Full title: We will make soap out of you!': Violent right-wing protest against Jerusalem art exhibit reflects rising anti-democratic tide in Israelhttp://mondoweiss.net/2014/11/jerusalem-reflects-democratic
Over a speaker, one man threatened Nir Barkat, the right-wing mayor of Jerusalem, for allowing the event to take place. Nir Barkat, remember the best of your people in Jerusalem that have fought and are fighting for the city and this is just the beginning. All of this will be in spite of you and we will settle the score with you one of these days, he yelled.
The same man urged rioters to attack a woman who was attempting to enter the premise of the Hansen House. Listen up, dont be trannies! One of the organizers for BTSelem is standing over there. Dont let her go inside at any cost, he shouted.
A few rioters entered the event and threatened attendees. Guy Butavia, who works with the non-governmental organization Tayush, was hounded with threats which he discreetly filmed and uploaded in a series of Youtube videos. They have been translated into English below.
They [Nazis] peeled their [your fathers] skins off and made soap out of them! We will make soap out of you! The Arabs will make soap out of you!

Take extremist - give voice to their views - extrapolate to Israelis generally.
Just like what WingNetDaily does with Arabs and Muslims.

Kvetch about 972 instead of refuting or discussing the article.
Whining is much easier than actually entering into a conversation.

to do everything in their power to rein them in?

We do what we can, but those kooks continue to do their thing.
