They're not cute anymore
Adin Shteinzaltz and company formed a "Sanhedrin" about 2 1/2 years back, trying to bring Moshaich closer, in the mind's eye if nothing else. They have made some quiet rulings without causing too much stir. One of their number was instrumental in the famous dud death curse on Ariel Sharon. Shayn, they were cute and little wacky, but harmless.
If the title linked article is the direction that they are headed, this Sanhedrin must be opposed by every Jew. Ruling that someone is a moser, and that they should be killed, even without a true Sanhedrin, is just scary. They even quote a Rambam (which they will be quick to tell you, we do not pasken like, if this were a kiruv shiur). While I heard nothing from them on the subject of the Neturai Karta, the nutjobs that side with Iran on the subject of wiping out Israel with nukes, they feel General Naveh is handing Jews directly into the hands of oppressors, so much that he is worthy to be killed, because he did not side 100% with settlers in every case. Of course, they do not advocate murdering the general, of course not. That is just what they said, not what they meant. Don't let anyone get the wrong idea.
Thank G-d that General Naveh has an army, and this collection of fundamentalist (keyword: mental) psychopaths does not .... yet.

Check out what the Sanhedrin itself says about this http://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/legal/psak5767Shevat28.html

It's always the same song. You must accept our authority. Even though you are pro-settlements , if you step one inch out of the line we draw, which we drew without any knowledge or consideration of military or other life and death factors, we will treat you as persona non grata. 100% compliance, even with impractical demands, is required, and 99% will not do at all. You must always trust us no matter how crazy we sound, and we do not trust you, even if you side with us 99% of the time. This matter needs to be tried in a court that we run, which will naturally only have Jewish Law, not our political interests at issue. Oh, yeah, I forgot, our political interests define Jewish Law, because they are our courts.
BLAH BLAH BLAH.

What makes this scary is that they are now getting involved directly in politics, and brazenly attacking individuals on individual actions. When such courts threatened Rabin in the past, with similar logic and psak (we were only quoting a Rambam, no one intended...), it resulted in the assassination of the PM and the banning of the "Rabbis". Rabin was a heck of a lot more wrong than Naveh. Naveh did squat compared to Rabin. It is pure political arrogance, not Jewish Law, that drives this "court".

It was never meant to be cute. They meant business from day one.
