"Without justice for the Palestinians there will be no peace in the Middle East."

The Insect Court posted:

Legally, probably nothing, given that I already said I am hesitant to toss religious figures and political leaders into jail cells for anything short of what are very clear acts of incitement in the criminal sense.

So, where does it become 'incitement in the criminal sense'? Bear in mind an Israeli (Palestinian) child has just been arrested for some Facebook posts.

Earlier today a terrorist in the west bank attacked and attempted to stab Rabbi Arik Asherman of "Rabbis for Human Rights":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agqi6akkc20

Yes, the terrorist is a settler and the police released a statement that Rabbi Asherman staged a violent provocation against settlers. Rabbi Asherman and other members of Rabbis For Human Rights went to the village of Awata to help Palestinian farmers to harvest olives from their orchards, which is clearly dangerous incitement worthy of getting beaten and almost stabbed over. This sorta poo poo happens almost every day.

Are you saying that the metric fuckton of anti-Arab racism coming from Likud and other such parties stained/stains the cause of Israeli nationalism, along with more extreme groups like the settlers and those who defend them?

On a different subject, I am trying to understand what the justification is for demolishing the homes of people who are A) merely related to someone accused of a crime, and B) not in Israeli territory. It can't be a legal action, since it isn't within Israeli jurisdiction. It can't be a moral thing, as it is targeting people for merely being related to someone who has committed a crime or been accused of committing a crime. It can't be as a deterrent, because if that were the case you would think we would have seen evidence that it works as a deterrent, when it seems to do the opposite. I am trying to figure out why the targeting of civilians is somehow okay in these cases.

Remember earlier I mentioned that a kid had been arrested for a Facebook post? Well, turns out the only democracy in the Middle East has arrested three kids for that and imprisoned them without trial. The father of one of the dead attackers has also been imprisoned without trial for daring to protest withholding of his son's corpse. Two Israeli courts ordered his release so boom, out come the administrative detention orders.

So you were just bullshitting when you talked about wanting to see anyone who explicitly or even implicitly supported or justified violence arrested and locked up?

At least when you talked about applying it equally to everyone. I don't see you reconsidering your position on locking up rabbis for incitement.

You don't see the difference between kids being arrested and imprisoned without trial/charges, and wanting a (presumably) adult rabbi to face charges for the specific crime of incitement?

Go back and read what I've said on the topic. I've talked about investigating, arresting and charging and where necessary putting on (fair) trial. I don't talk about imprisoning children without trial. I don't talk about imprisoning someone for requesting his son's corpse without trial and after two courts have already ordered his release.

Are you just so inured to the idea of locking up Palestinians without trial you assume that everyone thinks imprisonment without fair trial (or even charge) is the norm?

Oh, I see. You want them arrested, tried, and imprisoned for incitement, but draw the line at 'administrative detention'? In other words, you still want Palestinians who encourage attacks locked up, you just have concerns about some procedural issues? I assume we can hold you to that and you won't just find another reason to move the goalposts? Are you going to criticize the PA for not arresting and charging imams for incitement?

Can I assume you oppose just as strongly the administrative detention of Jewish terrorists? Will you call for the release of settler extremists detained without charges?

For what it's worth reasonable people generally do not believe that being detained without charges is a good thing.

This is called "The Law".

It's an amazing thing that you should probably be more versed in.

I'd have supported not keeping Adolf Eichmann detained without any charges levelled against him, because when you have one law for one person, and another for a different, then you're going down a very dangerous road that will not end well for anyone.

It's perfectly consistent to think that it is ok to lock someone up if they have been charged with or convicted of a crime but not if they haven't. In fact this is (theoretically) pretty much the entire basis of western legal systems.

I'm fairly sure most people objecting to e.g. the indefinite detention of people at Guantanamo Bay would not have objected so strongly if they had been imprisoned for life after being convicted of a crime at a fair trial.

In entirely different news, since Economy Minister Aryeh Deri refuses to use his unique powers to fast-track the approval of the current gas exploitation and revenue framework signed with Nobel Energy for fields off of Israel's Mediterranean coast, Netanyahu plans to have him resign his post --- and speaking to Israel's "Meet the Press", Deri has expressed a willingness to do so --- leaving Netanyahu as acting minister so he can do it instead. This is the head of a pivotal partner in the coalition (that's all of them, due to the razor-thin margin it has), so he must be getting something out of it either for himself or for Shas's political machine.

No it wouldn't. It would in fact, be very easy to call them democratic and legally sanctioned. Stomping on black people has a long and proud history in America that binds the nation together as they vote democratically to keep them niggers in line somewhere far away from the ballot box.

Of course, there are very obvious objections to administrative detention(in Israel or elsewhere). It's just that it's a staggeringly obvious dodge when H.X. implies he wants Israeli police tossing Arab-Israelis in jail for Facebook posts supporting the current wave of 'resistance' as long as certain basic procedural safeguards are met. If he thinks that the people responsible for social media posts like these belong in jail, then it hasn't been very apparent given the nonstop link spam of "evil Rabbi says a thing" posts.

All I'm saying is that if someone is champing at the bit to lock up rabbis who say things like "It's acceptable to kill disabled terrorists" must either also insist that any Muslim religious authority who says something along the lines of "It's acceptable to carry out attacks against Jewish civilians" belongs in an Israeli prison(as long as they get arrested by Israeli police and convicted by Israeli courts), or by definition then it's not the content of the speech that is disturbing but the identity of speaker.

Your example was in Gaza. If any imam within Israel said anything similar, they would in fact be in an Israeli prison. Radical Muslim groups within Israel such as the Islamic Movement are very careful to couch their rhetoric in generalities; members who fail to do so (such as Raed Salah) run the risk of imprisonment for incitement. Unlike your example of "evil rabbis who said a thing" and are free to do so, because, hey, it's not like Arabs count.
