Свобода, свобода, эх, эх, без.
Mar. 2nd, 2005 03:07 pmВчера в новостях по радио, как бы между прочим, сообщили, что в полиции создается (создан?) специальный отдел для борьбы с антиправительственной деятельностью. В каждом отделении полиции будет создан пост для представителя этого отдела.

Date: 2005-03-03 12:39 pm (UTC)Maybe we can do that better here at home, even if the price is open division within the Jewish community. B'nai Brith Canada's publication, The Jewish Tribune, excoriates Mr. Sharon for demonizing the settlers and promotes their cause, but says little about the settlers' incitement against Israel's duly elected leaders. How should this silence be interpreted? Besides, whatever their concerns about the disengagement plan, where is B'nai Brith's outrage at the Holocaust imagery that permeates the settlers' discourse?
By contrast, the Canada-Israel Committee has just issued a statement supporting Mr. Sharon's "democratic and legislative legitimacy to implement the disengagement plan." And last week, The Canadian Jewish News urged the Jewish community to support Israel's rule of law regardless of reservations about its government's policy.
These are important steps, but they need to be buttressed. In their collective wisdom, Israelis have decided that, to remain a democracy with a Jewish majority, they must begin divesting themselves of the territories occupied in 1967, and this majority is being held hostage by the extremist minority. It's not enough to support the government of Israel; the campaign against its legitimacy has to be denounced. Those responsible for it need to hear from Israel's friends in Canada that their actions endanger the very democracy that Canadian Jews hold dear.
