side by side they posted two posts from Meretz, posts that happened 3 months apart, one by its leader Zahava Galon, and the other by a Meretz city branch.
In the words of Arutz 7:
מקרה 1: דתיים לא יכולים להשתתף במירוץ עירוני כי הוא מתקיים ביום שמקודש להם.
עמדת מרצ: לעזאזל הדתיים, יחי החופש!!
מקרה 2: דתיים לא יכולים להשתתף במירוץ עירוני כי הוא מתקיים ביום שמקודש להם.
עמדת מרצ: ביזיון!!!! הדרה!!!!
נחשו באיזו דת מדובר בכל אחד מהמקרים.
Case 1: religious people are unable to participate in a city race because it is taking place on their holy day.
Meretz's position: the religious should go to hell, freedom is more important!!Case 2: religious people are unable to participate in a city race because it is taking place on their holy day.
Meretz's position: Shame! Exclusion!!Guess which religion each case is referring to..
The two cases refer to the following posts..
Meretz Kfar Saba posted on March 14 about the Kfar Saba race taking place on Shabbos. They described it as protection of the freedom in the city, as Meretz standing as a wall for the freedom of the city residents and protecting their lifestyle.
It seems the religious people wanted Kfar Saba to move the race to another day,. so they could participate, and Meretz fought against the change and was proud to announce that the freedom of others to race on Shabbos was more important than the sensitivity to and participation of the religious elements in the city.
Zahava Galon, head of Meretz, posted on June 11, in praise of an alternative race arranged by an organization in protest of the Jerusalem Municipality shamefully deciding to hold its annual night race on a night that falls out on the first night of Ramadan. Doing so ensures that Muslims will not be able to participate in the race.
The organization, Ratzim llo Gvulot, is one that is a mixed running group - mixed with Muslims and Jews - and Zahava Galon encourages people to register for their alternative race in order to promote equal rights and coexistence..
So, as Arutz 7 pointed out, freedom is more important when it is religious Jews who want to participate, and they must be stopped in their attempt to curtail freedom, while coexistence is more important when it is religious Muslims who want to participate.
