Anti-government protesters in Tel Aviv waving Palestinian flags. Jan. 28, 2023<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Neither the terrorist\u00a0slaughter<\/a>\u00a0of seven Jewish worshipers and the wounding of three others in Jerusalem\u2019s Neve Yaakov neighborhood, nor the near-fatal\u00a0shooting<\/a>\u00a0the following morning of a father and son at the entrance to the City of David National Park in the Israeli capital, prevented the anti-government protests from proceeding as scheduled.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lest they lose an inch of their self-claimed moral high ground, however, those who came out in disputed numbers for the fourth Saturday night in a row\u2014ostensibly to decry Justice Minister Yariv Levin\u2019s plans to overhaul the judiciary\u2014kicked off their demonstrations with a moment of silence for the victims.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Given the personal and national tragedy of the previous 24 hours, the gesture was warranted. Still, nixing the rallies would have been far more appropriate under the circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Organizers reportedly considered this option, but decided against it. That the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee was set on Sunday to step up discussions on judicial-reform legislation tipped the scales in favor of virtue signaling in town squares.<\/span><\/p>\n

As if that weren\u2019t bad enough, the business-as-usual spectacle that followed the 60-second acknowledgement of the occasion was abhorrent. Participants prancing around bemoaning a concocted danger\u2014the so-called \u201cdeath of Israeli democracy\u201d at the hands of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s coalition\u2014made a mockery of the actual mass murder of innocents.<\/span><\/p>\n

These were 14-year-old Asher Natan, married couple 48-year-old Eli and 45-year-old Natalie Mizrahi, who were gunned down while attempting to administer aid to the wounded; Raphael Ben-Eliyahu, 56; Shaul Hai, 68; 26-year-old Ilya Sosansky; and Ukrainian national Irina Korolova.<\/span><\/p>\n

The disrespect shown to the shattered families of the slain and injured didn\u2019t end there; among the sentiments voiced at the intersectional happenings was empathy for Palestinian terrorists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Channel 14<\/em>\u00a0correspondent Moti Kastel\u00a0asked<\/a>\u00a0a group of \u201cjudicial reform\u201d opponents in Tel Aviv whether they weren\u2019t \u201cashamed\u201d to be waving PLO flags, particularly on such an evening, in the immediate aftermath of the murder of Jews.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot at all,\u201d one answered. \u201cI\u2019m proud of it. We [Israelis] murder in return.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Another replied by pointing to the \u201cmurder\u201d of nine Palestinians in Jenin. It was an interesting way to describe the\u00a0elimination<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday of Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists plotting a major, imminent attack on Israelis.<\/span><\/p>\n

A third blamed\u2014who else?\u2014supporters of the new ruling coalition for the fatalities. He suggested that the right \u201ctell the dead: \u2018We chose for you to die. We didn\u2019t want to compromise, so that\u2019s why we\u2019re burying you.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Alqam Khayri, the 21-year-old terrorist who opened fire on men, women and children outside the Ateret Avraham synagogue on the eve of Shabbat, and was killed by police before continuing his massacre, couldn\u2019t have put it better himself. Like his Jewish in-crowd apologists, the Israeli-I.D.-carrying resident of a-Tur in eastern Jerusalem was aligned with Palestinians bent on the country\u2019s destruction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike them, though, he didn\u2019t distinguish between one Israeli government and another. He certainly wouldn\u2019t have cared about the issue that\u2019s supposedly at the root of the rallies: preserving the power of appointed judges at the expense of the elected legislature.<\/span><\/p>\n

His evil deed, as the response to it on the part of the protest movement, should and does shed light on the outcome of the November 1 Knesset elections.<\/span><\/p>\n
