Judge refuses to release judicial reform protester, cites 'Islamo-Nazi ideologies'

Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court judge Dr. Mario Klein refused to release a judicial reform protester from detention late on Thursday night, citing "Islamo-Nazi ideologies that openly declare their hope to destroy" Israel.

"We must not aid them," the judge wrote in his ruling. The protester, born in 2001 and represented by attorney Nir Alfasa, was one of the dozens arrested by police during nationwide "Day of Paralysis" demonstrations on Thursday.
