Dear Sir

I  call upon you to open urgently an investigation on suspicion  of 
incitement to murder against the editor of Ma'ariv newspaper, Mr. Amnon 
Dankner, as well as against the editor of the paper’s internet edition. I 
refer to a "readers' poll" published on the Ma'ariv English-languague 
website today (April 23) on the  question "what to do with Vanunu” to 
which one of the answers the readers can choose is “kill him” (see site 
at the address www.maarivintl.com). In my view, when a mass-ciruclation 
paper publishes such a "poll”, in which the idea of murdering in cold 
blood a person whom large parts of the public regard with hatred is 
presented as a legitimate oprtion among the spectrum of activities 
condoned by the paper (and indeed, a large number of Ma’ariv readers did 
choose the option of murder, and the paper published this) then there is 
a clear and ptresent danger that one or more readers will draw from this 
“poll” legitimation to take up arms and actually implement what the paper 
considers a legitimate act. This is precisely the point at which freedom 
of speech ends and naked incitement to murder begins. It is you duty, as 
being in  charge of enforcing the laws of the state of Israel, to take 
appropriate steps. 


Sincerely Yours
