Israel's new 'Champagne'?
A small bomb exploded Thursday morning outside the home of moonbat Hebrew University Professor and Israel prize winner Zev Sternhell (for those who don't know who he is, please follow those links). Sternhell, who has advocated violence and declared war against the 'settlers' in the past, was 'lightly wounded'.Israel's Hebrew 'Palestinian' daily reports that a flier was found near the scene that offered a NIS 1.1 million reward for the murder of members of
Police sources told Israel Radio on Thursday that signs increasingly point to extreme right-wing elements who may have been responsible for planting the explosive that wounded Sternhell.I do not favor violence. But my cynicism about this story stems from matters that became public knowledge after the murder (by whom?) of Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin (important videos at that last link). In particular, a General Security Service (Shin Bet) 'operative' named Avishai Raviv (code name 'Champagne') was ordered by the (Shin Bet) to perpetrate a series of dirty tricks worthy of Donald Segretti in order to discredit Rabin's political opponents. The Shin Bet is under the Prime Minister's direct command. Among Raviv's 'tricks' was the creation of the t-shirt below, which was handed out at a rally in Jerusalem.
Senior political figures expressed outrage at the news of the attack on Sternhell, which has touched a nerve given the country's sensitive history of politically-oriented violence. In November 1995, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in Tel Aviv by a right-wing extremist opposed to his peace policies.
"We are returning to the dark spectacle of pipe bombs that are aimed at people, in this case against a very gifted person who never shies away from expressing his opinion," Defense Minister Ehud Barak said.
"We won't let any elements, from any dark corner of Israeli society, to harass people who let their clear, lucid, unique voices like that of Ze'ev Sternhell be heard," Barak said.
"The attack on Professor Sternhell is a cowardly, terrorist act of those with no sense of justice," the chairman of the Knesset's internal affairs committee, Labor MK Ophir Pines-Paz, said.
"I call on the police and the Shin Bet security service to make every effort to locate the perpetrators quickly and to make sure that they be put under lock and key for many years."
"They better not talk to us about a few bad weeds," Meretz chairman Haim Oron said. "These phenomena spring up on the right-wing [of the political spectrum]."
"This thuggish and dangerous act is the result of the continuing see-no-evil approach toward the vicious violence against soldiers and police officers and anyone else who doesn't agree with the brutish section of the extreme right wing," Oron said.
Raviv, who 'hung out' with Yigal Amir - the man serving a life sentence for murdering Rabin - never was punished for his actions. But a 19-year old girl who was totally innocent sat in jail for six months for 'failing to prevent' Rabin's assassination. Last year, Ami Ayalon, who was appointed the head of the Shin Bet after Rabin's assassination, admitted that then-19-year old Margalit Har Shefi was sent to jail based on lies told by Ayalon and others.Looks like the 'party' is starting early this year. They're afraid of new elections in which the man they love to hate might win.

I wouldn't be surprised if the moonbat Left planted the bomb and the fliers to make the Right look bad. It would right up their alley!
NormanF,
That's exactly what I was hinting.
