JM discusses changing incitement law

Attorney General Menahem Mazuz said Tuesday that the current law against sedition and incitement presents an obstacle which prevents legal action against those suspected of such acts.

The way the law is worded, Mazuz pointed out, requires proof that the incendiary statements do, in fact, lead to violent actions – and only then can suspects be convicted...

Justice Minister Tzipi Livni is assembling a meeting Tuesday evening with heads of the Justice Establishment to discuss the possibility of changing the law against incitement.

Meanwhile, earlier Tuesday the Knesset Law Committee held a special meeting behind closed doors with representatives of the Shin Bet and the State Attorney's Office to discuss the special unit being established by the Justice Ministry to take quick action against acts of sedition and incitement...

The Council of Communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza charged on Sunday that "the aim of the new unit is to gag Sharon's opponents by lumping them all together as 'inciters.' Democracy and the right to protest disappear when it comes to the holy disengagement."

Eitan echoed the council's criticism during Tuesday's meeting. "I am very worried when it comes to a situation in which ministers speak stridently and call for extreme measures while the Shin Bet is the one that has to restrain them and remind them of democratic values," said Eitan. "It was the Shin Bet that told the cabinet there was no reason start off by adopting extreme measures such as administrative arrests." ...

3. Bassi engages in psychological warfare - a la Goebbels

From Gush Katif Net:

Eran Sternberg, spokesman for the Gaza Shore Regional Council, had the following to say following the report that half of all the families of Gush Katif had supposedly applied to the Expulsion Administration:

“We in Gush Katif can only laugh at the numbers that Bassi is bandying about. They are nothing but another media spin-off created by the Expulsion Administration, whose most active department so far has been Public Relations. The absolute majority of the residents of Gush Katif continue to staunchly resist Bassi’s pathetic attempts at psychological warfare”.

In fact Jonathan Bassi did admit that of the hundreds who made contact with his Administration only a few dozen actually signed an agreement.

Bassi's boasts are reported in the de fact PLO organ, al-Ha'aretz (one couldn't possibly expect me to reproduce the text, eh?)

4. Pullout laws `illegitimate,' says Likud party elder

From al-Ha'aretz:

Knesset legislation of the disengagement plan is "a rude and intolerable violation of justice and therefore as a law, it is illegitimate," said retired district judge Uri Strussman, a Likud elder statesman who serves as chairman of the World Likud Election Commission...

Strussman said he hoped the Knesset would one day pass a law that would prohibit any MK from voting against his campaign platforms "to protect the voter".

Note: "Resistance News" is a daily column devoted to news about the Jewish resistance to Sharon's expulsion and resettlement plan. Let it not be said that IsraPundit observed the ethnic-cleansing of Jews in Yesha and reacted with indifference.
