    Democracy, right wing style

    Right-wing activists attack Beilin and Mitzna in Mitzpeh Ramon

    http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/409619.html

    Dozens of unruly yeshiva students in the southern town of Mitzpeh Ramon prevented an event in which Yahad chairman Yossi Beilin and Labor's Amram Mitzna were to promote the Geneva Accord from taking place on Sunday. Police arrested at least two demonstrators.

    Former justice minister Beilin and the former Labor leader Mitzna were attacked by some 60 demonstrators on their way to the hall in which the event was to take place. The protesters bashed on their cars' windshields and tried to hit Beilin. Security guards and a few policemen in the area managed to drive them away.

    Later on the demonstrators broke into the hall and prevented its doors from opening. Beilin and Mitzna stayed in a closed room outside the hall, fearing for their safety. After the cancellation of the event was announced they left the building.

    Mitzpeh Ramon mayor Sami Shushan on Sunday called Beilin to apologize for the incident. He invited Beilin and the Geneva Accord headquarters to hold a seminar at a later date.

    Why is it democracy? It's criminal!

    So, Sharon, what made you relate this news article with Democracy? Or the right's association with it?

    Anything to hurl mud on 50% of the population?

    But now that you've brought up the subject and since this is an article about Beilin, how democratic is Beilin in his shenanigans of undermining the State of Israel in his worldwide diplomatic contacts, with an agenda that goes against that of the elected democratic government?

    In your face, Beilin!

    Incidentally, a relevant line from the JPost report of this incident:

    Geneva Initiative spokeswoman Maya Bengal alleged Kach activists were among the protesters.
