Interesting choice of Justice Minister.
Someone who wouldn't call for the genocide of Palestinians would probably be a good start.Check out the the expertise here on Israeli politics. Who would be your natural candidate for the job then?
Well if vermins like Ayelet Shaked are chosen as Justice Minister in Israel, I guess you yourself wouldn't look out of place as a natural candidate.
Ayelet Shaked of the ultra-nationalist Jewish Home party called for the slaughter of Palestinian mothers who give birth to "little snakes."
"They have to die and their houses should be demolished so that they cannot bear any more terrorists," Shaked said, adding, "They are all our enemies and their blood should be on our hands. This also applies to the mothers of the dead terrorists.”
The remarks are considered as a call for genocide as she declared that all Palestinians are Israel's enemies and must be killed.
"Behind every terrorist stand dozens of men and women, without whom he could not engage in terrorism. They are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads. Now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses. They should follow their sons, nothing would be more just. They should go, as should the physical homes in which they raised the snakes. Otherwise, more little snakes will be raised there."
So, do you actually have any reasons why you think she'd be a good justice minister? Or are you just trolling?Genocide, vermin, green smilies... How disappointing.
Ladies and gentlemen the Justice Minister of Israel.
Ah, the old I'm misrepresented....
That doesn't explain anything. This isn't a "Ich bin ein Berliner" scenario.
Video: Israeli police beating an Ethiopian-Jewish soldier spark a campaign against police brutality

On May 3, thousands of people took to the streets of Tel Aviv to protest police harassment of and brutality targeting Israelis of Ethiopian descent. The march began peacefully, but turned violent after reaching Rabin Square around nightfall.
Protesters hurled rocks and overturned a police vehicle, The New York Times reported (paywall). Police responded with stun grenades and water cannons. By midnight, “dozens of people were injured,” and police had made 43 arrests, according to Haaretz (paywall).
The protest was sparked by the public release of a video in which a police officer in the Tel Aviv suburb of Holon was recorded beating Damas Pakada, a uniformed soldier of Ethiopian descent, for no apparent reason.
Thus far, the event’s organizers have rejected any comparisons to recent protests in the American city of Baltimore. “The fact that we’re black doesn’t mean that we’re Baltimore,” Inbale Bogale, one of the protest’s leaders, told Haaretz. But the parallels are difficult to look past: As in Baltimore, tensions in Tel Aviv centered on the brutalization of an individual black man by police. The resulting tumult has served as a catalyst to air broader frustrations.
Ethiopian Jews came to Israel in large numbers during the 1970s and ’80s. Many were taking advantage of Israel’s Law of Return, which gives anyone of Jewish descent the right to claim Israeli citizenship. Between 1971 and 1991, Israeli intelligence sought to extract Jews from communist-ruled Ethiopia with assistance from US president Ronald Reagan’s administration. Emigration from Ethiopia hit its peak just before the fall of dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1991.
There are of course arguments to be made that life for Ethiopian Jews is better in Israel than it ever was in Ethiopia (at least under Mengistu’s rule). But the flareup between protesters and Tel Aviv police is indicative of simmering racial tensions. Fifty-two percent of Ethiopian-Israeli families live under the poverty line, according to a report jointly compiled by the Brookdale Institute and Israel’s ministry of immigration. Compare that to 16% for the general Israeli population.
In 2010, only 65% of Ethiopian-Israelis enjoyed regular employment. Those who do secure jobs still face a labor market rife with exploitation. “Ethiopians are an easy catch for manpower agencies,” Julie Wyler, a development officer for Tebeka, an Israeli NGO that provides legal advice for Ethiopians, told humanitarian outlet IRIN News. “They are allowed to hire employees for up to a year without providing social security under Israeli law, so they fire them after 11 months, just to re-employ them again afterwards.”
There are more blatant instances of discrimination, too, according to Tebeka. In 2012, protests erupted after reports surfaced that a group of Israeli landlords had conspired to deny property rentals to Israelis of Ethiopian descent. In 2011, the parents of 281 Ethiopian-Israeli children sued a school in Petah Tikva for denying them enrollment.
Perhaps the most infamous instance of anti-Ethiopian racism was revealed in 2013, however, when the Israeli ministry of health admitted to injecting a number of Ethiopian women with a long-acting birth control drug without informed consent. This is the same government body criticized in 1996 for destroying stocks of blood donated by Ethiopian Israelis out of fear that it might be infected with HIV.
The beating of Damas Pakada was “the last straw” for many Ethiopian Israelis, Inbale Bogale told Haaretz. Not least so because of his military affiliations. “We are the first to volunteer for the elite units in the military,” Dana Sibaho, a 29-year-old bookkeeper from Netivot, told the newspaper. “I personally know many in the community who’ve already fought in three wars. And the state—what it does it tell them to do? Pardon the expression, but it tells them to go stick it you know where.”
Ladies and gentlemen the Justice Minister of Israel.
Israel treats 4-year-old Gaza patient
Yara had her leg amputated in Gaza after she was hit by a truck in an accident, after her situation worsened, Hamas finally agreed to her parents request to let her get medical aid in Israel.
Yara from Gaza was transferred to Israel for medical treatment after she was injured in a car accident in the strip. Three months later she has managed to surprise hospital staff at the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon by starting to walk just a few days after she was given a prosthetic leg. Now released from the hospital, Yara can walk and even learned Hebrew during her time in the Israeli hospital. Back in Gaza, Yara was reunited with her parents for the first time since she left to get treatment in Israel.

Here's a positive for the non-haters. Perhaps all is not lost yet...
Ah those israeli humanists
What about the slaughtering of thousands of palestian "snakes" by IDF ?
Yeah, I don't think that post was directed at you. He said for the non haters. With attitudes like yours, there really is no hope.
The irony just cracks me up. You really have lost your mind.Israel treats 4-year-old Gaza patient

Bending over to the Israeli terrorists is not a solution either, I'll leave that to you brittons and americans. No shame in hating the only apartheid country left in the world, led by the most hateful far right racisct and colonialist government, and slaughtering thousands of innocent people since 1948 on the basis of historical events that have nothing to do with them.

That child will live in a prison most his life, will probably be in a war zone every 2 years, will never have the opportunities that most children in the western world will have to learn, to travel, to have a job and raise a family in peace, and it will be Israels fault
So maybe they should have left her to die then?
Like I said, with attitudes like yours, and others, there really is no hope.
Is correct, yet it seems to go over some peoples heads.I have no problem with them treating her, the propaganda is disgusting

It's a great thing that they've helped this girl, but this comes after a summer in which they killed 550+ kids. Surely, you can see why most of us have reservations, here. Or why, some would see this as a hollow, token gesture.Yeah, I don't think that post was directed at you. He said for the non haters. With attitudes like yours, there really is no hope.
How many of the 1.2 billion Muslims enjoy opportunities like most children in the West? Israel's fault of course.
The only way Muslims can enjoy opportunities like others in the West is immigration.
The majority won't be restricted to a life within the same 25 miles
Why would their Egyptian brothers trap them there?
Just propaganda mate.
The Egyptian military is largely funded by money from the US provided as part of the Israel - Egypt peace deal
