Prosecution asks police to investigate professor on incitement charges

Deputy State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan has asked the police to open an investigation into Dr. Eyal Nir, a Ben Gurion University professor, due complaints that have been made over an inciting web post.

In the post, the professor allegedly responded to a right-wing march in east Jerusalem by inviting "the world to come help break these miscreants' necks." Nitzan said that the police have been asked to investigate Nir on suspicion of incitement to violence. (Aviad Glick)
