It pays to  investigate whether lying under oath (as in giving testimony) in the Arab culture  is considered acceptable or even laudable when it is used as an effective tool to fight the "Israeli occupiers". 

If this is the case, all testimony from Arab sources should be under extra scrutiny unless it is determined that such testimony is indeed accurate and not a result of coercion, bribes or hate.  Their testimony should not be considered accurate by credible News Sources unless it thoroughly investigated. One  reasonably expects a reliable and fair investigation by the Israel Police before any story is sent to the press!

That raises another question.  Is the Police - Mishtara,  interested in enforcing Israeli Law or are they a political police force intent on enforcing and publicizing the political agenda? 

 It is quite clear that there was defamation of name and character of Orthodox Right Wing Nationalists.

It seems to me that the Mishtara - Police accepted false testimony of the Arabs that were proven lies.  Apparently before the police investigation was complete, the news went out to all the News Sources that told the news based on the lies that made the Right Wing camp look bad. (e.g. the Jews shot at the Arabs, Arabs were injured  etc.)

Even though the right wing security guard in this news item was released from prison after a Shabbat in jail  based on conclusive evidence of his innocence, the bad PR damage had been done!  (note all the links to the false press generated as a result of this police report)
