Beating Heart Demonstration

Shock and law

Even if the manner in which Rabbi Dov Lior was detained did not show perfect wisdom and judgment on the part of the police, what happened afterward was terror in its most basic sense: the subjection of the country's citizens to fear and anxiety by a gang of rioters. Anyone who saw them up close - as they descended the hills of the West Bank, assaulted the Supreme Court building in Jerusalem and tried to force their way into the home of the deputy state prosecutor, Shai Nitzan - saw violent civil revolt against the institutions of the state.

The Supreme Court is located a hill-and-a-half away from the Prime Minister's Office. During the entire time, Benjamin Netanyahu sat there, received reports of what was going on in the backyard of the neighbors across the way - and was silent. Only the next day, under pressure from the media and in the wake of a public rebuke by opposition leader Tzipi Livni, did he issue a short statement in which he declared that the law applies to everyone.

After news broke that Osama bin Laden had been liquidated by the Americans, Netanyahu released a recorded statement to YouTube within about a quarter of an hour, in which he was seen surrounded by Israeli flags.

At high noon on Wednesday, Netanyahu's right-hand man Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman, who is responsible for the battered and bloodied State Prosecutor's Office, appeared in the Knesset and replied to parliamentary queries that dealt, among other issues, with Nitzan and the detention of Lior. Neeman referred the questioners to the Public Security Ministry, saying: "I am not familiar with the case and I have no idea what is being done in connection with it. The Israel Police dealt with this case. I cannot make declarations about cases I know nothing about."

Not a word of support for the state prosecution, not a word of condemnation of the rabbi and the demonstrators.

That same day, 18 MKs, most of them members of the coalition, sent a message to Neeman expressing their shock at Rabbi Lior's detention, and demanding that the team headed by Nitzan that is responsible for investigating offenses related to freedom of expression be disbanded immediately. At the time of writing, no voice or even whisper of support for the prosecution has emanated from the justice minister's bureau.

What are the hooligans who ran amok in the streets of Jerusalem this week - and who are threatening to reprise their rampage, and even outdo themselves, if Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, who has espoused views similar to those of Lior, is also taken into detention (if he hasn't been already since press time ) - supposed to conclude from this? That they have an implicit sanction, from the prime minister on down, to go on running wild, beating up policemen and physically threatening the very bastion of Israeli democracy?
