Religious intolerance in Jerusalem

King

Meretz

From Didi Remez’s facebook page, translated by Ofer Neiman:

Aryeh King is an extreme right wing activist who is deeply involved in
the uprooting of Palestinian families (in places like Sheikh Jarah) and is
running in the Jerusalem municipal elections

His ad [first image above]:
“Muezzin?  [Muslim call to prayer]
We must have King  [to silence them] “

Labor Party and Meretz are running together in these elections.
Their ad [second image above]:

“We must stop the ultra-orthodoxization of the neighborhoods, and
that’s why we have come together into one big force.
Fighting The Ultra-orthodoxization! “

While it is true that the ultra Orthodox way of life is different from
that  of other Jersualemites, there’s not much to be done about the
fact that ultra-orthodox people need a home too. Moreover, in many, if
not most cases, people can get along quite well on the personal level,
and on that level, ultra-orthodox people seldom try to impose their
principles on others

Meretz-Labor are not fascists. And Meretz’s number 1 Meir Margalit,
has been doing wonderful work against house demolitions in East
Jerusalem for years. But their overall message here is based on
animosity, and does not seem much different from King’s.

Worse still: “Cock-a-doodle-do: Muezzin?”

Such a tolerant and non- judgmental people in that “democracy” where no prejudice is tolerated……….in Jerusalem, no less.

ugh.

btw, the call to prayer is beautiful, imho. See Moe’s brother’s documentary from yesterday. The scene where the young man is gazing @- the lights of West Jerusalem from a rooftop in Occupied East Jerusalem @- 0400 with the audible call to prayer is positively haunting.

Not all of Meretz is bad

Meretz is very much a fascist party. There are numerous examples for that but it is enough to remember their support of the Gaza massacre of 2008-2009 where 1400 people have been murdered, 350 of which were children. According to many polls, 90%(!) of the Israeli ethnic-Jewish society supported that massacre. How many of these are Meretz voters?

Unfortunately, Meretz is not only a fascist party but also supports ethnic-supremacy. Here is one example of many, coming from the mouth of Amos Oz – an author who stands at the forefront of protecting Israeli apartheid: http://youtu.be/vB9sZzmXB1Y

One more thing, Mr. Weiss. I’m sure your fans won’t love this, but face it, Christians in the middle east today are safest in Israel, period. And, with all the trashing of “zios” from all of your writers, and most of your responders, you are lagging on the truth. Quit avoiding the obvious.
