Raed Salah at the Temple Mount

Salah, the head of the Islamic Movement’s Northern Branch was arrested in Wadi Joz for incitement and sedition.  This guy has 7 impending police investigations against him and the best the courts can do is send him home and tell him not to go to Jerusalem for 30 days.

Why the Israeli court system thinks this is a smart idea I’ll never know.  But, sadly, this goes along with the current ‘kid gloves’ approach the Israeli government takes with any Arab of any note who has a beef with Israel.  You can read more crap like this from Ahmed Tibi, an MK who for some reason, Israel chooses to allow to stay in the Knesset when he should be turned out of the country or at least in jail.  The sad part is, he is representing the point of view of his constituency.  He must be, as he keeps getting re-elected.  Oh well, at least we know what the people who keep putting him in office are thinking.

Now you even have Fatah members saying, “Yup, if Israel doesn’t back off, there will be a third Intifada’.  Great….the whole chorus is singing.  Why no one internationally is trying to help Israel get the Arabs to back off is beyond me, but as mentioned previously, if they want to start another Intifada, Israel should defend itself and it’s citizens accordingly with all due force.
