Draft translation with the help of Google translate follows

איילת שקד שלום. שמי מיכאל פואה.
בשנה האחרונה רעייתי ואני מלווים את אוריין בן אוליאל במאבקה הכל כך צודק לשחרורו של ב עלה, עמירם, שנאשם בהצתה בדומא על סמך הודאות שווא שהוצאו ממנו בעינויים, עינויים שלמרבה הצער את כשרת המשפטים בחרת להתעלם מהם, או כמו שאת אומרת בימים האחרונים – בררת שהכל נעשה "על פי החוק".

שלא כפי שמצופה ממנהיגה המבקשת את אמון הציבור, בחרת לדחות בנונשלנטיות את הביקורת שהוטחה בך באחרונה על תפקודך המחפיר סביב פרשת העינויים וטענת ש"מדובר בקמפיין של עוצמה יהודית". כך בחוגי בית בהם העניין עלה וכך בראיון בסופ"ש האחרון במקור ראשון.
ניסית לצבוע את המאבק להפרכת עלילת דומא בצבע פוליטי למרות שידעת שזה שקר. כבר מס' שנים שאיני פעיל פוליטי, ומעולם לא הייתי פעיל במפלגת עוצמה.

*הניסיון להטות את הסיפור לכיוון הפוליטי הוא לא נכון ולא הגון. אני מבקש ממך להביט היום בעיניה הדומעות של אוריין. עיניים של אישה צעירה שנותרה לגדל לבדה את ילדתה הקטנה. עיניים שרואות את הבעל האהוב בביקור חפוז פעם בשבוע מאחורי מחיצות זכוכית. הביטי בעיניה של אוריין האם המאבק שלה הוא מאבק פוליטי??*

מנהיגותך נבחנת לא רק בדיבורים וסרטונים ויראליים אלא גם בלקיחת אחריות על פשעים שנעשו תחת אחריותך. מצער לראות שבארבע השנים שחלפו מאז פרשת העינויים לא השכלת לעשות את המובן מאליו ולהתנצל על החרפה. להתנצל ולפעול לשחרורו של עמירם. עצוב, אך לעולם לא מאוחר. שערי תשובה לא ננעלו וגם היום את יכולה לשים את הפוליטיקה הקטנה בצד ופשוט לקחת אחריות.

כן, ערב הבחירות וערב ראש השנה אנחנו מצפים לשמוע בקול צלול וברור שהודאה תחת עינויים לא יכולה להיות קבילה בבית משפט. שאת מתנצלת שנתת לדבר הלא מוסרי הזה לקרות.

*להיות אנושית ומוסרית זו מנהיגות אמיתית.*


*#ישוחרר עמירם*

Ayelet Shaked Shalom.  My name is Michael Puah.

 In the past year my wife and I have been accompanying Orian Ben Oliel in a just battle for the release of her husband, Amiram, who was charged with arson in the Duma on the basis of false confessions issued in torture, torture that unfortunately you as the Minister of Justice has chosen to ignore, or as you said in recent days - that you clarified that everything  was conducted  "according to the law."

(This response) is not one of a leader who is expected to earn public confidence, as you have chosen to nonchalantly reject the recent criticism of your disgraceful role in the torture affair, claiming that "this is a campaign of the political party Otzma Yehudit".

This (claim) was the case when you met in a house meeting 
where the matter arose, and also in an interview last weekend in Makor Rishon..

 You tried to paint the fight to refute a false narrative of the Duma arson as political even though you knew that wasn't the case.  I have been a non-political activist for several years and have never been an activist for Otzma Yehudit party.


 * The attempt to divert the story towards the political direction is incorrect and not fair.  I ask you to look into Orian's teary eyes today.  The eyes of a young woman left to raise her little girl alone.  Eyes seeing her beloved husband on a rushed visit once a week behind glass partitions.  Look into Orien's eyes Is her struggle a political struggle ?? *


 Your leadership is examined not only from speeches that go viral and videos but also examined from how you are taking responsibility for crimes committed under your watch. 
It is unfortunate to see that in the four years since the torture affair of the Duma suspects, you have not intellectually admitted
the obvious nor apologized for the disgrace. 

Apologize and act for Amiram's release.  Sad, but it's never too late.  The Gates of Repentance are not locked and even today you can put the petty politics aside and just take responsibility.


 Yes, on election night and the eve of Rosh Hashanah we expect to hear in a clear and clear voice that confession under torture cannot be admissible in court and  your apology for letting this unethical thing happen.


 * Being human and moral is true leadership

“All other refugees worldwide are handled
by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees,
which resettles tens of thousands of
refugees in third countries every year.

But Palestinian refugees aren’t allowed
to apply to UNHCR; they are handled
by the U.N. Relief and Works Agency,
an agency created exclusively for them.

And UNRWA hasn’t resettled a single
refugee in its 70 years of existence.

The only option it offers the refugees
and their descendants is eternal limbo:
awaiting a return to Israel
that will never happen.”

“Under the Trump administration,
the United States argued that UNRWA
[United Nations Relief and Works Agency
for Palestine Refugees] has perpetuated,
rather than helped end, the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict, by extending
refugee status to: children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren
of those who fled Israel during the
establishment of the Jewish state in 1948.”

“Much of that animus [against Israel] stems from the fact that many Liberals have never forgiven the Israeli people for embracing the Israeli Right-wing coalition that Netanyahu now heads, while the Labor Zionist movement that Ben-Gurion once led became marginalized.”

“For several years, sharp criticism
of the Palestinians and their leaders
has been commonplace in the Egyptian press.

Now, writes, Khaled Abu Toameh, similar
attitudes can be found in Saudi Arabia
and other Arab countries as an increasing
segment of their populations sees
Palestinians as ungrateful for the
financial and diplomatic support they
have received from their Arab brethren.”

In many Muslim countries], corrupt rulers
play an intricate game to stay in power.

Their signature move is the promise
to “free” the Holy Land — that is,
to eliminate the Jewish state.

There is very little freedom of expression in Muslim-majority countries, and state-owned media churn out anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda daily — as do even media groups that style themselves as critical of Muslim autocracies, such as Al Jazeera and Al-Manar.

from the Jewish Virtual Library:

“Leading up to Israel's independence
in [year] 1948, it was common for the
international press to label Jews,
not Arabs, living in the [British]
mandate as Palestinians.

It was not until years after Israeli
independence that the Arabs living
in the West Bank and Gaza Strip
were called Palestinians.”

Professor A.J. Caschetta said:

“[Rashid] Khalidi [of the Center for
Palestine Studies] inadvertently admits
that the Palestinian economy consists
almost exclusively of handouts from
the world, especially the United States
and Israel. Cash installments to the P.A.
[Palestinian Authority] are used to pay
everyone from terrorists to counter-terrorists.

Israel collects taxes for the Palestinians
and supplies most of their electricity
and water. Many of the real job opportunities
for Palestinians who reside in Judea
and Samaria, [the so-called “West Bank,”]
are provided by Israeli companies.”
