T. Belman. Of course he is right to take the Court to task but everytime politicians respond to the murder of Jews by demanding their homes be destroyed, I am turned off. I am not pacified in the slightest by the destruction of their homes. The terrorist and the PA have factored it in. I would rather that the death penalty be invoked.
Also the government tolerates the role that the PA plays in inciting such murders and glorifying the murderers. When is Israel going to make incitement a crime and put the perpetrators in Jail. The PA must be prevented from inciting hatred and violence.
MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home) slammed the helplessness demonstrated by Israel in everything connected to demolishing terrorists’ homes and called for demolishing the house of the perpetrator of Friday’s terrorist attack.
In an interview with Radio 101.5FM, Yogev urged, “Don’t rely on the excuse that the Supreme Court doesn’t allow it. Put the Supreme Court aside for 72 hours, do not take into account its emasculating opinion.
“The Supreme Court plays a significant role in the declining deterrence of IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, and also in the next murder – that we hope will not happen – because it doesn’t allow the demolition of a [terrorist’s] house.
“Seventy-two hours is enough to find out whether there is any connection between the family, parents, siblings, etc. and terror. The Supreme Court is a kind of la-la-land inside of Israel.The judges sitting up there and the chief justice sitting up there must learn their place,” Yogev said.
MK Yogev added, “The Supreme Court must change its way significantly, correct itself and ceases interfering in security and political decisions. It is not its purview. it’s not within its authority, and the Israeli government must take the helm.”
This is not the first time Yogev has severely criticized the Supreme Court. In 2015, Yogev refused to retract a statement according to which “A D9 bulldozer shovel should be used against the Supreme Court.”
The statement was made in reaction to the Supreme Court order to demolish homes in Beit El, which was carried out shortly after it was issued.
If the High Court really wanted to make a name for itself which would go down benficially in Jewish History, it would decree that executions are the ONLY penalty for seriously damaging Jews and/or the Jewish State, and then sentence itself to the penalty; to be hanged outside the High Court building.
THAT’S the only good thing they’d have done for Israel and justice in the last 25-30 years.
the only requirement from the supreme (written with tongue in cheek) court should be the method.
Gas, Electric, Hanging. Tarred Feathered and Quartered, Injection, Firing Squad or my fav. guillotined (which would be both kosher and halal.) the lucky candidate should be castrated first then shown the virgins list.
