For Zio-Nazi Lieberman, human rights = terrorism

Well, this sums it up well. Though IsraHell declined to follow up the anti-Boycott

bill by passing a law calling for the investigation of human rights organizations,

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was not

“blasted ministers for refusing to probe”

From Ha’aretz,

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman criticized Prime Minister

Benjamin Netanyahu and Likud ministers for their opposition

to a bill calling for parliamentary investigations into left-wing

organizations. Speaking during Sunday’s cabinet meeting, Lie-

berman said the bodies slated for investigation were not left-

wing groups but terror organizations.

Fascinatingly,  Netanyahu refused to  support  the bill because of

“Delegitimization, ” which either means  he argues that for every-

thing he does, or he recognizes that repressive laws are what delegt-

imizes Israel, while the human rights groups it mentions are among

its last hopes.

One of the group’s on Lieberman’s slander list, New Profile, responded

in an emailed press statement.

New Profile Denounces Minister of Foreign Affairs Avigdor Lieberman

New Profile rejects and denounces Minister Lieberman’s choice to call New

Profile and other human rights organizations “terrorist organizations”.

New Profile is a civil feminist movement active against institutionalized violence

and for dialogue and peace, for demilitarizing Israeli society, for freedom of

conscience, equality and justice for all – Arabs and Jews, women and men,

including those choosing not to serve in the IDF.

New Profile persists in its commitment to non-violence and encourages true,

open civil discourse in Israel. Minister Lieberman kindles and leads incitement

against human rights and civil society organizations in this country.

The attempt to slur as “terrorist” any view critical of the ruling power’s ideas

expresses a basic misunderstanding of democracy and presents any

controversy as an existential threat that must be eliminated.

We call upon the public in Israel to ask itself and its elected representatives why

criticism and independent thinking threaten them as much as terrorist actions.

Inflaming fear and trembling of real and imagined foes perpetuates the situation

whereby war, inequality and racism are regarded a must, manifest destiny. It is

not. The choice is in our hands, we the citizens – choosing to live in an

egalitarian, non-violent, civil and democratic society.
