Elchanan Ostrowitz is not expressing remorse for the graffiti price tag attack against Yad Vashem, as was reported by YWN-ISRAEL.
Defense attorney Yair Nehorai appealed on behalf of his client to the Jerusalem District Court to have his client released on bail to house arrest after the magistrate�s court rejected the request.
Ostrowitz reportedly explained he had absolutely no intention of blemishing the memory of the Kedoshim of the Holocaust HY�D, as well as not wishing to cause anguish to the survivors, but he felt compelled to protest against those who capitalize on those horrific events to achieve their goal of establishing a government and rule at any cost.
Ostrowitz apologized to the Kedoshim and the survivors for causing any anguish or tarnishing their memory, explaining he is a descendent of a survivor and many of his grandparents and family members of that generation were murdered HY�D but he is not sorry for the words written including �Hitler, thanks for the Holocaust�, �The State of Israel � The spiritual Auschwitz of Mizrachi yiddishkheit�, �Jews awaken, the Zionist regime is not protecting us but hurting us�, The Zionist leaders wanted the holocaust� and �If there was no Holocaust the Zionists would have invented it�.

You can thank preverted idealogy for this attitude and action.
I notice he’s still living in E”Y, so I guess he doesn’t hate it enough to leave. The judge should give him a choice – two years in the IDF, or find somewhere else to live. It’s not like he’s contributing anything anyway.
He is a product of his environment and upbringing.
Not much more to say.
#2, Of course he doesn’t hate Eretz Yisroel. Why would you suggest such a thing? Eretz Yisroel is the home of every Jew. He’s against the medinah, as almost every posek and godol hatorah was before it became a fait accompli. Why should being against the zionist heresy mean that he should leave EY?
