Another Victory for the Honenu Organization and Jewish Farmers against Frivolous Harassment Lawsuit by Leftists aiding Illegal Bedouin. Bedouin ordered to pay Settlers court costs compensation.

*Another victory for the Honenu organization and the cannon lawyer, Adv. Nati Rom.*

The Legal Boomerang That Hit the Bedouin Outpost

The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court rejected a request for a “harassing threat” order filed by residents of an illegal Bedouin outpost against Jewish farmers in the Jordan Valley, after it was determined that no evidentiary foundation was presented for the claims.

In addition, *the Bedouins were ordered to pay compensation to the settlers for the frivolous proceeding.*

*Details of Court Decision*:  News from Yehuda-Shomron

*Left-wing extremist activist Aric Ascherman dragged a Bedouin to court to sue settlers, but in the end the court ruled against him and ordered him to pay thousands of shekels in costs*.

The case involves Suleiman Abu Faza’a, a Bedouin living in an illegal compound at the Rimonim Junction in Binyamin.

*Extreme left-wing activist Aric Ascherman from the organization “Torat Tzedek” helped him file a harassment lawsuit against 5 Jewish settlers, demanding they be removed from the area*.

He claimed they approached the compound with their sheep herds and damaged his property.

After a 5-hour hearing in which Attorney Nati Rom from the Honenu organization systematically dismantled the false allegations one by one, the judge ruled that there was no evidence linking 4 of the settlers to any of the claims. She canceled the orders against them and ordered the Bedouin to pay them 2,800 NIS in court costs.

Against one settler, she ruled that he may not graze his flock closer than 50 meters from the Bedouin’s structure.

The judge also issued a restraining order keeping the Bedouin and his family away from a nearby Jewish farmer and his fields.

This is yet another case in which extreme left-wing activists actually worsen the situation of the Bedouins.
Attorney Nati Rom welcomed the court’s decision and said:

*“Extreme left-wing organizations teamed up with a Bedouin from an illegal outpost and petitioned the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court, asking for an order against pioneering Jewish settlers who legally graze their flocks with state permits.*

In the hearing, we showed that dozens of terrorist attacks and arsons against Jews originate from this illegal Bedouin outpost, and that the claimants did not have even a shred of evidence against the settlers.”
“The court rejected the request and ordered the Bedouin and the left-wing organizations to pay court costs to the settlers. We hope this decision will resonate and that the phenomenon of anarchists and extreme left elements stopping harassing the courts and the settlers with baseless lawsuits will end.”

An Atrocity Grows in Brooklyn
Who gave permission for a confined protest to turn into a menacing march?

Thank you Sara! You are on the mark when you write
"Who gave permission for a confined protest to turn into a menacing march?"

My comments:

I too was on Ocean and L on that evening before 7pm with my husband. We were escorted to the Shul, we attended the event, and spoke to some vendors and then left.  I didn't really see the protesters yet close by but there were lots of police.  I returned later with  friends. This time I saw and heard the protesters.  We were escorted into the event.  The protesters  were down the block. We left after 9pm. They seemed to have disappeared around then and apparently marched through the neighborhood.... 

Were they marching around the neighborhood before 7pm as well?

The next day I saw offensive, intimidating hate videos that took place on residential streets nearby the event. 

A confined Free Palestine protest should never get a permit!...let alone be allowed to be a marching protest spewing hatred and threatening a community.

People should be protected under the law! However. these hate spewing protesters were and are protected to threaten a neighborhood, under the guise of freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

Under Mamdani how can we best respond?

Let's brainstorm. Jews should not be the ones intimidated.

Here are some suggestions:

  • On Shavuot, religious Jewish men should come out en  masse walking in the streets wearing their Tefillin.
  •  JDL types, Veteran IDF soldiers identifying with Kach or the IDF and Jewish Self Defense should have a noticeable presence
  • Everyone is encouraged to wear open expression of Jewish Israeli pride like a flag of Israel (Magen David), a flag of Judea and Samaria (Lion), a flag of Har HaBayit (Beit HaMildash), Return to Gush Katif, Tzahal paraphernalia...
  •  Young and old, can be educated and armed as best as possible and with knowledge on how to best respond given the circumstances in case they feel threatened.  This is especially relevant to anyone walking on the streets late on Shavuot night!
Perhaps there can be Rabbinic permission to carry cell phones if there is any reason to believe the streets might not be safe?  

I hope no Rav or political Askan suggests stay home for your protection!  Jews should come out en masse with Jewish Pride as usual this coming Shavuot night. We need to work with law enforcement but be prepared to do what is necessary to protect our community. Under Mamdani there is good reason not to rely on the NYC Police. Their hands might be tied and fail to deter intimidation and provocation by the Free Palestine protesters. They will probably try to keep us safe by discouraging any open display of Support for Israel.  They will say it's provoking and therefore dangerous.

Our enemies need to be fearful of walking around freely chanting Jew hatred and intimidation. 

Jews need to feel secure walking freely going to and from Synagogues.

When I was in Israel in November, I knew we were surrounded on all sides by evil but I felt safe because Chayalim and civilians with weapons were all over the place.

This post is in Hebrew. Deterrence is key! We need to show strength so that our enemies don't dare to commit atrocities like that which happened on October7. We can learn from Torah how to respond from the story of Dina when she was violated by Shchem.

To get strength of spirit and connection to Eretz Yisroel and Beit HaMikdash please watch Yishai Fleisher on Yom Yerushalayim reporting from the Kotel.
