Kfar Duma Case – Articles
April 18, 2023
https://www.honenu.org/kfar-duma-case-articles
In this comprehensive link, Honenu has provided a significant number of links that provide overwhelming evidence that Amiram ben Uliel is completely innocent of the crime for which he is convicted of, namely the Duma arson of July 31, 2015. The perpetrators of this horrific crime are still at large, roaming the streets, free to repeat similar criminal acts that killed or murdered an Arab mother, father and their child.
No one disagrees that the perpetrators should be found and brought to justice. But holding the wrong person hostage is preventing that from happening.
Amiram is not the guilty one.
Within 5 hours of the crime, Jews were blamed in the media by top political VIPs in the highest level of the Israeli government before any investigation took place.
Jews, namely Settler youth, hundred(s) of them, were taken into custody and denied basic human rights. They were denied rights to an attorney, and underwent severe emotional and psychological trauma.
In spite of their investigation, of a few months, the Shabak division of Jewish Terror didn't manage to find any Jew that they could prosecute in spite of their "heroic" efforts and there was tremendous pressure to find the "Jewish" perpetrator.
Was there any investigation of the Arab clans that perpetrated similar acts of arson against one another including the Dwabshe family.
(Perhaps the perpetrator had to be "Jewish" since this investigation had more to do with politics than with truth and justice. Basically a frame-up).
In December 2015 they finally arrested Amiram who had since moved to Jerusalem after his home was destroyed several times over and was living in Adei Ad, in a trailer, with his wife and baby.
For seventeen days Amiram denied he had anything to do with this arson. Amiram's wife Orian, said he has an alibi and was with her that night and she went to do car pool while he was watching their baby but noone wanted to hear her out and hear her husband's alibi.
Shabak found their perpetrator scapegoat and now just needed to prove it.
A modern day blood libel.
Finally after receiving permission to torture Amiram aka "using extraordinary measures" Amiram confessed. But A real investigation for truth and justice never happened.
Amiram and his family maintain his innocence. They too would like the real killer found and apprehended. They never in any way educated and encouraged Amiram to murder innocent Arabs. After the Duma arson they never bragged about murdering innocent Arabs and from the get go, aside from his forced confession extracted following torture, maintained Amiram was innocent.
Amiram's forced tortured confession is the sole evidence the courts had on him. Self incrimination is inadmissible in a Jewish court of law and in modern day civilized democracies as well. There was no other additional incriminating evidence, let alone 2 witnesses required by Jewish law. In fact the opposite. Reports of an Arab witness at the scene of the crime, reported in Haaretz, immediately following the arson, a totally different version of what happened. There are no collaborating photographs nor videos of the crime. No forensic evidence that collaborated with Amiram's confession. In fact the opposite... The forensic evidence does not match his version, his "confession".
In addition, the methods by which he reenacted the crime, namely with his interrogator present, should have rendered such evidence inadmissable.
This miscarriage of justice is piercing the heavens.
Brutal physical and psychological torture prompted Amiram's forced and false confession. After countless delays, known in Jewish law as Inui Hadin, a trial was finally held where the court ruled that his forced confession "justified" 3 life sentences.
If the above miscarriage of justice wasn't enough, over the past seven years, Amiram is subjected to daily nonstop emotional trauma due to his total isolation from normal daily human social interactions with his wife, with his daughter and/or friends. For 7 years he is barely allowed to communicate with his wife except via a thick glass nor hold his infant daughter.
During Covid even that minimum was taken from him.
He has been subjected to total unjustified and cruel solitary confinement, which is unprecedented even for the most hardened of criminals ... which he is clearly not.
Amiram was at the time a young married man with a baby and is a devout Breslov Chosid whose teachings emphasize living a holy lifestyle and to refrain from gazing at anything improper that might distract and detract his service to G-d .
This profile and background and constitution does not match in any way a common sense macho profile of a radicalized Jewish criminal who would risk a suicidal attempt to venture 4 kilometers into an Arab village to perpetrate such a heinous hate crime against innocent Arabs.
ציון במשפט תפדה ושביה בצדקה
Zion will be redeemed with Justice and her returnees with Righteousness.
Shmuel Koenig's letter:
Dear Knesset Member,
We have to stop fighting each other and we should prevent a civil war.
We have to do what Hashem wants And unite behind Hashem.
As far as Judicial reform:
The Torah teaches that we cannot convict on the basis of confession, especially so if the confession was done under torture.
This applies to the case of Amiram Ben Uliel.
We should ask the Rabbonim to form a Sanhedrin and apply Jewish law and ideas to the Jewish state..
With best wishes for the Geula,
Shmuel Koenig
