WAFA Monitors Incitement and Racism in Israeli Media

 RAMALLAH, June 18, 2011 (WAFA) – Palestine News and Information Agency (WAFA) monitored incitement and racism against the Palestinians and Arabs published by the Israeli media between June 3 and 6.

‘Today’ program on  the Israeli ‘Reshet Bet’ radio station hosted Avichai Rontzki, former military chief Rabbi of the Israeli army and a resident of Itamar settlement, who considered the murder of five settlers in Itamar months ago an ‘ordinary event by Palestinians’.

The Rabbi said that it’s in Israel’s interest to provide detailed description of the ugly murder, “All of Awarta residents in the past has planned for similar murders, or is planning now and for sure will keep planning. Our neighbors don’t mind killing sleeping babies. It’s too painful to think of good relations between us; it’s impossible to have good relations with them.”

Joseph Argoman published an inciting article on Ynetnews in which he called on the Israeli government to build an actual separation wall to prevent protests in Syria and neighboring countries from crossing the borders.

“Israel’s borders are long, jagged and not designed to stop the Palestinian ‘martyrs’ (cynical tone) from suicide-bombing in our land. Our walls have been infiltrated and no longer can protect us from the Palestinian refugees in the future,” he said.

He demanded a “continuous, high and deterrence wall of cement, just like the Separation Wall in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank); just like the Great Wall of China.”

NRG website published an article by Shmulik Rifman, chairman of Ramat Negev regional council, in which he urged the Israeli government to respond to Goldberg Report’s recommendations to organize Bedouin communities in Negev.

He considered these communities as ‘ticking social bombs’ and called to address this issue immediately. He said that Bedouins are an unorganized expansion in the consumed large pieces of Negev lands. They occupied and diminished several hills and open areas as well as obstructed the possible economic potentials that are unreachable now.

NRG website also published a piece of news by Eric Bender, in which he referred to Knesset Member for Yisrael Beiteinu, Lia Shemtov’s suggestion to the Israeli army; use ‘diarrhea gas’ to deal with intruders who cross the Israeli borders.

“The Arabs are adjusted to tear gas now, therefore, the Israeli army should use additional substances. If these terrorists realized they will have diarrhea in the end, they won’t cross the borders. In case this doesn’t help and the terrorists became a threat to our soldiers, live bullets will be necessary,” said Bender.

Haaretz Israeli newspaper published an instigating article for right-wing activist Karni Eldad, in which she called the Arab Bedouins in Negev the ‘outlaws’ and demanded to evict them from their illegal settlements.

Eldad said, “Bedouins are shepherds on the move; they control lands that doesn’t belong to them. Israel is negotiating on how much land and compensation it will give to these outlaws. This is suicide!”

Israeli Army Reserve Major, Moshe Hsdai, published an article on NFC website calling to “salvage Islam from its dark brutal side.”

Hsdai said that Israel’s national and international duty is to strip Islam from its Jihad.

“We mustn’t succumb to terrorism; we mustn’t award it with a Palestinian state or additional areas. We must win the battle against terrorism,” he added.

NFC website also published a racist article by Hen Ben-Eliyahu, calling the Arabs and the Palestinians ‘Nazis’ and calling President Mahmoud Abbas “a Nazi peace partner.”

He claimed that the Nazi Palestinian narration corresponds exactly with the ethnic theory that was adopted by the Third Reich. He said that Abbas and the Nazi Palestinians’ goal to erase Israel and to kill 6 million Jews living in Israel now.

Ben-Eliyahu said that any small gestures of peace with the Palestinians, who continue to study Hitler’s book, will endorse their desire to control additional areas. “We must immediately impose Israeli control over Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and blow the Palestinians’ dream of an independent state. This will lead to emigration of hundreds of thousands of these new Nazis, leaving only a small Arab minority,” He said.

He baldly instigated to kill the Palestinians, saying “Israel! Kill whoever wants to kill you. Erase this Nazi state, which wants to erase you even before it’s established.”
