1. Mister Apartheid, the Peace Now professor, calls the campaign finance criminal kettle black

Amiram Goldblum, ultra-leftist anti-Israel founder of 'Peace Now' and lobbyist for the suppression of Israeli democracy so the most extreme leftist 2% of the population can impose their opinions on the rest of the country, the guy who cannot write the word Israel without adding the word apartheid, the sidekick of BDS war lord Alon Liel, is upset at Naftali Bennett.

On his facebook page this week https://www.facebook.com/amiram.goldblum?fref=ts, Goldblum claims falsely that Bennett personally finances the "plants" publicity campaign of the Im Tirtzu students, for which he wants the police to investigate and indict Bennett. Even if the charge were true, this is a crime only in the mind of a leftist anti-democratic 'plant' who opposes freedom of speech!! Goldblum also kvetches that Bennett was slapped with a fine because he co-mingled funds for primary elections in his party with those for the general election, a heinous crime in the eyes of Mister Apartheid Goldblum.

The one thing Goldblum forgot to note is that HE HIMSELF was indicted for violation of Israeli campaign financing laws. The criminal proceedings against him were later "frozen," meaning the leftist Attorney General decided not to pursue the case against the 'Peace Now' provocateur. But the indictment stood. See

2. You know how the mainstream media like to chant that Jerusalem is the holy city for three religions, and it is the third holiest site for Islam? How peace requires that Moslems get hegemony over at least half the city, including the whole Old City? How the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the emotional nucleus for all Arabs?
Well the University of Jordan in Jordan (Israeli unoccupied territories) ran a survey among youths in the kingdom and asked them what the Al Aqsa Mosque is. Over 60% did not know.
AL WHO??

3. The chattering classes of the educational and 'intellectual' establishment are having conniptions because the Minister of Culture in Israel wants to deny governmental funding to producers of treasonous film, art, and theater. They can still make films accusing Israel of being a Nazi or apartheid regime, they just can't get taxpayer funds for it. Let them try to peddle their treason as art in the marketplace! [For those who respond that no film or art at all should be funded by the government and that would alleviate all the objections, you have my full agreement.]
Fascism, scream the leftwing fascists, how dare the government use the purse strings to impose ideological consensus!
One little point. The people so upset and mouth-foaming at this have always been the first to demand that denial of access to the public purse be the first rule of policy needed to coerce ultra-Orthodox religious schools to teach the core curriculum of math, english, computers, etc.
Sauce for the lemming...

6. When every second word spoken by an Israeli leftist is "fascism," it behooves us to recall this quote:

1. Beware Textbooks that Dare to Tell the Truth

By Steven Plaut

The anti-democratic Left in Israel is so deeply wedded to its theological catechism regarding the Rabin assassination that it is prepared to trash a school textbook that dares to mention that there are some who dissent from the prevailing leftist McCarthyism.

For two decades the Left has been reciting the mantra that the killing of Rabin by assassin Yigal Amir was caused by "incitement," by which the Left means non-leftists exercising their freedom of speech. The Right called Rabin names and later he was killed, and in the 'minds' of the Left this constitutes proof. Of course the Supreme Court forced Rabin to import expelled terrorists from Lebanon into Israel before the assassination so how do we know THAT did not cause the assassination?

Political discourse had been vulgar and shrill in Israel before the Rabin murder and ever since Independence but never produced assassination. But why let facts get in the way of political theology? Leftists in Israel use language far worse than Rightists. For example, on his Facebook page the 'Peace Now' professor Amiram Goldblum every day denounces those Israelis with whom he disagrees as Nazis, including those who brazenly wave Israeli flags (http://isracampus.org.il/third%20level%20pages/HebrewU%20-%20Amiram%20Goldblum%20-%20Jerusalem%20Day%20JudeoNazis.htm ).

Minister of Education Bennett is preparing to introduce a new civics textbook into the school curriculum. It is quite diverse and well balanced, fairly presenting opposing views in the text on all matters of debate and controversy in Israel.

But the book-burning Left is aghast and wants the book, er, burned. It seems the book mentions that the past Attorney General, leftist Manny Mazuz, says there is no proof that "incitement" caused the Rabin assassination. How dare the book cite someone telling the truth!! There are a few other instances of departure from political correctness that also enrage the persons of red. See http://www.timesofisrael.com/bennett-spurns-reports-of-factually-and-morally-wrong-civics-textbook/ . The other evidence the Left has is that Stalinist Ayman Odeh, head of the Joint (Arab) List, does not like the book. "This book is a continuation of the government campaign of incitement against Arab citizens," he said. "It is a mixture of lies and hatred." Meretz' chairwomen Zehava Galon claims there is a distinction made in the book between 'bad Arabs' and 'good Arabs' who are loyal and serve in the IDF." She evidently wants the stabbers of Jewish mothers to be considered good Arabs also.

The Left is screaming "politicization," but for years the Left managed to get its own biased texts introduced as textbooks. Its jihad for and against textbooks is hardly neutral.

Just witness the conniptions the Left had last week when Bennett declined to adopt as a classroom text a novel romanticizing Jewish-Arab intermarriage and smearing Israeli soldiers. 'Censorship,' bellow the reds. Except no one is preventing the publication of that book or anyone reading it. It is simply not being used as a classroom text. Neither is Bibi Netanyahu's own book.

Past Israeli governments tried to adopt textbooks that declared Israel's existence a catastrophe and even compared that Arab 'Nakba' to the Holocaust. See this http://isracampus.org.il/third%20level%20pages/HaifaU%20-%20Tsafrir%20Goldberg%20-%20campaign%20to%20teach%20Nakba%20and%20Ethnic%20Cleasning.htm

But the leftist "theory" about "incitement" by non-leftists is unchallengeable gospel among the chattering classes of Israel. Like in medieval Europe, challenging leftist theology will get you indicted before the Left's Inquisition, its captive media.

2. HUMAN RIGHTS?

No one is under the delusion that any of those leftist "human rights" NGOs operating in Israel gives a damn about the human rights of Jews and certainly not about their human right to defend themselves against genocidal Islamofascism.

But it turns out they also do not care at all about the human rights of Palestinians!! If they did, they would all be calling for liberating the Palestinians from the control of the PLO and the Hamas. But not a single leftist "human rights" NGO does so.
So if they do not care about the human rights of anyone, just what DO they want?

Simple, grasshopper. They want to harm and demonize Israel, to weaken and destroy it.

The administration there coddles the totalitarians in the name of liberal arts.

My favorite atrocity coming out of Oberlin is the proclamation by the Mau Mau that the Holocaust constituted "white on white crime."

1. Oy to those who depart from the Leftist party line!!

Just when you think Israel's leftwing fascists cannot sink any lower.

They are hysterical because investigative journalist Ilana Dayan outed their beloved poster boy Ezra Nawi, the murderer pedophile who helped the PLO's Gestapo murder Arabs who did business with Jews. Instead of repudiating Nawi, the Left is circling the wagons to celebrate and defend him, at the same time trying to demonize Dayan. Ilana Dayan is herself well left of center, but she made the sin of breaking ranks with the Left and exposing the murderer Nawi. So this week the Left is circulating a poster of Hitler presenting Dayan with a bouquet of flowers. You can see the photo below.

The leftists are also chanting in uniform that Dayan behaved like the Stasi, the former East German secret police. Note how every single one is saying Stasi and not, say, the KGB. It illustrates deliciously how the Left works: one person posts something and then all the rest fall in line, repeat the exact same words, toe the party line, in herd behavior.

Now for 20 years the Left and its captive media have chanted in unison that Yitzhak Rabin was murdered because the Right produced a poster of Rabin in Nazi uniform - never mind that it turned out it was actually produced by the Shin-Bet agent who had infiltrated the lunatic Right as a mole provocateur. So now we have the Left producing an equivalent poster and no one is demanding arrests for 'incitement.' Suddenly incitement is NOT a cause of political murder after all. Suddenly the judicial Left does not regard use of Nazi imagery to be beyond the realm of protected speech.

1. The Left, led by the Palestinian newspaper printed in Hebrew, Haaretz, is soiling its red diapers in outrage because some entrepreneurial 'right-wingers' collected intelligence about the anti-Israel seditious activities of the mega-leftist attorney Michael Sfard by going through his garbage. A fascist invasion of his privacy, whines the Left in 3-part harmony. How dare anyone investigate him for treason by going through his trash? Sfard filed a criminal complaint against the perps for their trashspecting.

And then to top it all off, the Haaetz 'newspaper article' (http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.698201) denouncing the evil rightists for trash espionage against Sfard is written by Haaretz writer Uri Blau, who himself was indicted (and pled out) for anti-Israel espionage in the Anat Kamm affair (see http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4236080,00.html ).

2. The Messiah must be nigh because I keep agreeing with some Haaretz writers. The Palestinian newspaper printed in Hebrew keeps running Op-Eds by leftist cranks proposing that leftists secede from Israel and set up their own state or community or entity. See http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.694223.

And I am all for it! A REAL 2-state solution!!

The leftists can declare independence and implement socialism and build a gulag and ration food and everything else and be equal and proclaim minimum wages at $50 per hour so no one will be employed and prohibit dissent from socialism and wave red flags and...

4. Israel has to decide what to do with the 15 year old Amalekite who murdered the mother of six. No, the government will not execute him. But I have the answer!
Lock him up in the same cell with Ezra Nawi, the leftist murderer pedophile.
Let them play Hide the Zoglobek!!

5. AMI AYALON GETS MUGGED BY REALITY
(Ayalon is currently chairman of board of University of Haifa and guy who ruled that Nobelist Robert Aumann cannot get an honorary PhD because he holds the wrong opinions)
Lobbyist for the Palestinian agenda runs up against the very groups he ordinarily supports:

https://richardmillett.wordpress.com/2016/01/19/police-prevent-activists-smashing-into-ami-ayalon-talk-at-kings/

Police prevent activists smashing into Ami Ayalon talk at King's.

I was patiently queuing for Ami Ayalon's joint KCL and LSE Israel Societys' talk outside the Norfolk Building of King's College, London tonight. I had arrived early and was near the front of the queue but soon the doors were closed as the room held only 50.

50 to 60 people were left shut outside on the street, among them 15 fuming anti-Israel activists who had planned to get in and disrupt the talk.

These activists from SOAS, KLC and LSE Palestine Societies had already handed out leaflets attacking Ami Ayalon and Israel. But with their being shut outside chaos ensued with the police being called.

Ayalon was head of Israel's Shin Bet between 1996 and 2000 and then served as a Labour MK. He also launched a peace initiative called The People's Voice. He's now in the UK being whisked around by Yachad to give various talks, the gist of which seem to be Israel needs to mend its ways.

The activists' leaflets, after falsely incriminating Ayalon and Shin Bet in war crimes, accused Ayalon of being "overtly racist" for supporting a two state solution because this implies "Israeli Jews must always be a majority…due to a fear of losing the ethnic and colonial supremacy Israel has enjoyed since 1948".

As soon as the doors shut the frustrated anti-Israel activists pounded the doors and the windows looking into the talk. They screamed "Free Free Palestine", "Viva Viva Palestina" and "From the River to the Sea Palestine will be free" and smashed a window.

They then climbed the windows to unfurl a banner. A fire alarm was set off and eventually police vans and police cars pulled up and 20 police constables protected the building.

Ayalon's talk lasted an hour. Ironically, Ayalon was talking in front of a white board describing the rules for "safe spaces" at universities. But there is no "safe space" for an Israeli-Jew at British universities.

Maybe after tonight so-called peaceniks like Ayalon will realise that Israeli Jews like himself are not hated for the way he thinks they behave but simply for who they are; citizens of the Jewish state.

Leftist McCarthyism in Israel Funded by Soros and Other US Leftists

By Steven Plaut

In its latest act of illicit intervention in Israeli public life, the foreign (mainly U.S.)-funded "New Israel Fund" (where their 'New Israel" means Palestine) has filled the Israeli press and the country's billboards with a McCarthyist anti-democratic vilification poster that essentially endorses all who seek to deny freedom of speech in Israel to non-leftists.

It is the NIF's response to the campaign by the student Zionist movement Im Tirtzu against 'Shtulim' (plants) in Israel, meaning foreign-funded anti-Israel subversives. In the NIF ad, it shows Yitzhak Rabin with the slogan "THEY already took care of that plant," meaning "THEY" collectively murdered Rabin. By THEY the NIF does not mean Yigal Amir and his brother. It means all Israeli critics of the left.

For decades, the mantra of Israel's anti-democratic left has been that Rabin's death was caused by the exercise of freedom of speech by non-leftists in Israel, especially when they criticized Rabin and called him names. Their conclusion is that criticism of the left by non-leftists is a clear and present danger that produces murder and so must be suppressed. Just how they know that assassin Yigal Amir's behavior was not caused by his attending law school has never been explained. In any case, the catechism of the left, which includes most journalists, is that the Rabin murder was caused by "incitement." Curiously, they are not reminding people what Rabin really thought of leftist NGO B'tselem!

It is hard for people outside Israel to appreciate just how hostile the Israeli media and much of the public are to freedom of speech. This hostility is manifested in the "incitement" bogeyman. One cannot read five lines in the anti-Israel leftist daily Haaretz without seeing screaming warnings and condemnations of "incitement" – meaning criticism of the left by non-leftists. In other newspapers, the count is not far behind.

Likud is almost as much to blame for this as the left. Likud invariably responds to charges from the left about "incitement" by yelling back in sandbox-manner that the left are the real inciters – instead of demanding that the word "incitement" be removed altogether from Israeli discourse.

"Incitement" is a nonsense word that simply refers to the expression of opinions that someone dislikes. When the left says "incitement," it means criticism of the left. When the right says "incitement," it means expressions of opinions by the left. It is a demonstration of the weakness of the commitment to democracy on the part of so much of the Israeli public that so many Israelis accept it as axiomatic that "incitement" is and should be a crime.

In real democracies, "incitement" is not a crime at all, or at most is used as an additional charge to up the ante when someone is indicted for a real crime. Murderers facing trial for murder might face the additional charge of incitement to murder, but they would never be charged with incitement alone, without the murder charge. Ditto for bank robbers and rapists.

After the Rabin assassination, the Israeli Labor Party and its captive media invented the myth that murderer Yigal Amir did what he did because he was "incited" to do so. Never mind that Amir himself says he was not. That closed the case in the "minds" of the left, proving that "incitement" by right-wingers causes murder. Of course for the 50 years before that, Israel's left, right and center every day engaged in "incitement" far worse than anything preceding the Rabin assassination, and no one was assassinated. Ben Gurion with his shrieks that Begin was a Nazi was probably the worst of the inciters, and the Knesset protocols of the 1950s and '60s are endless litanies of "incitement."

Since 1995 the left grew accustomed to silencing its critics with some success by screaming "incitement." Not a single law professor in Israel has denounced the anti-democratic McCarthyism in the jihad against "incitement." It goes without saying that none of the "human rights" NGOs ever took a stand against criminalizing "incitement," nor defended free speech rights for non-leftist "inciters." Even the ACLU in the U.S. defends the free speech rights of fringe groups, but not a single NGO in Israel claiming to be the Israeli analogue of the ACLU will defend free speech rights of the "right."

Into all this steps the New Israel Fund, using funds raised from people protected by the First Amendment and living in a country where they enjoy freedom of speech. It places gutter ads in Israel denouncing the exercise of freedom of speech by "THEM" – speech it insists resulted in Rabin's murder. The thousands of people whose murder was preceded by Arab incitement to murder are not considered by the NIF a reason to restrict freedom of speech or even to protest the murders. The NIF would be the first to defend Ezra Nawi, the leftist accomplice of the PLO's Gestapo, who not only incited, but also murdered people.

The left-wing NGOs funded by the NIF have virtually no local support in Israel. They are propped up using the NIF contributions from the ilk of George Soros and the Ford Foundation.

The McCarthyist ad campaign by the NIF is the best and most persuasive argument that could be found to support and endorse the current bill before the Israeli parliament that will regulate foreign-funded subversive NGOs in Israel.

2. Speaking on the Galei Zahal radio station, Meretz chief bolshevik Zehava Galon says that they who know how to infiltrate organizations also know how to short circuit wires. She is referring to the people who infiltrated the subversive leftist NGOs B'tselem and Taayoush to film their beloved pedophile member bragging about how he murders Palestinians who do business with Jews. Fire department experts notwithstanding, Sister Galon is still claiming that the fire last week in B'tselem's office was arson and not an electrical short circuit.

For which the only appropriate response is this: Those whose notions of democracy are derived from the people who burned down the Reichstag have no problem fabricating other charges of arson.

Dafna Meir was home with her children when the savage broke in to her home. She had 6 kids, two of them foster children. She struggled with the barbarian to protect her kids, as he stabbed her to death in front of the children, Nazi-style. She was 38. The murderer got away and PLO chief Abbas will proclaim him a hero, as the Israeli Left again proclaims Abbas a peace partner..

The Lord Haw Haw of Israel, Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy, crayoned a column this week in which he endorsed the Swedish Foreign Minister's claim that Israel summarily executes Palestinians. Why should Israel shoot Palestinians holding knives and attempting to murder Jews?, he snorts. It is not like Jews are humans and Jewish lives worth anything.

If the murderer of Dafna Meir had been shot dead as he attacked her in front of her children, Levy would denounce Israel for the barbaric unjustified execution of the terrorist. What about his rights? What about a Miranda warning, a lawyer, a fair trial? A free subscription to Haaretz?

And what about all those innocent SS officers killed in WWII by Allied aggressors, summarily bombed to death with not so much as a Miranda warning?

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4754395,00.html

Dafna Meir, the mother of six murdered yesterday, composed a prayer, published on her blog, based on her experiences in distributing medications to neurosurgery patients at Soroka Hospital (my translation):

May it be Your will, oh Lord, Who created the world and runs it with mercy and grace, that You bless me with the power to distribute medication to Your people of Israel who are in need of salvation, as well as to members of other peoples, under the care of Your faithful servants who perform sacred duties by day and by night, on sabbath and holidays, ceaselessly.

Let me be blessed to comprehend, to understand and to remember at all times that medication is a gift from You and work thanks to You. Let me be blessed to see their effects and to rejoice… Let me be blessed in learning to empathize with the sufferings of patients and let me serve in good health to help them with the tools You provide every day. Amen.

1. Tel Aviv University's bolshevik idea of academic freedom:

https://behindthenewsisrael.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/tel-aviv-university-allows-breaking-the-silence-bans-likud/

Tel Aviv University, long time host to Stalinism events, hosts 'Breaking the Silence' conference while prohibiting similar conference for student groups from the 'right'

Breaking the Silence and Meretz have announced that it will hold an event at Tel Aviv University next Sunday, in which its members will read out testimonies of soldiers to showcase alleged crimes and unethical behavior on the part of the IDF.

In response, students associated with the Likud and Im Tirtzu activist group requested permission to hold a counter-event and read out testimonies highlighting soldiers' ethics. Surprisingly, the dean of students responded tersely: "The event will not be permitted on this date," with no further explanation provided. Instead, she suggested that they hold their protest on another date.

The head of the university's branch of Likud, Hodaya Shahar, has strongly criticized the university's conduct. "Under the auspices of free speech, the dean of students, Professor Tova Most, permits students with Meretz and the radical left group Breaking the Silence to hold events, so why does she not also permit events by the Likud and other right-wing groups? Is there free speech and free assembly only for one side of the political map at Tel Aviv University?"

Shahar added: "The dean of students' decision to prevent us from holding an alternative event, a demonstration in support of IDF soldiers, is a badge of shame for the university, which allows only one side to express itself and does not contribute to a balanced discourse on campus.

"I call on Tel Aviv University to allow free speech and pluralism, for which it is so proud, also for right-wing students, who do not agree with the political opinions of Meretz and the group Breaking the Silence, despite the support that they receive from the university. My friends and I will continue to fight for our rights to express our opinions in public, and for the dean of students to reconsider her decision."

Shahar is not alone in her struggle. The president of the student government has offered to help and MK Miki Zohar (Likud) has also stepped into the controversy. "Tel Aviv University must return step back from its decision and allow equal and fair free speech for all sides. The decision to prevent the Likud group at Tel Aviv University from fulfilling its legitimate right to protest is a form of silence and it must be canceled immediately."

Most universities in Israel allow students to hold political protests. Just this past October, Arab students at Tel Aviv University protested against Israel Police because police officers were killed terrorists at the scene of their attacks. In this case, Im Tirtzu and other students were freely permitted to hold a counter-protest.

Breaking the Silence held a similar event at Hebrew University last month, and the institution allowed protesters to express their disagreement.

2. PPPSSSTTT!! PASS IT ON. THE FIRE IN B'TSELEM OFFICES WAS CAUSED BY ALL THE YAHRZEIT CANDLES THEY LIT THERE IN MEMORY OF NASHAT MELHAM, THE TERRORIST WHO SHOT UP DIZENGOFF STREET

3. More Tel Aviv University bolshevism:

Writing in Haaretz, Professor Mordecai Kremnitzer, of Tel Aviv University, of B'tselem and darling of the leftist 'Israel Democracy Institute,' attacks Ilana Dayan for reporting the Ezra Nawi story because she embarrassed the Left. Telling the truth about Nawi is like the dirty work done by the Stalinist secret police, he writes, and no he did not mean that as a compliment. The TV show served to rally public anger against the Left, whines the professor, and that is unforgivable. Nawi murdering people is a matter of no interest. http://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/.premium-1.2820550

4. Yes I know you are still recovering from the Ezra Nawi story but I think you need to know about the next great role model of the Israeli Left.
It is Natali Cohen Vaxberg, a leftist 'artist.' She composed a great contribution to the world of art consisting of a video clip of herself squatting and relieving herself on an Israeli flag. She did the same with other flags as well. Her kennel owner evidently never managed to potty train her. Will the Louvre be interested?
Just free speech, bleat the same Leftists who want everyone arrested who attended that wedding in which young hooligans danced with guns and stabbed a photo.
The police are investigating her, (see http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.697107) but leftist vermin like she are never indicted.
Donations of Huggies may be sent to B'tselem for her. Also puppy pooper scoopers.
Can a professorship at Ben Gurion 'University' be far off?

The Israeli Left Scrambles in the Wake of A Stunning Video

By Steven Plaut

Israel has been rocked by sort of a Middle Eastern Bizarro version of the Dred Scott decision. In that famous American Supreme Court case from1857, it was decided to send black escaped slave Dred Scott back to slavery in the South. This triggered enormous public outrage and paved the way for Lincoln's election. In the Israeli analogue, Jewish leftists are collaborating with the Palestinian Authority of the PLO and turning over to it innocent Arab Dred Scotts, who have done business with Jews, so that the PLO will torture and murder them.

The "star" of the story is a leftist extremist named Ezra Nawi, who has become something of a poster boy for the radical Left. "Nawi" is a well-known and ordinarily distinguished surname among Jews who came from Iraq. Most of these are patriotic Zionists, but a small minority of them were communists back in Iraq in the 1940s/1950s and have remained such. A few of these Iraqi Jews continue to embrace communism, like the radical anti-Zionist sociologist from Tel Aviv University, Yehouda Shenhav.

Nawi famously was convicted of pedophilia and rape of a minor boy some years ago. Later he was also convicted of violently attacking police as part of a riot of violent Palestinians he helped lead. He speaks Arabic and likes to dress as an Arab. He is active in small far-leftist anti-Israel NGOs operating in Israel that pretend to be "human rights groups," including B'tselem and Taayoush. These are foreign-funded subversive groups that have never heard of any human right for Jews worthy of being defended and certainly not the right of self-defense against genocidal terror and Islamofascist aggression. They are also notoriously indifferent to violations of free speech rights of anyone not from the far Left.

Those arrests turned Nawi into a minor folk hero for the radical Left around the world, where people like Noam Chomsky came out in support of him. Within Israel the anti-Israel Tenured Left embraced Nawi. The anti-Semitic pro-terror pseudo-academic Neve Gordon from Ben Gurion University, Israel's Norman Finkelstein, who has himself served illegally as a human shield to defend terrorists and disrupt IDF anti-terror operations, leads the Nawi groupies. Gordon claims Nawi's only offense is being too caring and compassionate. The campaign to support the Pedophile for Palestine has gone global. The presidential bid in Ireland in 2011 was disrupted when it was disclosed that candidate Senator David Norris was intimately tied to Nawi and had supported him. Norris had to drop out of the race.

Nawi in recent days suddenly was thrust into the limelight when he was the subject of an expose broadcast by Israel's leading investigative reporter, Ilana Dayan, on the prestigious "Uvda (Fact)" television news show. Dayan, who is hardly a right-winger, broadcast a tape made surreptitiously by an investigator who had infiltrated Taayoush. There Nawi boasts about informing to the PLO about Arabs who have sold land to Jews, saying he knows full well that they will be tortured and murdered for this "crime." As part of the PLO's moderation and devotion to peace and coexistence with Israel, it has long followed a policy of murdering any Palestinian conducting such business with Jews. The Left's "human rights" NGOs have never had very much to say about this. But in Nawi's case, we are not talking about turning a blind eye but rather about serving as accomplice in the murder of innocent Arabs.

A.B. Yehoshua is one of Israel's best-known writers and also a leading figure in the political Left. In response to the Nawi Affair, he came out in FAVOR of turning the Arab Dred Scotts over to the PLO, justifying their torture and murder, saying it is no one else's business if the PLO does this. Yehoshua is a leader in B'tselem. He was quoted as saying:

"Selling of land needs to be clear and to be written down in the land registry…You cannot hide the sale of land by one person to another. The [Palestinian] Authority's mechanisms and the mechanisms of a formal body that we recognize and about whose existence we are glad. We want transparency. Everything that is done here – I want transparency….What their fate will be is a separate matter." He added: "Whom they torture and whom they do not torture, that is their problem already." "B'tselem's activists need not interfere in the relations among the Palestinians," he said. "We see it as a foreign country. If the Authority's laws give them the right to do so, then that's it."

The response of much of the rest of the Israeli Left was to denounce Dayan and her TV channel for daring to expose the story and discredit the Left. Some leftists are insisting Nawi was "set up" in a provocation by right-wingers or settlers. The heads of the "human rights NGO" B'tselem rallied round Nawi and defended him, also defending the torture and murder of Arabs by the Palestinian Authority. The lawyer representing the far-leftist Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Michael Sfard, dismissed the TV documentary as a toady broadcast in service of the Right. The ACRI is headed by yet another Jewish communist from Iraq, author Sami Michael. The head of "Peace Now" pooh-poohed the Nawi story and insisted that the real set of crimes were those of settlers. The head of the small far-leftist Mertz party, Zehava Galon, had praised Nawi in the past but was ducking questions this week.

Gidon Levy, a fanatic anti-Israel propagandist from the far-leftist daily Haaretz, in effect the Lord Haw Haw of the country, denounced the TV documentary for embarrassing the Left instead of demonizing the Right. He wrote:

"How has a McCarthyist right-wing organization, whose motives are clear (and despicable) and whose sources are unknown, succeeded with such ease in enticing such respected journalists as Ilana Dayan and Omri Assenheim? How has this flagship joined the ranks of the false propaganda which masquerades as journalism? That is how to conduct delegitimization. That is how it is done to liberal organizations in the darkest of regimes, and now here too, and on Uvda – no less."

Conservatives filed complaints with the police, demanding that Nawi be prosecuted. Don't hold your breath for that to happen. Leftists in Israeli calling for violence or engaging in it are never prosecuted by the authorities.

All of this dramatically illuminates what is at stake with a proposed bill that would require transparency in the funding of radical anti-Israel NGOs operating in Israel, whose funding invariably comes from belligerent donors and overseas groups. Their support within Israel is miniscule but they are awash in millions of dollars from overseas. It is a bit like a hypothetical situation in which pro-Axis NGOs might have operated in the 1940s in the US and Britain, with financing from outside the country. The bill before the Israeli parliament would not ban them but would require reps of these NGOs to wear tags identifying themselves as agents for foreign entities when lobbying in parliament.

The Left is aghast at all that, screaming it is fascism. Eurocrats have protested, and even the Obama White House has denounced the bill, which is less stringent than similar US laws governing lobbyists who have foreign funding. The Bash-Israel lobby insists these NGOs are merely concerned with "human rights." Like the human right of the PLO to torture and murder Arabs who do business with Jews. Ironically, the PLO is also notorious for murdering and torturing homosexuals, although it is willing to give the pedophile Nawi a pass.

The involvement of leaders from Israeli leftist NGOs in murder and the rallying of the NGOs in solidarity with the murderers/accomplices, including a murdering pedophile, shows their true character. Never before have leftist "human rights groups" been so dramatically unmasked.
