Israel jails Jewish extremist for 6 months without charges, trial following attacks

Israel has jailed a Jewish extremist for six months without charges or trial, expanding a crackdown against militant Jews and deploying a contentious measure typically used for Palestinians suspected of staging attacks.

This was the first time the measure, known as administrative detention, was applied against an Israeli since the crackdown began following a pair of deadly attacks last week.

Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon signed an order late Tuesday that jails extremist Mordechai Meyer, from the West Bank settlement of Maaleh Adumim, for six months.

A statement from Yaalon's office said Meyer, who Israeli media reported to be 18 years old, was being held in connection to "his involvement in violent activities and recent terror attacks."

This isn't the first time extremist Jews have been in the news in Israel. Its was an extremist Israeli Jew that assassinated Yichak Rabin. Israel does not tolerate terrorism or violence whether it come from Palestinians or Israelis, Jews, Christians or Muslims. However, Israel welcomes peace-loving people from all faiths. Extremism in any religion is dangerous and violates the teachings of their religion.

All religions have extremists but as we can see, Muslims apparently have greater numbers of extremists and unfortunately are the most organized and well-funded. That's why they are so dangerous. The extremists are evil terrorists that must be eliminated militarily, politically and economically. They do not follow the teachings of God, which is the same God that Jews and Christians have. At the same time we must respect the innocent people who practice Islam. Israel does that. There are Muslims in the Knesset, IDF and one in their Supreme Court. IDF soldiers go out of their way to avoid harming innocent Palestinians while at the same time going all out to fight the terrorists. They treat all injured parties, friendly or enemy. Does it make it harder to fight the real bad guys, yes; Is there collateral harm to innocents, (especially when the terrorists uses human shields of innocents.) yet, but Israel does everything they can to stay on the moral high ground, yet despite these efforts, and efforts to come up with peaceful solutions, which are all sabotaged by the terrorists, Israel is still criticized to harshly by many.

SCPO David Lockwood - Senior Chief; Indeed, and by extremists of religious bent at that.

I wonder when the "Christian Fundamentalists" are going to get involved?
