Ynetnews: The real Israel in real time
—
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has to be killed. Really be killed, I mean, physically. He should be eliminated, put to death, assassinated, and all those words that serve to say the same thing.
[…]
Here too, while we are so busy with manners and etiquette, the man in Teheran is vigorously advancing the extermination plan for the people of Israel.
[…]
Indeed, this is impolite, unaesthetic, not customary and undiplomatic. Yet in order to stop this particular archenemy, we simply have to explain to him that his end is nearing.
Ynetnews Opinion by Uri Orbach, April 20, 2007: We need to kill him
McCain sings in public, broadcasted on youtube, BombBombBomb IRAN. !
Conservative US TV pundits and posters call for killing liberals.
At the same time, the EU is going to implement a blanket law condemning denial of the Holocaust, and to dress it up, repress and condemn incitations to violence or hatred towards…well… what? .some ppls.. in function of a group’s race, color, religion..etc. – not sex. (terms taken from link, which was just the first on google.)
Apparently, the US and Israel thus get a free pass?
They, or one or another, can call for killing leaders of State, or ppl who belong to a certain group, or even whole populations, in the mainstream media, and even publish in the press that ‘new policies’ (being general here) allow ‘targeted killings’ etc.?
But the rest of the world has to shut up, and at the same time be despised and decried because they are backward creeps who don’t have the right to ‘free speech’?
Hmmm.
Switz. has had a law like that in place for a long time. The last case prosecuted under it, very recently, was interesting.
The accused denied the Armenian genocide, and did so blatantly, vociferously, in public (speeches, pamphlets, etc.) thereby fulfilling the criteria of the ‘law’ re. the ‘public’ aspect. The accused never denied doing so. The judge thus had a tough time of it, but he fell back on the law, which uses terms like “generally known”, “commonly accepted” – to condemn this person to a fine / suspended jail sentence (details..) The judge basically said, I am not a historian, I do not know what went down, that is not my place, but as it is ‘generally known/accepted’ that this genocide took place, I rule that the defendant is guilty of violating the law because he denied it. !!
Now, that ruling was very embarrassing to the Swiss Gvmt. which has not recognized the Armenian genocide. They also have not denied it. Now, Swiss jurisprudence has taken a position, and believe me, that case is on the blackboards and PowerPoints and being examined by law students across the land.
The kicker is that the condemned man found a perfect platform for his views and convictions. On the steps of the court, journalists bombarded him with questions, and then he could spout them freely, as he was asked. So for some hours the TV stations, and the next day the press. transmitted his opinions, giving him far more space or prominence than he ever had before.
The case is being appealed. We will see.
