A wicked man prospers because he is Jewish; a righteous man suffers because he is Palestinian. Could anything be more surreal than ex-cons defeating an innocent man in the High Court of Justice, and all because of an opinion piece?
On Friday my cellphone pinged: a recorded message from Itamar Ben-Gvir about his victory in the Supreme Court. He promised “Bara, bara” (“Get out!” in Arabic slang) to Sami Abu Shehadeh – and he delivered. That was enough to drive anyone crazy: A racist, Kahanist cabinet minister who is a convicted supporter of terrorism and who boasts about the war crimes he orders in Israeli prisons, incites the commission of crimes against humanity and celebrates his victory.
