Israel Television Channel One news correspondent Avi Fierst reported on Mabat tonight that Attorney General Mazuz explained to the cabinet today that the incitement law now requires that political expression can only be prosecuted as illegal if it "has a real possibility of leading to violence" and thus cases don't hold up in court as a conviction essentially requires that someone armed who is exposed to the expressions actually acts on the words.
"If you want us to act," Mazuz told the Cabinet, "then change the law."
Fierst's report on Mabat also featured, within considerable fanfare and graphics, the contents of a pamphlet that was "revealed" by Shabak (ISS) head Avi Dichter to the cabinet: "Instructions to the protester against disengagement from the Legal Center of the Headquarters for the Struggle Against Disengagement.
"Recommended to bring a camera -- if arrested -- pass to a friend."
"Equip yourself with a cellular telephone with the number of the legal assistance center in the memory."
"During the course of the interrogation say: "this is a political interrogation and thus I have nothing more to say."
"Record the names of the police for the purposes of filing a proper complaint."
"They always have complaints that they were hit and beaten, etc." Fierst explained.
