['With God's help, the journalists at Haaretz will be murdered just like in France']

Publication of the cartoon gets lots of threatening comments including 'With God's help, the journalists at Haaretz will be murdered just like in France'

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris last week Haaretz published a daring cartoon juxtaposing journalists killed in Gaza by Israel during the brutal summer slaughter with the journalists killed at the office of the satirical magazine in Paris. This set off a chain reaction which ultimately led to calls for murdering Haaretz journalists after Ronen Shoval, founder of the neo-Zionist and proto-fascist ImTirtzu movement, called for an investigation of the newspaper's editors.

According to the Mondoweiss report, the offending cartoon by Noa Olchowski was published with a series of cartoons Haaretz ran in their Hebrew edition, a project by the site's graphic designers to pay tribute to Charlie Hebdo cartoonists gunned down at the magazine's Paris office. Including the hashtags #JeSuisCharlie and #JeSuisGaza it reads (original Hebrew):

10 journalists killed in attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris (top), about 13 journalists killed last summer in attack on Gaza (bottom).



Shoval, who is running in the primary election of the religious Zionist Habayit Hayehudi "Jewish Home" political party called for the investigation "on suspicion of 'defeatist propaganda' under Statute 103 of Israel's penal code" on his Facebook page. Users of the social media site weighed in, Haaretz reported several of the threats:

["suspicious items."]

He tried to stab a police officer. A search of his car turned up "suspicious items." The Islamic State recently called upon Muslims in the West to attack police, and we have seen Muslims attack police recently in Canada and New York City. "Man armed with knives killed by police at Ohio airport: cops,"

"A 41-year-old Ohio man armed with several knives tried to buy a plane ticket with a fake ID before being gunned down by police after lunging at an officer with a blade outside the Columbus airport, police said. Hashim Hanif Ibn Abdul-Rasheed had parked illegally outside the ticketing terminal and was acting bizarrely as he tried to buy a ticket to an undisclosed location Wednesday afternoon. He showed off a woman's ID to try and make the buy at  one point before he was rebuffed, cops said.

[Gothenburg's main mosque was evacuated on Friday night after a bomb threat, exacerbating Swedish Muslims' fear of reprisals following this week's Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris.]

Gothenburg's main mosque was evacuated on Friday night after a bomb threat, exacerbating Swedish Muslims' fear of reprisals following this week's Charlie Hebdo massacre in Paris.


Three mosques in Sweden have suffered arson attacks in recent weeks, even before two Islamist gunmen killed twelve people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical magazine, on Wednesday.

"The person said with an extremely firm voice that "the mosque is soon going to blow", then he hung up," the mosque's press spokesman Mohammed El-Alti told TT of the threat.   

Around 120 people had gathered in the mosque to hear a lecture.  "They had to get out as quickly as possible and then the police came," El-Alti said. The police on Friday night assured that there was no risk that the threat could be successfully carried out, although they would give no details of what measures had been taken. 

"We have registered an offence of serious threats against the group," said  Ulf Lörstad from the local police. "We have received a whole lot of emails, and also someone rung us," El-Alti added.
