A Hasbara agent here is trying again to peddle the narrative about Israel being “secular” and “democratic”.

“In which country did a senior, state-salaried cleric urge his followers last month to become “warriors”, emulating a group of young men who had murdered a woman of another faith?

The cleric did so with impunity. In fact, he was only echoing other highly placed colleagues who have endorsed a book — again without penalty — urging their disciples to murder babies belonging to other religions.

Where can the head of the clergy call black people “monkeys” and urge the expulsion of other religious communities?

Where does a clerical elite wield so much power that they alone decide who can marry or get divorced — and are backed by a law that can jail someone who tries to wed without their approval? They can even shut down the national railway system without notice.

Where are these holy men so feared that women are scrubbed from billboards, college campuses introduce gender segregation to appease them, and women find themselves literally pushed to the back of the bus?

Is the country Saudi Arabia? Or Myanmar? Or perhaps, Iran?

No. It is Israel, the world’s only self-declared Jewish state.” https://www.jonathan-cook.net/2019-02-13/rabbis-fuel-holy-war-israel/?fbclid=IwAR0cfCbA3qFTGciQoS7pxma7IAFZ-eUCpctSM_HarMp0LUuFy7YkAf8qhoY
