Who Is The Law Scoffer?

These two Muslim women screamed, yelled, berated and, eventually, struck out at Jews and police on the Temple Mount yesterday (and last month).


The Israel Penal Law, Section 144F(a) provides:

If a person commits an offense out of a racist motive . . . or out of enmity toward a public because of their [sic] religion, religious group, community of origin, sexual inclination or because they are foreign workers, then he shall be liable to double the penalty set for that offense or to ten years imprisonment, whichever is the lesser penalty.

And what is "racism"? 

Racism
Definitions
144A.   In this Article: "racism" – persecution, humiliation, degradation, a display of enmity, hostility or violence, or causing violence against a public or parts of the population, all because of their color, racial affiliation or national ethnic origin.

...(2a) a body of persons, incorporated or unincorporated, which in an organized manner, in its by-laws, in its propaganda or in some other manner propagates, incites to or encourages racism, as

1.  The Holy Places shall be protected from desecration and any other violation and from anything likely to violate the freedom of access of the members of the different religions to the places sacred to them or their feelings with regard to those places.
2.   a)  Whosoever desecrates or otherwise violates a Holy Place shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of seven years.
     b)  Whosoever does anything likely to violate the freedom of access of the members of the different religions to the places sacred to them or their feelings with regard to those places shall be liable to imprisonment for a term of five years.

Why aren't they immediately and unconditionally charged with infractions of these laws?
