You clearly know a lot about fascism. Oh wait, you prefer anarchism.

Objecting to incitement is hardly fascism. Indeed, incitement is illegal in the U.S. as well. The Supreme Court has ruled that you cannot shout "fire!" in a crowded theater. Incitement to violence is a crime in many U.S. jurisdictions, but I'm sure that's OK with you. It's only not OK when it's the law in someone else's counrty.

FWIW, I doubt Attorney General Rubenstein will agree to do anything about this. Just because one leftist complains doesn't mean that the government, particularly a center-right government such as we have now, reacts.

It is way off base for you to be comparing the contents of a published op-ed opinion with shouting "fire" in a crowded theater. Do you really intend to call for the suppression by force of political speech that you disagree with? That is truly a frightening proposition.

I think he probably will, look at this:

(Israel) State Prosecutor Going After Kach Webmaster

The Israeli left see Kach organization as well as Arutz-7 as "a true threat to democracy and to our system of law and order".  

The Kach webmaster is in Brooklyn NY.  The U.S. State Department has already declared the Kach website "terrorist".   The Kach website is the only officially designated "terrorist website" in the world.

(further discussion here).

The article does not call for violence.
At any rate, the leftists who refularly doe call for violence against "settlers" and the religious are ignored.
