(IsraelNN.com) A Jerusalem judge handed down a conviction Tuesday against Neria Ofan, a pro-Land of Israel activist from Shomron (Samaria), for driving a car that sported a bumper sticker with the slogan “no Arabs – no terror.”
The Attorney General decided in 2002 that the slogan constituted incitement to racism and was therefore a criminal offense.
The slogan “no Arabs – no terror” was coined by nationalists after the start of the massive terror wave which swept Israel from late September 2000 onwards.
“The call ‘no Arabs – no terror’ is tainted with racism,” Judge Shulamit Dotan determined, “because it makes a connection between the entire Arab populace, without any differentiation among its members, and the execution of terror acts. It thus shows hostility and enmity toward an entire populace, only because of its national-ethnic origin.”
“The slogan also suggests a solution to the ‘problem,’” Judge Dotan went on to say, “in the form of collective punishment of the Arab population by making it disappear, either by expulsion of by other means, which the reader need only imagine, as long as the country remains ‘clean’ of Arabs.”
Acts of incitement to racism, the judge ruled, “connect between racist ideas and their execution through violent offenses.”
This is just so wrong. The statement is true. If there were no arabs in Israel there would be no terror attacks. The solution is to get rid of the arabs. This judge would fit right in with judges in California.
