Tel Aviv – Following the deadly West Bank arson on Friday in which Jewish extremists are suspected, and the knifing attack at theJerusalem gay pride parade on Thursday, leader of the opposition Isaac Herzog called for the outlawing of “Jewish terror groups.”

“This is the time for action. Real action. After we have condemned time and again, we cannot return to our daily routines as if all is normal. There is a need for action that befits the danger to Israel’s security from the Jewish terrorists who endanger us in the exact same way as their brothers, the Islamic terrorists,” Herzog posted on his Facebook page on Saturday.
“If I were prime minister I would instruct the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to deal with Jewish terror in the same way as Islamic terror, firmly and without hesitation,” Herzog said in a veiled jab to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approach.
“I would label as terrorist entities, The Lehava organization, the Marzelites, and La Familia. I would consider destroying the homes of these terrorists. Everything that applies to Islamic terror is applicable here too,” Herzog wrote.
The Lehava organization is a far-right anti-assimilation Jewish group, some of whose members were most recently implicated in the burning of a Jewish-Arab integrated school in Jerusalem; the Marzelites refer to followers of right-wing activist Baruch Marzel, and La Familia is the racist fan group of the Beitar Jerualem football club.
The opposition leader also accused the Israeli media of whitewashing Jewish terror by labeling acts as revenge or as price tag operations. “It is terror, and these are terrorists, full stop,” he wrote.
Herzog is set to take part in a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening to mark the stabbing attack by a Jewish extremist at the Jerusalem gay pride parade.
For once, I agree with Herzog.
I believe that Herzog is a terrorist.
In that case free all the Jews in prison for killing Arabs just as you freed 67 Arab murderers last year for no reason. These secular Torah hating government bums who are mechallel shabbos are full of it. Arabs get less prison than this poor heroic yid shlissel. Shlissel stood up for the holiness of yerushalayim. A true Pinchus of our generation. And don’t forget the Maccabees who slew the traitor jews who brought a pig into yerushalayim. Shlissel we envy your chelek leoylom habbah
They are terrorists just like the ones who killed the arab kid last summer and should be treated as such. My question is why isn’t any politician taking the bleeding heart EU and state dept to task for not uttering a sound when tens of innocent jewish men women and children are stoned, shot at and stabbed by arabs. To make it even more astounding is many of these arab murderers are honored by the PA and no politician says a word about it.
Forced feeding of pig, will probably deter the animals on both sides.
Herzog is 100% right. The problem is, the government does not treat them equally. The Jew ALWAYS gets the worse deal.
I guess this means the crazy chasid who stabbed the gays will be out very soon, either after he stops eating or for some other goodwill gesture on Bibi’s part.
I want to call a pro gay rally to be held on Cheshvan 17 the very sad day that many years ago began the destruction of gay, transvestite and lesbian pride throughout the world. On that very sad day for the gay community G-d brought a flood.
