Is the State of the Jews Jewish? (Manhigut Yehudit)
Excerpts;
On the holy day of Rosh Hashanah, police brutally attacked Jewish worshippers at the extension of the Western Wall known as the “Small Western Wall” and arrested a Jew for blowing the traditional shofar (ram’s horn). The last time that a Jew was arrested for blowing the shofar at the Western Wall was in the 1920’s, during the British Mandate. It seems that an Arab living near the Wall complained that the noise was disturbing her children. It makes no difference that the Moslem calls to prayer are blasted over loudspeakers throughout the Old City of Jerusalem and in many other places in Israel five times a day, including at about 4 a.m. Even if that disturbs the sleep of some Jews, it is freedom of religion. But if the Jews blow the shofar at 7:30 a.m., that is a crime. In the State of the elites, Jews do not necessarily have the right to practice their religion.
In another strange event this week, police paid a visit to the home of the Moskel family of Rehovot. The Moskel’s son, Refael, was killed in the recent fighting in Lebanon. The police were sent to ask the bereaved parents if they planned on disrupting the upcoming memorial service for fallen paratroopers with demands that Olmert, Peretz and Halutz resign. The surprised parents, who had previously protested against Olmert at a political meeting in Tel Aviv, were pained to discover that they had been marked as the enemy, as well. In the State of the elites, if you demand integrity, morality and responsibility, you are the enemy.
