Nadia Matar, co-chairwoman of the grassroots Women in Green organization, is to be charged with "insulting a public servant". The charges, filed today, stem from a letter she wrote to Yonatan Bassi, head of the Disengagement Authority, in which she likened him to a member of the Judenrat.
Matar told Arutz Sheva today that she has not yet received any official charges. At the same time, Matar said that if the issue is brought to court, then she will prove that others who used similar expressions were not charged. Matar says that the state prosecution is operating under a politically based double standard.
"Tommy Lapid said to Shimon Peres in 1995, two weeks before the Rabin murder, 'Yours is a Judenrat government,'" Matar noted. "The charges are more appropriate to the month of Adar, but I will use the forum in order to charge the expulsion criminals."
I just can't figure out if the lawyers in the state prosecution office are evil, dumb or what.
Moshe Negbi, the leftist legal commentator, has for years been campaigning against this law which is unique in that there is no true definition for the term "insult".
Moreover, just what is the free speech campaign against the Muslims and the caricatures all about in comparison to this. Muhammed can wear a bomb turban but Bassi can't be compared to a Judenrat official?
