What's good for the gander looks good for the goose.

I think it’s hard not to read about Israeli politics and not notice an organization called “Peace Now”. There are some days when I think that almost all the motions which come before the Israeli high court are launched by this organization.

Apparently, it’s an Israeli human rights group but it seems most selective about whose human rights it will represent. I may be wrong or ignorant of all of Peace Now’s activities/history, but I get the feeling that the human rights of religious Jews has somehow never met the litmus test to qualify for Peace Now’s special brand of human rights support.

Anyway, the Jerusalem Post is reporting that the Hebron Jewish community is not disposed to give Peace Now a pass on their own special brand of rhetoric:

The leaders of the Hebron Jewish community sent a letter on Wednesday night to left-wing activist group Peace Now, demanding that they take back their claims that a group of settlers broke into a house in one of the city's Palestinian neighborhoods.

According to a report on Army Radio, members of the community demanded that Peace Now apologize for the accusations, and declared that if the organization did not retract its statements, they would sue for slander. A large group of Hebron yeshiva students moved into the house on Monday evening, saying they had bought the house from its Palestinian owner, and produced documents to prove it.

About time. In other news, Palestinian 'militants' target a school bus of Jewish children. I suppose this falls under the category of 'resisting the occupation'. I can’t wait to hear Peace Now’s position on this as I am sure it will be quite novel - providing Jewish school children meet the human rights litmus test used by Peace Now.
