If these detentions are put in force, then the religious nationalists MUST demand the immediate detention of Dana Olmert and her comrads. Baruch Marzel et al - go to work on this immediately. Isn't the calling of Halutz a murderer !, and isn't screaming LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA worthy of detention due to its incitement? IF the people do not thwart the regime from being selectively allowed to enforce 'ideological' detention, then they are agreeing to live in a police type state. NO democracy works in this draconian fashion. Israel will resemble the cesspools of Latin America, and even some of the odious Arab regimes. How can we castigate Mubarak for enforcing draconian measures by beating on the opposition, if we allow Israel's leaders to do the same?

Israel is a police state where the right is muzled & intiminated by the police & shabak while the left is allowed spew their garbage ad nausea when & where they want without any restrictions. So what else is new?

The new government of Israel arrested former PM. Omert ,Defense Minister Peretz and Shimon Peres for high crimes against the state. They were presented with the 39 charges against them and hel in isolation as Israel struggled to undo the damage done by their rule of appeasment to terrorism and their brutal attacks and intimidation of Israeli's who opposed their failed plan. This signaled the end of extremist rule in Israel where the enemy was alawys lauded and rewarded for their murderous efforts at wiping out Israel. Sanity has come back to the promised land.

This coward min.of nondefense just carries on the tradition of his idol stalin. he does not know the meaning of democracy.he will learn after the next elections.he knows how to make war against the Jews.What about the kassams you incompetent failure! It's the kassams,stupid!

THE SELF DESTRUCT DOUBLE STANDARD by Yoram Ettinger, January 20, 2006 Illegal Arab construction has become a norm, led by the Palestinian Authority (many PA officials reside in illegal homes), bankrolled by Saudi petrodollars and observed by the wide-closed eyes of Israel. Illegal construction has become an effective means to challenge Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem, to undermine major infrastructure and housing projects in the Negev and Galilee, to limit the freedom/security of Jewish movement along major transportation arteries, to facilitate terrorism and to exacerbate crime. Over 1,000 illegal houses are built annually – by Jerusalem Arabs – since 1997. Only 30-40 are demolished by the authorities. About 10,000 illegal houses are built, annually, by "Green Line" Arabs in the Galilee, Negev, "Triangle", Lod and Ramleh. About 100 are demolished. Since 1967, there has been more Arab residential (largely illegal) construction in Jerusalem than Jewish construction in the capital of the Jewish State. But, Israel is enforcing the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to a few scores of Jewish houses throughout Judea & Samaria and Hebron (built on a Jewish-registered property, which was ravaged by Arabs in 1929). Legal and governance impotence have characterized Israel's battle against illegal Arab construction, which threatens Israel's sovereignty and the rule of law in Jerusalem and all over the country. Palestinian documents, found at the PLO's "Orient House", highlight illegal construction as a key instrument in the campaign to erode the Jewish character of Jerusalem. According to the documents, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has enticed illegal construction in Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods of Shoafat, Beit Haninah and A-Zaim, in order to prevent continuity between the Jewish neighborhoods of French Hill and Pisgat Ze'ev, and to avert the unification of Jerusalem and Ma'aleh Adoumim. Illegal construction is raging along Highway 443, the critical road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with the aim to transform it into an Arab road, threatening the security of Jewish transportation. While a 1999 Palestinian document anticipated that Israel was determined "to demolish 400-500 illegal houses in Beit Haninah and Shoafat", a 2000 document notified the PA that "no need to worry", since Israel would only demolish a few houses, and illegal construction could proceed with full speed ahead. For instance, illegal construction in the Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Silwan has been a platform for intensified terrorism and felony. Forging real estate titles has proliferated in the Arab sector, robbing state-owned land as well as privately owned Arab land, fueling extortion, protection, gang-wars and the importation of illegal Arab residents from Hebron and other towns to Jerusalem – a fertile ground for terrorism.

EVERY TIME I READ ABOUT THIS IDIOT PERETZ AND HIS STUPIDITY AS ISRAEL'S DEFENSE MINISTER, I START TO RETCH.

These hateful fanatics are getting exactly what they deserve. How can anyone on this board justify destroying Palestinian property and threatening Palestinian schoolchildren so that the IDF has to escort them to school? Are you proud of the people who commit such acts? Do you think they reflect well on Israel or the Jewish people? And the fact that they are religious and claim to follow halacha makes it even worse. I don't like the peaceniks in Tel Aviv and I think they're very naive, but they're not destroying property and attacking people. BIG difference. The settlers responsible for these violent acts should be expelled from "Judea and Samaria" and maybe from Israel as well.

Whilst patriotic Jews are regarded as enemies of the state. Israel's leaders continue to demonstrate their sympathies are not with Jewish victims. Their sympathies are with Islamic terrorist killers . Israel gave the use of an Israeli prison to promote jihad against Israel's Jewish innocents. For some unknown and terrible reason, Israel's leaders continue to give every indication that they want Israel's barbaric enemies to win. www.jerusalempost.com May. 18, 2006 14:19 | Updated May. 20, 2006 16:20 Another Tack: Lifers here and there By SARAH HONIG ...Israeli prisons are indeed unique. Not only do the most dangerous terrorists therein get hold of phones, but recently Hamas overtly conducted a mass rally in a southern Israeli maximum-security penitentiary, where scores of convicts congregated in the courtyard, which they festooned with Hamas Islamic-green banners and Palestinian flags. A stage and speakers' rostrum were erected. The backdrop decor was a giant collage, displaying the Hamas emblem, portraits of Hamas leaders, slogans calling for Jihad against Israel and pictures of RPGs underscored by the motto "we'll continue." White plastic chairs were neatly arranged for the "audience," who cheered the invective hurled at the Zionist state and freely photographed the occasion - all under the disinterested eyes of passive Israeli wardens. The snapshots are available for viewing on the Web. Terrorist lifers in Israel don't expect to end their existence in captivity...

Three MKs were attacked at Amona: Aryeh Eldad, Effie Eitam, and Benny Elon. The faces of the three patriotic Jewish MKs are very well known. The police knew exactly who they were attacking. Arab MK Bishara has called several times for an intifada against Israel. Other Arab MKs support the violent overthrow of Israel. Can Israel's government explain why the government allows Arab MKs to commit TREASON and hate incitement to a second holocaust of Jews, and patriotic Jewish MKs, Ministers of Israel's government are viciously attacked by Israel's police? Peaceful protesters were savagely attacked by police who used all their might in hitting the protesters repeatedly with metal batons. Passive Jewish protesters sustained multiple, serious head wounds. Other victims suffered broken jaws, ribs, and limbs. February 1, 2006, the day recorded in history when 7,000 Israeli police and IDF went to war against Jewish innocents instead of against Israel's barbaric enemies. http://www.IsraelNationalNews.com/Must-Watch http://www.israelreporter.com/

She and her people made more demage to Israel and its people than all "rightists".

May it be tomorrow's headline!

To dehumanize it is essential for one to use the labels first.. Communists in Russia did it.. Nazi Germany did it. So why Y'net is using labels... "extreeme rightists"? And no extreme capo's?

Lack of democracy could cause a Civil War in Israel . All groups should have been included in dialogue.

Send in the bulldozers...

the trouble is that we are far too democratic here. In the great US of A these right wing, fascist terrorists would have long been put away in Guantanamo Bay or some similar installation

ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT HAS CEASED PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT THOSE WHOSE SACRIFICES THEY ONCE RELIED ON TO BUILD IT. NOW THEY THINK THEY ARE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO ACT OUT THEIR MARXIST FANTASY AGENDA WITHOUT REGARD FOR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. -- AND JUST LOOK AT PERETZ, FLAUNTING HIMSELF AS A STALIN WANNABE. DEFENSE MINISTER? DISGUSTING! -- A SICK JOKE

USING FEAR TO GET WHAT YOU WANT IS TERROR, ARABS DO IT AND LEFTY SCUM LIKE YOU DO IT, INCITE FEAR ABOUT YOUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS TO GET THEM LOCKED UP. LETS SEE WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THESE "RIGHT-WING FACISTS" BLEW THEM SELVES UP IN A CAFE? WHEN WAS TH LAST TIME THEY FIRED ROCKETS ON A TOWN? SO STOP THE NAME CALLING. YOU CAN ALSO REMOVE YOU NOSE FROM THE HAMAS TERORRIST BEHIND THAT IT IS IN. DO YOU KNOW THESE 13 PEOPLE? OR IS IT A KNEE JERK REACTION TO SAY "FASCIST TERRORISTS" WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD "RIGHT"? MAYBE YOU BELIEVE EVEYTHING THAT THE NEWS SAY? BUT THE NEWS IS ALWAYS RIGHT, IS'NT IT?! EXCEPT CASES LIKE DAN RATHER, THE NEW YOURK TIMES(WHOSE COLOMIST ADMITTED TO MAKING UP STORIES), THE GAZA BEACH INCIDENT ETC... PS IF YOURE SOOOO DEMOCRATIC THAN "YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY", SO YOU CANNOT LABEL SOMEONE TERRORIST BECAUSE OF THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS. AND IF YOU ARE NOT DEMOCRATIC, BASED ON YOUR COMMENTS I WOULD SAY YOU ARE A EXTREME LEFTWING FASCIST WHO WANTS THE BIG GOVERNMENT TO LOCK AWAY ANY ONE WHO DIAGREES WITH THE ALMIGHTY MIKE-HELL. stfu

propoganda to israil deplomacy ..not to keep palastinians properties

You really have undemocratic views for anyone right of left. Do you belong to Peace Now that great Anti Jewish and Anti Israel organizaion. By the way what you say is nonsense every organization in the US has a right to congregate, protest and meet.

If restrictions are being laid against the religious and the settler groups why are traitors against the State of Israel like Olmert's children (his daughter of the big mouth and his AWOL son are not prosecuted and jailed? You can also add in the Arab nationaist Arab members of Knesset. They should not only be booted out of the Knesset but in lieu of jail should be booted out of the State of Israel and into their beloved terroritories.

Here we have even nicer laws against terrorists. Under the law according to Bush a person suspected of terrorism can be arrested and held without charges, legal representation, or any informing of third parties. (To protect us against another 9/11/, supposedly). In many other countries these guys would have been in jail already, and in some countries they would simply have "disappeared." From where I sit, Israel is still one of the most democratic countries on earth - if you're not an Arab - and even if you are an Arab, it's still better than most of the Arab countries. Check out Egypt's treatment of the Muslim Brotherhood. So let these "leaders" complain - at least they're still alive and at liberty to do so.
