"Dozens of unruly yeshiva students in the southern town of Mitzpeh Ramon prevented an event in which Yahad chairman Yossi Beilin and Labor's Amram Mitzna were to promote the Geneva Accord from taking place on Sunday. Police arrested at least two demonstrators.

Former justice minister Beilin and the former Labor leader Mitzna were attacked by some 60 demonstrators on their way to the hall in which the event was to take place. The protesters bashed on their cars' windshields and tried to hit Beilin. Security guards and a few policemen in the area managed to drive them away.

Later on the demonstrators broke into the hall and prevented its doors from opening. Beilin and Mitzna stayed in a closed room outside the hall, fearing for their safety. After the cancellation of the event was announced they left the building."

"Baruch Marzel, a leading Kach movement figure, issued the following statement: "We will pursue the criminals of Geneva and Oslo, the traitors Beilin and Mitzna and their comrades, wherever we can"

"Police raided Monday morning the headquarters of two Web sites affiliated with the outlawed extreme right-wing Kahane Chai (Kahane Lives) movement, which were operating out of apartments in Jerusalem and nearby Kfar Tapuah.


Six far-right activists were held for questioning on suspicion of updating two Web sites that contain information in Hebrew, English and Russian representing the ideology of the extremist movement, which was outlawed after the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995."

"Police have been holding an undercover investigation into the site operators for the past three months. The six people who were arrested are expected to be indicted.

Kahane activists said Monday in response to the arrests that despite the confiscation of their equipment, "police will not shut our mouth."

FWIW.

2. Obviously Derthowitz will be writing an article for the JPost

decrying this outrageous behaviour.

Now I am going to start holding my breath, giving rise to what is known in the trade as a 'blue legin'.

3. Notice the language

"Demonstrators"

If this had happened at some Arab town (or, god forbid, in the territories), it'd be:

"Rioters"

"Terrorists."

ADL condemns yeshiva hooligans

<snip>

"The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has denounced the violent behavior of a large number of “hesder yeshiva” students at a meeting held yesterday (Sunday) in Mitzpe Ramon to promote the Geneva Accord.

About 100 demonstrators tried to break up the gathering attended by Chairman of the new Yachad party, Dr. Yossi Beilin and MK Amram Mitzna (Labor). Police were called to the scene and managed to disperse the crowd, arresting several demonstrators. Beilin was ushered out of the hall for fear that his life was in danger. His personal assistant, Hagit Ofran, said that Beilin's bodyguard was attacked outside the hall earlier in the evening.


In a letter addressed to the head of the yeshiva, Rabbi David Avichail, the ADL wrote, “While your students have every right to demonstrate peacefully against the political platform laid out by the accord and its initiators, the violent acts perpetrated by some of the demonstrators are not only unlawful but they defy the very nature of the democracy that Israel stands for”.

According to the statement, “By calling Yossi Beilin, Amram Mitzna and other Geneva Accord planners 'traitors', your students are inciting hatred and further violence. We need not remind you that the label ‘traitor’ was an important factor that led to the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin”.
