SUMMARY OF OP-EDS FROM THE HEBREW PRESS
Yediot Ahronot argues that, „Until a prime minister not from the Right arises and ‘breaks’ the camp consensus, the State of Israel has been sentenced to live in the shadow of fear of the settlers in the territories.”
Ma’ariv professes that, „Despite the sensitivity, the draft law dubbed ‘The Silencing Law’, according to which the use of Nazi names or symbols would be considered a crime, violates the right to free speech. MKs forget that the freedom of expression is not ‘the freedom to say what I think is right’, but rather the right of the other to say what he thinks is right.”
Yisrael Hayom maintains that, „The elections in Egypt have proven that the revolution has not produced, unfortunately, an Egyptian Lech Wa
łęsa, Václav Havel or Nelson Mandela. The choice is between a Mubarak replica and the Muslim Brotherhood.”
