Court's authority as some Knesset members vow to disregard the ruling.

Lame duck Interior Minister Gideon Sa’ar said he could “not accept the verdict of the High Court,” which, if implemented, would mean “we won’t have a Jewish democratic state because our borders will be overrun… with illegal infiltrators.” He said the court had “made a mistake” and that the Knesset would now have to pass legislation preventing the High Court from intervening on the issue.

Sa'ar's only concern seems to be demographics. The people of southern Tel Aviv object to the illegals roaming freely in their neighborhoods because, they claim, many of the illegals are committing crimes - theft and rape among them.

According to the Times article, The court decision adopted the position of human rights groups and shot down an appeal submitted on behalf of the residents of southern Tel Aviv, where many migrants live and where veteran residents claim they fear for their safety. The court maintained that the extended detention of migrants was a violation of their rights.

Housing Minister Uri Ariel, of the Orthodox-nationalist Jewish Home party, said the High Court “broke a new record today on turning its back on the state of Israel.”

Jewish Home MK Ayelet Shaked, who heads the Knesset caucus on migrants, declared: “Today the lives of hundreds of thousands of Israelis were destroyed.”

A statement from the Israeli Immigration Policy Center maintained the decision “put an end to the hopes of the residents of south Tel Aviv, and to any process of removing the infiltrators."

In a related Times of Israel article, Shlomo Maslawi, leader of the Ganei HaTikvah Neighborhood Association, said, “The High Court revealed its insensitivity and accepted the appeals of human rights organizations. Are we not human beings too? Now why would the infiltrators ever leave?” Gila, another resident of south Tel Aviv, said, “This was heaven here before the Eritreans and Sudanese arrived.”

Apparently the Israeli justices take their lead from U.S. politicians and courts which have, for several administrations, made illegals legal by the swipe of a pen or a fiat from on high.

In the U.S., most of the illegals - to be politically correct, undocumented aliens - cross the border for a better life; few are - or at least were - Islamist terrorists.

In the U.S., most illegals find work and avoid criminal activities.

In the U.S., residents (except in New York City) are allowed to arm themselves to protect life and property; that is NOT the case in Israel where residents are defenseless; like New York City, only the terrorists and criminals can have weapons.

At least the U.S. is big enough to absorb the illegals; it is able to add more burdensome taxes on the legal residents to feed, house, teach, and provide medical care for the illegals. Israel is about the size of New Jersey. It already taxes its population for socialized everything and for a huge defense budget; New Jersey at least doesn't have a defense budget to worry the taxpayers.

When a court starts putting invaders ahead of the citizens rights and safety, something is wrong with the court and it needs to be abolished and re-established with a mandate to provide justice for all - not just illegal immigrants, criminals, and terrorists.
