In Israel, what constitutes incitement?
• Ever since the assassination of Yitzchak Rabin, “incitement” has become the most sweeping term in Israel. Every peep against the government, and especially against the left, is immediately termed “incitement” and dispatched to be dealt with by the law. Arutz-7 has not caved in to this anti-democratic trend, and we do not confuse the terms “criticism” and “incitement”. Only an outright call, or an almost-outright call, for violence against a person will be categorized on Arutz-7 as incitement.
