Daphni Leef: 'Protests to get more extreme'
Jpost.com ^ | 11/24/11 | staff

Posted on 11/24/2011 10:54:36 AM PST by Nachum

Leef declares that that she is against violence but that people are becoming increasingly angry, hopeless.

Demonstrations will soon resume and could become more "extreme" than past protests, social protest organizer Daphni Leef said Thursday morning in an interview with Army Radio.

"I will always be against violence, but if this government does not pull itself together and work for its citizens, people will understand that they have nothing to lose," explained Leef. "The government is not even trying to show results or real changes... During the last two weeks we have begun feeling angry and insulted because we are simply not being answered."

The government commissioned the Trajtenberg Committee on Socio-Economic Change to seek a solution for the high housing cost across the country in response to the social protests over the summer. The committee's recommendations were passed in cabinet and constituted a substantive amendment to the country’s taxation regime. The new system, which will become law on January 1, 2012, include direct tax cuts for low-income families and tax hikes for higher-income earners and corporations.

“if this government does not pull itself together and work for its citizens, people will understand that they have nothing to lose”

That in a nutshell is the mindset of our unassimilated urban underclass, and the mentality is spreading. What reason does someone with no job (and almost 0 chance of finding one within the foreseeable future), a home in foreclosure, and no money have to get out of bed in the morning?

I don’t think we’ll see massive organized violence, but I’m sure we’ll see more individuals “falling down” and/or killing themselves.

I invite them to get more violent and then feel the consequences of their actions by being on the receiving end of enough violence to put them in the hospital or six feet under.

Funny how this bimbo doesn't consider the ballot box a viable option.

She'd first have to admit that she and many others screwed up by voting for Obama. Then she'd have to examine the politics of the last 4 presidents. If she did, she would HAVE to admit in order to get the real change she seeks, the alternative is a real Conservative. How about Herman Cain? That'd make for some real change...in the right direction this time.

Try Bill Whittle’s “3-1/2 days in the woods” answer. In this case, it would be 3-1/2 days in the desert.

"I will always be against violence"

The passive aggressive nature of the Left.

Look what you made me do.
This is all your fault.
I was against violence, but due to your actions, we now must have violent revolution to overthrow your police state.
I hope you're happy you bourgeois swine!

Well, Daphy Daphi, welcome to the law of unintended consequences. Hope you’ve learned a valuable lesson. Be careful what you wish for. A word of advice to the Daphnis of the world, be sure your brains are engaged before you put your mouths in gear.

"Where is the affordable housing? In many different countries in the world, governments have come to the conclusion that they must get involved in the housing market. This report doesn’t offer any solution, only a continuation of the same policies that brought us to the current crisis.”

So, she wants them to go the way of our housing market???

Someone should mention that this is about demonstrations and the government in Israel, not the USA. That the article appeared in the Jerusalem Post and refers to “Army Radio are clues. The main complaint is the high cost of housing.

"There will be violence unless the government begins dictating policy from the top down."

Lovely people.

Importantly, the radicals organizing the Israeli demonstrations are from the same gang organizing the US demonstrations. “Community organizers”, Democrat party operatives all.

And they are using Israel as a test bed for schemes they are planning to take to the US. In both cases the objective is the same, to attack the conservative political parties and to enable the leftist political parties.

They are more than happy to resort to violence to do this, as it is in their doctrines, so don’t believe for a moment that this is a non-violent movement. It is only non-violent until it is ordered to go on a rampage of destruction, arson, and mayhem.
