Defense Minister Yoav Galant extends detentions of two Jews of being involved in an incident in Huwara, despite the court ordering their release.

 

Adi Keidar

We spoke with Atty. Adi Keidar from the Honenu legal advocacy group, who is representing the detainees, tells Israel National News that the incident is passing under the radar since "the media is completely enlisted to the (anti-judicial reform) protests."

Last week, after a Palestinian Arab murdered two young Jewish brothers in the Huwara, Jews descended on the town to protest the murder. During the ensuing confrontation, several vehicles and structures were set alight, and participants on both sides were injured.

Keidar states: "We received administrative orders for two young friends, one a minor, who allegedly where involved in the Huwara incidents, and there isn't a bit of evidence that can bring them to a criminal trial, the Defense Minister, based on info which we claim is false and biased, decided to administratively detain them for four months. Punishment and detention without trial and without any ability to defend themselves. That's what's happening with this unfortunate situation.s:

Regarding the claim that the information on which the arrest was based was false, Keidar says, "We know that our clients, even if there's proof that they were at the scene, there were hundreds of people there, and they were not connected to the severe events that they are being accused of. The one that needs to answer is the Shin-Bet, which admits that it doesn't have real concrete and criminal evidence but that the things are based on things said by those who collaborate with the Shin-Bet. These can be Huwara residents or others, but it's clear that the credibility of the info is close to nonexistent. If the info was public, they could look into it and see that it's false, or they would put them on criminal trial, and we could defend them. The current situation is both unbearable and not just under the circumstances. To give the Americans a treat at the expense of the detainees."

According to Keidar, at best, the detainees could have been sent to house arrest as a mitigated punishment, but the decision to send them to detention at a detention center, despite the court's decision to release them. "Their conditions are bad, they're cut off, and so on, its a complex and unnecessary situation," says Keidar, who adds that the district court, where a discussion was held on Sunday regarding the detainees, is authorized to approve the order and is set to make a decision on it on Monday.

"We questioned the Shin-Bet's expert to get information out of him, we expressed our opinion, and we hope the court will listen and rule that the order is unjust and cancel it or shorten it," concludes Keidar.

Former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg a Frum Jew Says that the murdered Yaniv Brothers are "nor My Brothers" His Sympathies Lie with Huwara!

 

Former Knesset Speaker Avraham Burg said that he has more sympathy for the residents of the Arab village of Huwara than for the Jewish community of Har Bracha following the murder of two Har Bracha residents in Huwara a week ago and the subsequent riot in Huwara by a group of Jews.

"It is not wise to sympathize with the people on Har Bracha - it is wise to sympathize with the victims in Huwara," Burg told 103FM Radio. He added that "Har Bracha should be evacuated. It cannot be allowed to remain."

Burg was filmed confronting police on Friday when he attempted to enter Huwara to demonstrate his solidarity with the residents of the Arab village. He has not visited the family of Hallel and Yagel Yaniv, the Jewish brothers who were murdered in Huwara last Sunday.

While he said that he feels bad for the Yaniv family, which lost two sons and brothers, he asked: "Do I have to go therein person and express my grief? The answer is no."

"They are not my brothers, I don't have genetic brothers, I have brothers in terms of ideology," he claimed.

In a video posted on social media on Friday, Burg is seen attempting to advance toward Huwara, but he is blocked by the Border Police officers who push him to the ground.

The editor of the haredi newspaper Mishpacha, Yossi Elitov, said in response to Burg's actions: "As the sage Rashi says, when our people fall, try fall as low as possible."

The Border Police stated: "The forces acted properly and with the sensitivity required to carry out their complex mission, we expect cooperation and listening to the security forces [from the public and public officials] in every mission - especially during these days."

Burg served as Speaker of the Knesset for the Labor Party from 1999-2003. In 2011, he declared himself to be 'post-Zionist, and has compared the State of Israel to Nazi Germany, most notably is his book 'Defeating Hitler.'

YaYa Fink A Frum Jew Raises Half Million Dollars for Terrorists

 

The mother of two young brothers killed in a terror attack this week has criticized a crowdfunding campaign seeking donations for Huwara, the village where the shooting occurred, after rampaging settlers set fire to numerous cars and buildings in response.

Labor party member Yaya Fink launched the online crowdfunding campaign the morning after Sunday night’s riot in which a 37-year-old Palestinian man was killed, some 300 were wounded — four of them seriously — and dozens of buildings and vehicles were torched.

The riot came hours after the brothers, Hallel Yaniv, 21, and Yagel Yaniv, 19, were killed in a terror shooting in Huwara. Their killer has not yet been caught.

“I get up every morning looking out at the village of murderers Huwara, where the murderer of my sons is walking around,” Esti Yaniv said in a video posted online Thursday. “The village of murderers, where treats were handed out [to celebrate the murder].”

She said she was “horrified” by the crowdfunding effort, “a backward campaign for the people who handed out baklavas after the murder of my children.”

“Faced with this campaign of darkness, we’ve come with a campaign to bring light,” she added.

Fink said he was driven to act after seeing the “horrifying” footage from the rampage, which showed yarmulke-wearing Jewish perpetrators gathering for an evening prayer quorum in front of Huwara buildings engulfed in flames.

“As a religious Jew myself… I felt that I could not be silent under such circumstances,” Fink said. “They’re creating a warped new Judaism and bearing the name of the true one in vain.”

Asked how he planned to transfer the money to Huwara residents, Fink said he was getting in touch with community leaders in Huwara using former Israeli security officials as conduits and speculated that it would take roughly three weeks to identify the exact families whose homes and businesses were vandalized. Background checks will also be conducted to ensure that none of the money reaches Palestinians with a history of security offenses.

Hundreds of Israelis sent him threatening messages for launching the initiative, but Fink said the thousands who decided to donate offered “a bit of optimism amid a difficult period when the news is filled with extremists, the terrorists and the arsonists.”

The Left in Israel Calling "For Blood & Violence"

 

The publicist Yehonatan Geffen, who has been a columnist in Yediot Achranot for many years, shamelessly called for murderous violence against supporters of the current government, calling on opposition leader Yair Lapid to “take off his gloves.”

Geffen dedicated his last column, published on Thursday, to Lapid: “We’ve been close friends for over 40 years. In our strong and long-standing friendship, we have an unwritten contract not to talk about politics.”

Referring to the protests against the judicial reform, he wrote: “Yair Lapid, as a professional boxer, I’m asking you, in these terrible days – please take off your gloves and hit them mercilessly, even below the belt. A back right, a blow to the chin, and a deadly knockout.”

“No more Mr. Nice Guy. Don’t be prime minister but be tough, even violent. Don’t be afraid, my friend Yair. I have no doubt that we will restore justice and democracy and defeat the forces of pervasive evil. Hate will be replaced by love.”

Israel Nobel Prize Winner: ‘I’m Deathly Scared Of Charedim, They’re Against Education And Work’

 During an interview at a cultural event on Shabbat in Beersheva, Professor Dan Shachtman, An Israeli nobel laureate in chemistry, blasted the chareidi public in Israel, using harsh language to describe them.

“They are sitting on the udders and milking the State of Israel,” Prof. Shachtman said. “I am deathly scared of the chareidim. Israel due to its demography is going in a negative direction.”

Speaking to journalist Lior Kenan, Shachtman said that he is not worried about Iran as he believes the Ayatollahs’ reign will end and the country will become a thriving democracy. However Israel has “one faction which is growing swiftly, “blessed with children thank G-d” [the professor stressed this scornfully] and continuously increasing. These are people who are against education, against enlightenment, against work.”

When asked by the interviewer whether he wasn’t making a sweeping generalization, Shachtman insisted that he was not generalizing.

He added that “we as a democracy will continue to deteriorate. In future it will be impossible to establish a coalition without the chareidim. Now it is still possible to rectify, I hope that the politicians sitting in Jerusalem will be able to overcome this problem.”

Responses to Shachtman stressed his “autoantisemitism”  as well as his distortion of the facts: Chareidi woman are almost all employed and over 50% of chareidi men work. Journalist Yishai Cohen simply brought a picture from Shachtman’s abortive attempt to stand for Israeli president (he received just one vote) when he visited chareidi rabbis to canvass support. Cohen wrote that “then he didn’t seem so scared of chareidim.”

US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides Threatens Smotrich with death stating that He Would “throw him out of the plane” to Washington

US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides slammed Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Friday in a fiery statement calling him “stupid” and threatened he would “throw him out of the plane” to Washington, according to a report Friday in the Hebrew-language edition of Israel Hayom, quoting a report by Israel’s Channel 12 News.

The condemnation came in response to words by the Finance Minister earlier this week in which he liked a tweet in which Davidi Ben Zion, deputy head of the Samaria regional council, said the terrorist hotbed town of Huwara “a village that should be wiped out.”

“To avoid all doubt: in my words I did not mean to wipe out the village of Huwara, but only to act in a targeted manner against the terrorists and supporters of terrorism within the town and to exact a heavy price from them in order to restore security to the residents of the area,” he wrote in a tweet.

The harsh words followed the execution-style murders of two Israeli brothers by a terrorist who shot them at point-blank range as their vehicle stood in traffic in the center of Huwara.

Dozens of local Jewish residents flooded into Huwara after the murders, and torched homes and local businesses.

It is not the first time Jews have been attacked in Huwara, which they are forced to drive through when traveling to and from Samaria, because there is no bypass road that allows them to avoid the town.

Smotrich called on Jewish residents in the region to to “let the government do its job” and not to take the law into their own hands.

Darius inscription shard isn’t authentic ..."Venehepach Hu"

 

The Israel Antiquities Authority said Friday that an ancient shard bearing the name of the Persian king Darius the Great that was announced this week to much fanfare was “not authentic.”

In the Wednesday announcement, the authority said the fragment found by a hiker in Israel’s Judean lowlands region was the first discovery of an inscription bearing the name of Darius I anywhere in Israel.

Darius was the father of King Ahaseurus, widely considered the biblical Achashverosh from the story of Purim, which Jews will celebrate next week. Archeological groups in Israel have a habit of announcing finds connected to Jewish festivals close to the dates of the celebrations.

The Israel Antiquities Authority said Friday that an ancient shard bearing the name of the Persian king Darius the Great that was announced this week to much fanfare was “not authentic.”

In the Wednesday announcement, the authority said the fragment found by a hiker in Israel’s Judean lowlands region was the first discovery of an inscription bearing the name of Darius I anywhere in Israel.

Darius was the father of King Ahaseurus, widely considered the biblical Achashverosh from the story of Purim, which Jews will celebrate next week. Archeological groups in Israel have a habit of announcing finds connected to Jewish festivals close to the dates of the celebrations.

The site of the find, the ancient city of Lachish, was a prosperous city and a major administrative hub 2,500 years ago. The inscription was believed to be a receipt for goods received or shipped.

The ostracon, a potsherd that was used as a writing surface, bears an Aramaic inscription that reads “Year 24 of Darius,” which would have dated it to 498 BCE.

However, on Friday, the IAA said that following the publication of the find they were approached by an expert who participated in an excavation expedition last August, who informed the authority that she had created the inscription “while demonstrating to a group of students the manner in which sherds were inscribed in ancient times.”

“She then left the sherd on the site, which led to the erroneous identification. She was questioned and said this was done unintentionally and without malice,” the statement said.

“The IAA takes full responsibility for the unfortunate event,” said Prof. Gideon Avni, the antiquities authority’s chief scientist, who noted the piece had been examined by two leading researchers.

“As an institution that strives for the scientific truth, we are committed to correcting the mistake that was made and making it known to the public,” he said.

“In terms of ethical and scientific practices, we see this as a very severe occurrence. Leaving the newly inscribed sherd on the site was careless, and led to the mistake done by the researchers and distorted the scientific truth,” Avni said.

“This once again proves that only finds discovered in controlled archaeological excavations should be considered 100% authentic. All other finds should raise questions regarding their authenticity,” he said.

Avni said the incident highlighted the problem of identifying new inscriptions on ancient finds and said the incident “will refresh proper procedures and policies with all foreign expeditions working in the country.”

Darius I reigned from 522–486 BCE, during which time the Persian Achaemenid Empire grew rapidly to encompass a large swath of the ancient world. But no written evidence of Darius’ reign has ever been found in Israel.

The hiker who found the shard, Eylon Levy, international media adviser to President Isaac Herzog, was strolling in Tel Lachish in central Israel last December when he picked up a stone that seemed to have strange markings on it. When he looked closer, he saw that it was a piece of pottery with scratches that could be writing.

Levy found the ostracon in the remains of the Persian royal administration building at Tel Lachish, which was first excavated in 1930 and has hosted hundreds of archaeologists through the decades.

“Funnily enough, [the potsherd] was right there, directly next to the wooden pergola that had been built for the visitors,” Levy told The Times of Israel last week after being informed by the IAA that it was authentic. “It was right there, right under everyone’s noses this whole time.”

Tel Lachish hosts tens of thousands of visitors each year, and a new visitor’s center is expected to open in the coming months.

Before the internet and before Leiby Kletzky there was a MURDER in 1986. The largest cover-up perpetrated by frum jews in the 20th century. The murderer is still free. WHY?

 

I have been in touch with Chaim's classmates in the last 24 hours, and if we keep up this momentum, we will be able to finally resolve this atrocity! (See side bar on the case)

The classmates have formed a chat and are anxious to get to the bottom of this. 

We need anyone who knows anything even if you think it is "nothing" to come forward, it might actually be part of a puzzle. 

We are also looking for Chaim's fellow summer campers, some believe that his last camp experience may very well be crucial to the case.

We are looking for people who can pressure Rabbi Avraham Cooper, who lives in Lakewood, to talk about his last private conversation with Chaim z"l, even though Cooper is elderly, he must talk and talk now. Asking people from Lakewood to give us info where Creepy Cooper davens. 

To my women readers: 

You are all, hopefully, mothers, and I'm asking you to find it in your hearts to help your sister, also a mother, who had her son brutally murdered. As mothers you can break this wall of silence. If your husband learned in Long Beach and is in his 50s, he may know something. If he went to camp with Chaim, Chaim may have confided with him some of his fears. 

This week will be Parshas Zachor! 

We must also remember that a Jewish child whose name means "life" was never given the chance to be a father. Was never given the opportunity to be a star amongst his Jewish brothers and sisters, but instead his neshama was mercilessly snuffed out by a murderer who is still enjoying his life!

For those familiar with the case, just know, the polish janitor has been ruled out of the equation. Also ruled out is the theory that it was an antisemitic incident! Also ruled out was robbery. 

All now agree that it was an inside job, perpetrated by a fellow classmate or a staff member. 

Meaning that this was done by a "Shomer Torah Umitzvois!. 

He must face justice, no matter his age, how big his beard is, or how big of a family he has or how long ago this happened!
