"Israeli rabbi’s detainment brings outrage; He had ignored police demands" by Amy Teibel,
Associated Press / June 30, 2011
JERUSALEM — The detainment of a prominent Israeli settler rabbi who endorsed a book sanctioning the killing of non-Jews under some conditions is sharpening the battle lines between some Jewish religious sages and the Israeli government.
After Rabbi Dov Lior, spiritual leader of the radical Kiryat Arba settlement in the West Bank, was detained and brought in for police questioning, hundreds of his followers, most of them teenagers, went on a rampage. Other rabbis denounced the idea that a rabbi could be arrested at all.
On the other side, secular Israelis complained that some rabbis in Israel think they are above the law.
Lior, a longtime symbol of religious and nationalist extremism, was brought in for questioning.
Why can't they say Zionist militant?
Monday after his car was stopped on a West Bank road. Lior, who was freed after a brief interrogation, accused officers of “Bolshevik’’ tactics.

I guess he would know then.
Joining critics of his own government’s action, Minister of Religious Affairs Yaakov Margi raged that the rabbi, who is in his late 70s, was “abducted on his way to Jerusalem like the lowest criminal.’’
Oh, he was treated like a Palestinian and didn't like it?
Lior was brought in Monday after ignoring a series of official police orders to report for interrogation....
The warrant had been pending for months in connection with a preface Lior wrote in support of a book, “The King’s Teachings.’’ The book quotes some religious sages as permitting, under certain conditions, the killing of non-Jews, including babies, “if there is a good chance they will grow up to be like their evil parents.’’
That is SO HITLER-like, isn't it?
And it sure explains Israel's attitude toward Palestinians!
****************
Backers accused authorities of assaulting Lior’s freedom of speech and complained that inflammatory statements by leftists against nationalist Israelis did not draw similar sanctions.
Hey, I'm all for freedom of speech, and this a**hole can say what he wants. It is the CONTENT of the WORDS that I care about.
Critics of Lior and his camp saw a sign that some rabbis and their followers believe that secular law does not apply to them.
Yeah, it is a sign of the JEWISH SUPREMACISM that considers the rest of us sub-human cattle.
“Those who favor freedom of expression will of course find it difficult to accept as self-evident the arrest of a person, any persona, for things that he said or wrote,’’ read an editorial in yesterday’s Haaretz newspaper.
The Jerusalem Post wrote it was not clear Lior committed a crime.
“He has, however, placed his rabbinic reputation behind a morally repugnant book.’’

I no longer believe those lies, either.
