For several days moderate right-wingers competed to distance themselves from Jack Teitel, who is accused of terrorism against Arabs, ultra-leftists, and messianics.
Whether Teitel is guilty or not, whether he is a Shabak agent or an honest Jew, is irrelevant. What matters is that he is accused of actions which many people on the right have quietly urged for years—and few Jews have dared to do.
Jewish terrorism against Arabs is no less efficient than Arab terrorism against Jews: it is a reasonable means to an important political end.
Jewish terrorism against ultra-leftists is an expected response to the campaign of terror and incitement ultra-leftists are waging against settlers.
And while we welcome Christians as good friends, missionary activity in the Land of Israel is unacceptable.
It is good to know that Teitel got an attorney from Honenu, a charity which defends right-wing Jews in Israeli courts.
