So when does the "Rule of Law" actually apply?

MK Aryeh Eldad is apparently an evil inciter. He dared to quote the Israeli law that states that anyone who tries to give away Israeli sovereign territory has committed an act of treason whose punishment is death or imprisonment. He asked Mazuz to investigate Olmert for treason.
All across the spectrum, cheap politicians are attacking MK Aryeh Eldad for quoting the law as it is written. The specter of Rabin has been raised again.
So just color me confused, because if all he did was quote the law, then how is he inciting for murder? Does the law incite for murder?
If they don't like the law, then strike it down, but at the moment it is the law, even if it is unenforced. And perhaps therein lies the problem. The law is inconvenient to some (who always happen to demand that the "Rule of Law" be followed), so they demand it be not only ignored, but never mentioned in polite company.
How is the average citizen to know what laws apply to him, when clearly some double-standards are officially in place, but knowledgeable only to a select few.
