The 77 indictments filed by the Israeli Public Prosecution Office in recent years for incitement to violence and racism were against the Palestinians of the 1948 Occupied Territories.
These data were included in the report written by the Reform Center for Religion and State, which also stated that there is a large gap between the percentage of convictions and the danger of the penalties imposed on the Palestinians of the occupied interior compared to the Jews. Conclusions also indicate that the Public Prosecution tends to refrain from filing indictments for Incitement against public figures, especially rabbis.
This is the first attempt made to analyze the law enforcement policy in relation to crimes of incitement. Data showed insufficient "enforcement of the law" and a gap between the treatment method between the Palestinians of the Occupied Interior and the Jews. For example, the period that passed from the field event until the submission of the indictment was very short if it was for Palestinians, compared to a period of up to two years in case the accusation was for a Jew. Moreover, prison sentences for Palestinians are also much higher than for Jews.
With reference to the report, although most of the complaints lodged with Law Enforcement agencies in recent years for incitement were related to public figures, only eight of them have been brought to trial; six were Palestinians.
According to lawyers Nrof and Eerz Lkhofeski from the Reform Center, in the Law Enforcement Center headed by the Legal Consultant of Government and Public Prosecution, there is "A rumbling and prolonged silence towards the irrational incitement against rabbis who brag about sharia law." This policy can neither be applied to Muslim clerics, nor can it be equally implemented to Jews and Arabs." The report is unknown to us, so we cannot address the data published therein," Public prosecution replied.
