The Israel Defense Forces decision to declare the Palestinian villages Bil'in and Na'alin closed military zones on Fridays for the next six months is a serious anti-democratic move. The order issued by the GOC Central Command implementing this restriction is an act against the freedom to demonstrate.
The fact that the army issued such a sweeping order, and that it is supposed to be in effect for such a long period, requires an immediate petition to the High Court of Justice asking it to block this dangerous and damaging move, which lacks any justification. The freedom to demonstrate is a basic right and an extension of freedom of expression.

Sorry Haaretz, IKF is acting logically here..A state cannot be Jewish and democratic at the same time. It has to chose. If it's democratic, it means it's for all its citizens not only Jews and if it's Jewish that it can't be democratic because it's not for all its citizens..Logical.
