Jailed Jewish suspected extremist loses appeal to attend son’s circumcision

Beersheba District Court rejects a petition to allow Jewish extremist Meir Ettinger, who is currently in administrative detention, to attend his son’s circumcision.

The petition is turned down on the grounds he remains a threat to the public.

Ettinger, the 23-year-old grandson of murdered extremist rabbi Meir Kahane, is accused of being a key figure in a loose band of youths suspected of a string of nationalist hate crimes targeting Palestinians, Christians and even Israeli soldiers.
