Kahane's grandson's plan to spark a revolt and bring down Israel

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4687342,00.html

Far-right activist Meir Ettinger was arrested by the Shin Bet, which says he developed a plan called 'the revolt', designed to inflame tensions and cause anarchy in order to hasten the end of days.

Meir Ettinger, who was arrested on Monday by the Shin Bet, was accused by the security service of heading a cell planning to commit a series of violent acts against Palestinians as part of a plan he branded "the revolt".

Ettinger, considered the Shin Bet's Jewish division's number one target, was arrested at his apartment in Safed. He is the grandson of far-right late US-born rabbi Meir Kahane, who advocated expelling Arabs from Israel and the Palestinian territories.

According to his worldview, violence must be committed in order to light the flames of conflict and cause the Israeli government to collapse. Anarchy would follow, and then a new order could be created.

....within the anti-Imperialist, anti-Western, anti-Zionist far Left.

Birds of a feather.

Ettinger denied in a blog post that he was the chief of a Jewish terror organization: "To tell you the truth, I don't know what they in the Shin Bet wanted me to organize, and they should definitely look for other people to cast for the roles they need in their show for the media, but this urge of the Shin Bet to create an atmosphere, to put up appearances as if there is some 'organization' it exposed, clearly illustrates to us what those in the Shin Bet understand and are so afraid of," he wrote.

Attorney Yuval Zemer, who represents Ettinger, said he felt the arrest was more a matter of public relations than a true investigation.

who lives inside Israel rather than deal with the scumbags who are actually conducting and enabling the attacks in places like Esh Kadesh.

is to distract from their refusal to do anything about the ISIS-like settlers in places like Esh Kodesh.

The settlers run Israel's government, so it is not going to interfere with settler terrorism. So they grabbed this schmuck to give the illusion that they take Jewish terrorism seriously.

But, since settlers are above the law, their options were narrow.
