There president is not extreme enough and want him to be more evil or they will kill him
Israelis Threaten Their President With Death For Condemning The Burning Alive Of A Palestinian Baby
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin is facing a barrage of hateful comments, including death threats, from Israeli citizens after he condemned the burning to death of a Palestinian baby by Jewish-Israeli settlers.
In the early hours of Friday, July 31, Jewish-Israelis firebombed a Palestinian home in the West Bank town of Duma, just south of Nablus. 18-month-old Ali Dawabshe was burned alive in his own cot. His mother, father and brother remain in critical condition. The killers spray-painted a Star of David on the charred walls of the house, and added the word “Revenge.”
The morning after the Dawabshe family were burned in their beds, another Jewish-Israeli attacked Tel Aviv’s Gay Pride event, stabbing several LGBT people. 16-year-old Shira Banki was critically injured, and later died from her injuries.
It was clear to many of those who have watched with concern while mainstream Jewish-Israelis have continued to incite hatred and violence against non-Jews in Israel over recent years, that these acts of violence were not shocking aberrations. Instead, they are the tragic, inevitable consequence of such incitement.
As veteran Jewish-Israeli journalist Gideon Levy wrote in July 2014:
“All the seeds of the incitement of the past few years, all the nationalistic, racist legislation and the incendiary propaganda, the scare campaigns and the subversion of democracy by the right-wing camp – all these have borne fruit, and that fruit is rank and rotten. The nationalist right has now sunk to a new level, with almost the whole country following in its wake. The word “fascism,” which I try to use as little as possible, finally has its deserved place in the Israeli political discourse.”
A year later, President Rivlin has raised the same issue, calling the killings a ‘wake up call’ to Israel. He challenged Prime Minister Netanyahu and other leaders in Israeli society to go further than condemning the attacks, by challenging the whole narrative that make Palestinian life so cheap in Israel and the Occupied Territories.
“An atmosphere has been created here that has allowed leniency towards what is naively called ‘weeds,’” Rivlin stated.
“Every society has extremist fringes, but today we have to ask: what is it in the public atmosphere which allows extremism and extremists to walk in confidence, in broad daylight? What is it that has enabled these weeds to threaten the safety of the entire garden of flowers?” he asked.
The speech, published in the Israeli press, received thousands of comments, with Rivlin widely condemned as an internal traitor to the Jewish State.
“Dirty traitor. Your end will be worse than (Ariel) Sharon’s,” reads one comment.
“In Russia you would have been found by this point cut up inside a shoe box.” Wrote another.
