Dear Journalists, amv"sh
Will this be reported in your news? The Jewish Media needs to make a clear stand regarding the rights of the Jews in Judea and Samaria to self defense. Freedom of Self Defense and to bear arms is one of the Bill of Rights. Anti Israel Media takes it as a given that since Jews are the occupiers this is occupied territory and that Jews have no place being in these" occupied territories" aka Judea and Samaria so therefore, any aggression against them is justified and any acts of aggression on their part is criminal.
If we believers in Torah and supporters of our rights in Judea and Samaria are silent against the actions of the Police in this incident as well as previous incidents then Shtika KeHodaya Damia. Silence is equivalent to complicit agreement.
Please read Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover description of recent events in response to hikers who were attacked and who acted in self defense and were taken into prison and accused of intentional murder against the Arabs without any thorough investigation as per what happened. The Arabs on the other hand who attacked them first were not caught or prosecuted. Read a translation of Rav Medan's words regarding what happened as bad winds that blow from the triangle "Police-State Attorney's Office and Media."
This is not an isolated incident and when I visited Israel several years ago we met with the wives of Breslov Chasidim in the hills South of Hebron in Asael who were put in jail, under administrative detention and forced to raise large amounts of monies for their defense because they tried to protect their hilltop from Arab brush fires threatening their homes.
Also read about a group of Jews who were attacked by Arabs and the police favored Arabs.
Now read about Rav Lior's arrest warrant http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142196
This is all part of the same struggle. Are the Jews in Judea and Samaria entitled to self defense? This was the discussion in the Sefer written by Rav Shapiro. What is obviously an act of Self Defense is distorted iin the "mainstream" Media as incitement of violence against Arabs. The pro Arab media will take this one step further and will make it into a blood libel stating that Rabbis teach Jews that Arab blood is of no value to Jews and the blood of an Arab child is to be treated differently than the blood of a Jew. Nowhere is the mention of the fact that the Jews are forced to defend their lives and property.
In 2008 I blogged
All the News that is fit to Print about YESHA but not found in Jewish Press, Yated and Hamodia and not talked about in the Agudah Convention or the OU Convention
http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2008/12/all-news-that-is-fit-to-print-about.html which bemoans the fact that Jewish Media and religious Jewish organizations are not advocating and reporting the Yesha News in support for Judea and Samaria. We don't hear much about Mishmeret Yesha a Jewish Militia that is a first response team in Judea and Samaria even on Arutz7. It is not PC to talk about Jewish Self Defense especially in Judea and Samaria. Not that much has changed since I wrote this post in 2008 except the situation is becoming more and more dangerous for humanity and Jews all over the world, are not yet convinced of the importance of Judea and Samaria and her survival.
It is the only way that we can keep the Mitzvoth Teluyot Baaretz. When will we realize that Judea and Samaria is the key to bringing Peace and Prosperity to mankind as is promised in our H-ly Torah. It is the very key to the struggle against radical Islam and the War on Terror.
It is not by coincidence that the entire world is focused on Judea and Samaria and blames the evils on the world on her. Only by defending our Divine Inheritance will the world become a safer place.
Nadia Matar and Yehudit Katzover write:
Dear Friends,
Following last week's brutal arrests and acts of police violence
against us and other participants of the vigil calling for the release
of the hikers who protected the group of hikers from and Arab assault,
we sent a letter to Minister of Internal Affairs Yitzhak Aharonovitch
asking him to personally intervene and investigate what happened.
In addition, we are publishing here the translation into English of
Rabbi Medan's strong words at the vigil last week. Rabbi Medan is the
Rosh yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion in Gush Etzion. Rabbi Medan does
not mince his words and talks about the bad winds that blow from the
triangle "Police-State Attorney's Office and Media."
Following his words, please find details about our upcoming exciting
Friday morning tour in Hebron-
not to be missed!
With love for israel,
Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar

Rabbi Medan's Words at the Demonstration in front of the Court on
Wednesday, February 2, 2011 demanding the release of the four hikers
who had been arrested the Friday before while defending the group from
an Arab attack:
"Bad winds blow in the triangle Police, State Attorney's office and Media"
Bringing those arrested following the hike in Gush Etzion to the
Hebron police station, after being under arrest for five days, and
possibly tin order to keep them under arrest, attests to the very bad
winds that blow from the direction of the Hebron police, especially,
and of the Israel Police, in general.
The police did not see a body, and no one knows who died and what was
the cause of death. Those arrested had weapons, but it's doubtful
whether they fired, while the police in its statement to the media
immediately accused them of intentional murder, without checking
anything. None of the Arab rioters, who deliberately endangered the
lives of the hikers, was arrested. No one who has never seen heavy
rocks fired from slingshots from the top of a hill at hikers in an
inferior position, many of whom were elderly, can understand the
concrete meaning of such danger. Firing in the air in these
circumstances was a reasonable solution, while if the danger would
have continued (and perhaps it would have), even more than that would
have been needed.
But the police weren't interested in the Arab rioters, nor in the
danger to the Jews. It wasted no time in arresting whoever it could
from among the Jews, and without checking anything, it accused them in
the media of first-degree murder. In consequence, innocent people
spent five days in jail, and this was not enough for the police! This
wasn't the first time that the Hebron police automatically, and
without bothering to investigate, have exonerated the Arab rioters and
their Jewish supporters, while harassing settlers who work for their
livelihood and innocent hikers, and I know of many such instances.
These bad winds in the police come from the top. It's easier to accuse
the Jews in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. This doesn't require confronting
the violence of the Arabs and their Jewish supporters. This doesn't
require confronting the media, that is sympathetic to the violent
side, specifically. This is how an unholy alliance has been working
for some time between the State Attorney's Office, that hates the
Jewish settlers of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza for no reason, the press,
that fans the fires of contention as much as it can for the sake of
sensation, and the police, that wants an easy life for itself, without
confronting the strong and the violent, and without confronting the
State Attorney's Office and the media. This is the spirit of the
current Police Inspector-General and the minister above him.
It should be recalled that things were a bit different in the past. In
the time of Uzi Landau as Police Minister, the police acted mainly
against the Arab rioters. It worked hard, but it had not
inconsiderable successes in this. And this means that tomorrow this
could be different. The question is what will be the spirit at the
top. Today the police wants an easy life, and to accuse innocent
hikers of first-degree murder is more convenient for it.
Unfortunately, today I don't expect anything from the police. I came
here to call upon the young and energetic Knesset Members from the
Likud - Danny Danon, Tzipi Hotovely, Yariv Levin, and others among
those who are capable of putting some color back in the pale face of
Zionism, not to let this harassment pass silently, and to put the
police in its place.
