Silencing dissent
The Sharon administration continues its heroic campaign against teenage girls.
Were those who called Sharon a warmonger from the start correct after all? Seems they only misjudged his preferred targets.
More than the disengagement itself, Israel's current descent away from the heights of democracy saddens me. I pray it is only a temporary swoon.
UPDATE: The link to the JTA.org story broke twice, so I switched it to a Jeruslaem Post article. This one adds the detail that the girl was arrested after attending the funeral of the Jewish terrorist from a few days ago. Disgusting, but a crime? If she's suspected of plotting terror herself, why deport her? Why not charge her and try her? Just a suggestion.
