WAFA Monitors Incitement and Racism in Israeli Media

RAMALLAH, July 24, 2011 (WAFA) - Palestine News and Information Agency (WAFA) monitored incitement and racism against the Palestinians and Arabs published by the Israeli media between July 8 and 15.

Aryeh Avichor published an article on NFC website, in which he legitimized killing the innocents during war, referring to the Torah’s laws on killing Gentiles (non-Jewish) in time of war.

In his article Avichor adopted Rabbi Jacob Joseph’s stance, saying “Our allies killed innocents in the World War II; it was legitimate and moral back then. The Israeli soldiers are the innocents and Israel must protect them. We should airstrike instead of sending our soldiers into houses and endangering their lives.”

NFC website published an article by Akiva Lam, inciting against the existence of Gentiles in the state of Israel, calling to separate Israelis from Arab refugees.

He claimed that the Bedouins in Israel are originally from Saudi Arabia and don’t abide to the Israeli law. “They [Bedouins] steal cars, marry several women and work in drugs and human trafficking. The problem is that they take control of any land they believe they’re entitled to. War is inevitable, and perhaps it’ll be a mass war of existence, not a war of tolerance, against the Arab nation,” added Lam.

NRG website published an article by Alon Marom, in which he suggested to resort to war, ethnic cleansing and massacres instead of peace to separate between the Palestinians and the settlers in the West Bank.

He said that the construction process of the settlements is at its peak, and within few years, facts on the ground will rule in favor of the occupying majority. This will make it impossible to peacefully separate the settlers from the Arabs, especially that they will refuse to live in a binational Israeli-Arab state without exercising their full rights. This is impractical in Israel because the Arabs’ rights “jeopardize Israel’s Jewish character.”

Marom planned a strategy to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians instead of planning to transfer them; Israeli army should deport Arab villagers around main roads near settlements, under the pretext of ‘helping Arab armies that may invade Israel’. Furthermore, Israeli authorities will deport Palestinians to the borders under the same allegation and simultaneously establish military units of fighters and veterans and these units will attack the remaining Palestinian villages.

“It’s OK if the units slaughtered or committed massacres occasionally, but the Israeli army will not kill. When the hypocrite Gentiles call to return the refugees, we’ll claim that their return will form a vast minority in the Jewish state, and that is anti-Semitic,” Marom concluded.

Ben-Dror published an article supporting the Knesset Boycott Law that imposes sanctions against people, organizations or institutions that boycott or call to boycott products from Israel or the Israeli settlements in the West Bank, on NRG website.

He claimed that boycott is a legitimate tool and is used against Iran and Hamas regimes. “However, a boycott campaign against Israel like the one against South Africa in the past is ridiculous! The international law gave a new meaning to Apartheid and it is no where related to what’s happening in Israel,” Ben Dror added.

Moshe Arens published an article in Haaretz newspaper, in which he incited against Sheikh Raed Salah, head of the Islamic movement in Israel, and questioned how he and the Islamic movement are allowed to work freely in Israel despite their scandalous, treacherous and conspiring behaviors.

Arens accused the “Israeli democratic watch dogs; Israeli government, Knesset and Supreme Court” to have fallen asleep and accused Sheikh Salah of spreading disagreement and differences between the Arab citizens of Israel and the Jews by supporting Israel’s enemies.

The article called on the Israeli law enforcement agencies to end the movement’s dangerous actions and defend democracy.

NFC website published an anti-Islam racist article by Nurit Granger, in which she incited a war against Islam.

The West, including Israel, is in a continuous state of war against Islam and Muslims, who are “stuck in a backward, despicable, hate-filled, barbaric and fascist ideology that incites against the democracy in Europe, US and any other non-Muslim nation,” she said.

She called to recognize Islam as “an extreme political ideology, not a religion,”, as well called not to abide to the freedom of religion laws, and to boycott Islam in all forms, including preventing the building of another mosque minaret on Western land.

Yair Lapid, host of “Friday’s Studio” weekly television newsmagazine, asked journalist and military analyst Daniel Rooney about the reason behind the escalations in the south of Israel, to which Rooney answered “Hamas is allowing extreme organizations to launch missiles at Israel.”

Rooney said that Hamas isn’t the most extreme organization, but it approves terrorist attacks if it benefits from them.

“Hamas wants to prove that President Mahmoud Abbas is incompetent without it. Israel’s policy today is to preserve a less-tensed atmosphere, but it won’t last; if missile launch continues, a violent response will be inevitable because the situation can’t continue as it is at the borders with Gaza,” he added.
