- TEL AVIV - An Israel daily
newspaper reported Saturday about an article calling for the castration
of Palestinians living in Israel "as a means of fighting terrorism."
-
- The article published last week in the leading Israeli-Russian
daily Novosti was called "How To Force Them To Leave" and written
by Marian Belenki, one of the paper's prominent journalists.
-
- It said that the threat of castration may be strong enough
to encourage the Arabs to leave the country.
-
- According to the newspaper Ha'aretz, "the author
also proposed that the Chinese method for lowering birth rates be implemented
in Israel for the Arab population in order to lower their birth rates.
According to this method, people who have more than one child are deprived
of various benefits, lose their jobs, and are under threat of exile. Cash
prizes for young men who voluntarily agree to the castration will also
be provided, according to the proposed method."
-
- The paper's editor, Leonid Petorkovsky, claimed, according
to the newspaper that "the publication of the article was a grave
mistake, explaining that the editors overlooked the contents of the article
and checked only grammar and spelling."
-
- However, "what is even more surprising than the
fact that the piece got published, is that the paper did not receive any
responses from readers or public representatives of the Russian community.
It should be noted that the paper is one of two leading dailies of the
Russian community in Israel."
