Olmert lets go of democracy

[Pete the Greek]

I hope you're not attempting to claim that the one-sentence reply I gave to your question was "aggressive"? You'd have to be very thin-skinned to think that, wouldn't you my little Walls Sausage?

Must make your llife hell, that.

Do we retitle the thread 'Return of the Twazzock' or what ?

It's a shame posters constantly derail the threads due to either a dislike of the thread starter, or for 'baiting' or due to ideological bias; at least two of which, and probably the third, is in attendance here.

Pete:

Put aside you attitude and debate the point, not the man. So you don't like moono. So he is a single issue guy. So what? If your beloved Knesset is so democratic, you'll be able to prove this to him, and all the others who fit into the "most here agree with you" camp - unless, of course, that's another baiting ploy which you've just made up?

What about the OP, then Pete. What do you think, seeing as you claim to want to talk about it? Prove you aren't a troll by coming up with a response that involves the subject, and not the poster(s) here.

"The Shin Bet security service will thwart the activity of any group or individual seeking to harm the Jewish and democratic character of the State of Israel, even if such activity is sanctioned by the law," read the letter, sent by the Prime Minister's Office on behalf of the Shin Bet to editor Ala Hlehel.

'Thwart activity even if it is sanctioned by law'. The Greek is simply taking lessons from Hazbara Central.

Rights group: Shin Bet must not block legal political activity

By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent


The Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) on Thursday filed a petition to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz to order the Shin Bet to stop efforts to block what the group called legitimate political activity. The request comes in response to a letter the Shin Bet sent last week to a journal published by the predominantly Arab Balad party, warning that it would foil the activity of anyone seeking to harm Israel's Jewish or democratic character, even if that activity was carried out by legal means.

Diamonds in the dung.

The letter also said that the concept of freedom is a preeminent value of democracy, and from it derives the principle that all that is not explicitly prohibited must as such be permitted.


"If Israel's Palestinian citizens believe that the definition of the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people alone, or as the Jewish state, harms their right to be equal citizens in the country, they are permitted to take that position and to express it in any manner not explicitly prohibited by law," the letter said.

That does sound rather racist.
