Save Netiv HaAvot Houses From Being Destroyed Tomorrow

Call or write to the Prime Minister. Phone numbers and a corrected link to message the Prime Minister's Office via their website are below.

Everything has to do with how much pressure is placed on the PMO - Prime Minister's Office TODAY, from people around the country and around the world.
 
Bombard Bibi's office with a simple request: Ignore the Bagatz. It does not make sense to destroy a community because of a 15 meter housing infraction.
 
If 1,000 people call the PMO with this message, in an assertive yet not abusive way, those calls might affect policy.

***** CONTACT THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE NOW *****

History Being Made in Singapore

Tuesday, June 12 at 9 am (or tonight 9 pm NYC time), President Donald J. Trump will meet in Singapore in an historic face to face meeting with North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-Un.

President Trump intends to hold firm on his demand that North Korea commit to full denuclearization. There are also serious human rights issues that must come into the conversation. The agenda is a complicated and sensitive one whose outcome holds great importance for America, Israel, and the world. AFSI is hoping for a successful and productive meeting between the two leaders.
Industrial Zone Project
Approved for
Judea and Samaria

Final approval was received on a project to build the largest industrial zone in Judea and Samaria, which will cover an area of approximately 2 million square meters.

Yossi Dagan, Samaria Regional Council head said that "this is an historic move that is expected to change the face of …Samaria."

Work on the ground is expected to begin by the end of the year. More HERE.
Attempted Terror Attack
Thwarted in Samaria

Early yesterday morning, IDF forces identified a vehicle rushing towards them, during an operation in the Nur Shams refugee camp in northern Samaria.
With the understanding that this was an attempted terrorist attack, the IDF fired at the vehicle ultimately stopping the car.

There were no casualties.

Report Card for Area C:
Regavim Exposes the Truth Again

In the past three years, nearly $25 million was contributed by the European Union for the express purpose of facilitating Arab control over Area C

Yesterday, Regavim presented undisputable data to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in a hearing convened by the Subcommittee on Judea and Samaria.

Said Yishai Hemo, field coordinator for Judea and Samaria at Regavim: "In light of the scope of the P.A.'s activities and the massive funding that enables this program, the Civil Administration must treat agricultural land seizure as a phenomenon of strategic importance, and not merely as a localized violation of law."
Confronting Enemies from Within
Minimizing the damage to Israel that is caused by embracing anti-Semitic Jews and their hate messages is the challenge we must stand up to and confront.

AFSI Chicago Co-Chairmen, Cheryl Lewin and Brian Pikelny, represented AFSI at the Greater Chicago Jewish Festival yesterday and reported that J Street and If Not Now were given tables at the festival. Both organizations are well known for their anti-Israel rhetoric.

Caroline Glick's Opinion piece in the Jerusalem Post covers this topic and is today's must read.

Alarming Trend

AFSI recently reported on The Beacon School in NYC and how it asked students to pray for those we know are Hamas operatives.

Brooklyn's Midwood High School students were recently used as instruments to advocate terrorism when they were targeted for the distribution of Hamas propaganda claiming to pay tribute to the "Palestinian victims of violence in Gaza."

Thank you to AFSI Board member and JCCWatch Founder Richard Allen for sending us this must know story.
Rudy Giuliani States the Facts

Gaza Kite Terror Causes Nearly 20 Fires in Israel

Firebomb-carrying kites from Gaza caused at least seventeen fires on Saturday alone. Locations included Kibbutz Nir Am, Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha, and Sderot's train station. The Israeli government has shown extraordinary restraint in confronting the kite makers with the argument that the fires are not endangering lives. AFSI takes issue with that position. Lives might definitely be endangered. Firefighters are in danger while fighting the fires. Fields and forests are being destroyed by the fires, costing Israeli farmers and Israel huge amounts of money. A fire at the Sderot train station caused immeasurable damage . This is unacceptable. AFSI maintains that the fire terrorism is as dangerous as any other form of terrorism and must be stopped. The IDF can do it. This battle must be won!!

Demonstration of Kfar Duma
Interrogation Torture Methods

This article in Honenu is clearly pro Elisha Odess. It demonstrates that the entire Duma situation was a trap to ensnare the hilltop youth. So disgraceful.

When the Duma case first broke, AFSI took the position that the boys should be considered innocent until proven guilty. That is the American way. The continued incarceration of Israeli youngsters under the old law of "administrative detention" must come to an end. Put the boys on trial, present the evidence against them, allow the defense attorneys to present their evidence, and let justice prevail.

Eisenkot excludes Brig. Gen. Ofer Winter from round of appointments

We need a G-d fearing Jew leading the troops.

Leaving G-d out of the picture is asking for trouble big time. לא בכוחי ועוצם ידי... 

Eisenkot excludes Brig. Gen. Ofer Winter from round of appointments
IDF chief Gadi Eisenkot chooses once again pass over Brig. Gen. Ofer Winter, a darling of the right-wing after Operation Protective Edge; IDF officials say Eisenkot seeks to 'promote young elite unit officers to lead the IDF in the next war.'

IDF announces new promotions, with one officer notably left out: Ofer Winter

*בשם עם ישראל אני מוחה על רצח נער*

בשם עם ישראל, עם מוסרי וישר, אני מוחה על רצח איטי של נער שנמצא עצור שנתיים מגיל 16-15 על לא עוול בכפו. הרב שלמה אבינר מאשים את השב"כ ברצח נפשו של הנער החשוד בפרשת דומא. 

בשם עם ישראל, עם מוסרי וישר, אני מוחה על רצח איטי של נער שנמצא עצור שנתיים מגיל 16-15 על לא עוול בכפו.

בשם עם ישראל אני מוחה על כך שנער זה סובל שנתיים ,כאשר עד כה לא נמצא שום דבר שקושר אותו לרצח בדומא – כי מרצח עצמו, כולם מסכימים שהוא חף מפשע, אך רוצים שיודה בקשר לרצח.

אני מוחה על כך שסחטו ממנו הודאות תחת עינויים, כי כידוע אין שום ערך להודאתו של אדם, כיון שאין אדם משים עצמו רשע, קל וחומר אם הושגה בעינויים, ובאיום על עינויים נוספים. וכן הוא גם על פי חוק שאי אפשר להפליל על פי הודאה, והפרקליטות עצמה הודתה שחלק מן ההודאות אינן קבילות.

סדרת עינויים 

אני מוחה בשם עם ישראל על כך שא', בחור עדין נפש וטהור סובל עינויים קשים כדי להכריחו להודות ואלו הן:

– כיסוי עיניים כדי שיקבל סטירות בה
כפיפת גב אחורנית ,מה שגורם לכאבי תופת והגוף נשאר כאוב. 

– דיבורים לא צנועים ומגעילים, ניבול פה, תיאורים גסים.

– השפלות וקללות.

– צמצום שעות שינה כדי להביא לעייפות קיצונית.

– חקירות שעות רצופות (7) בשעות הקטנות של הלילה.

– איומים שאם לא יודה שוב יענו אותו.

– דחיפת אצבעות בסנטר כדי שירים ראשו.

– מכת אגרופים בשוקיים.

– דחיפת אצבעות בחזה.

– כיפוף ידיים לאחור.

– תא מעצר עם אבק ושיעול מאלרגיה.

אני מוחה – אני מאשים 

אני מוחה על סתימת פיות נגד מי שמוחה בעדו, בטענה דמגוגית שהמוחה תומך ברצח ערבים. ייאמר ברורות: זה חמור לפגוע בערבי חוף מפשע, אך לא פחות מזה זה חמור לפגוע בנער יהודי חף מפשע.

בשם עמנו, אני מוחה על הסתרת כל המידע הנ"ל, שאפשר למצוא בדו"חות של בית המשפט. 

בשם עם ישראל, אני מוחה שמשתמשים ללא הבחנה בטיעון "תשתית טרור מתקתקת" כדי לעצור אדם חף מפשע במשך שנתיים, לרצוח אותו על אש קטנה, ולגרום לו פוסט טרואמה PTSD. 

כבר זמן רב החלקים הנאורים של המין האנושי הבינו שיש לשחרר ממעצר בלתי חוקי, הביאס קורפוס, Habeas Corpus. קל וחומר, אנו, עם ד'.

בשם כל ישראל, אני מוחה, אני מאשים.

Rabbi Shlomo Aviner:
* On behalf of the people of Israel I protest the murder of a youth *

On behalf of the people of Israel, a moral and honest people, I protest the slow murder of a boy who has been detained for two years from the age of 16 to 15 for no fault of his own. Rabbi Shlomo Aviner accuses the GSS of murdering the boy suspected of the Duma affair.

On behalf of the people of Israel, a moral and honest people, I protest the slow murder of a boy who has been detained for two years from the age of 16 to 15 for no fault of his own.

In the name of the people of Israel I protest that this boy has been suffering for two years, when so far nothing has been found linking him to the murder of Duma - because he is murdering himself, everyone agrees that he is innocent, but wants to confess to murder.

I protest that he was extorted from confessions under torture, since, as is well known, there is no value in accepting such confessions, since no one pretends to be evil, let alone by torture and the threat of further torture. And also according to a law that can not incriminate by confession, and the State Attorney's Office admitted that some of the admissions were inadmissible.

Torture series

I protest in the name of the people of Israel that A., a gentle and pure soul, suffers severe torture in order to force him to confess. These are:

- Eye cover to get slaps in it
Reverse back bending, which causes severe pain and the body remains sore.

- Unnatural and disgusting words, obscenities, crude descriptions.

- Humiliation and curses.

- Reduced hours of sleep to bring extreme fatigue.

- Investigations of consecutive hours (7) in the wee hours of the night.

- Threats that if he does not confess again he will be tortured.

- pushing his fingers in his chin to raise his head.

Punches in the calves.

Push your fingers in your chest.

Bend your hands backwards.

- A cell with a dust and cough from allergy.

I protest - I accuse

I protest against silencing those who protest against him, on the demagogic grounds that the protesters supports such murder of Arabs. It should be said clearly: It is serious to harm innocent Arabs, but no less serious is to harm innocent Jewish youth.

In the name of our people, I protest the concealment of all the above information, which can be found in the court's reports.

On behalf of the Jewish people, I protest that indiscriminate use of the "ticking terror infrastructure" is used to arrest an innocent person for two years, murder him on a low flame, and cause him post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The enlightened parts of the human race have long understood that they should be released from illegal detention, Habeas Corpus. All the more so, the Nation of G-d.

In the name of all Israel, I protest, I accuse.

HaRav Drukman on Duma Investigation Who Gives Backing to such Cruelty? הרב דרוקמן: "מי נותן גיבוי לאכזריות כזו?!" - ערוץ 7

bs"d

https://www.inn.co.il/News/News.aspx/375311
"Who gives backing to such cruelty ?!"

Head of Bnei Akiva yeshivas and one of the leaders of religious Zionism, relates to the torture that was applied to the detainees in the Duma affair: "I am shocked, hurt and ashamed."... (Used Google to  help translate)

Rabbi Haim Druckman, head of the Bnei Akiva yeshivas and one of the leaders of religious Zionism, came out today (Monday) with the first and most severe statement regarding GSS interrogations of the detainees in the Duma affair.




"I am shocked and hurt and ashamed of the torture that the Shin Bet used in interrogations of the youths, including minors," says the Rabbi. "Confessions as a result of such interrogations are not even worth a penny. Who gives backing to such cruelty ?! "
Rabbi Druckman gave a video interview (see link on a7) to the chairman of the organization, Honi Shmuel (Zengi) Meidad, and asked that the video be widely heard, after thinking about the subject for a long time. 
It should be recalled that recently it was revealed that the Central District Attorney's Office informed the court that it was waiving the confessions of the defendants in interrogations in which "special means" were used, referring to torture.
Dozens of city Rabbis, Yeshiva Rabbis and Yeshiva Heads to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, demanded that the legal process in the Duma case be stopped and that a commission of inquiry be established.
Attorney Zion Amir, who represented the minor in the case, said during the trial that he hopes the facts and testimonies given by Shin Bet agents will be revealed: "The public will be shocked by how deeply an investigation was conducted against a young minor who is not charged with murder, but with being connected with the murder but not the murder itself. Somehow, an investigation was conducted, which consisted entirely of threats and the use of violent means in all forms and in all kinds of ways. This is shocking to the mind, it is impossible to accept an investigation conducted in such a manner in a democratic society. I very much hope that the court will eventually say its words on these essential issues. "

:הרב חיים דרוקמן, ראש ישיבות בני עקיבא ומראשי הציונות הדתית יוצא היום (שני) בהתבטאות ראשונה וחריפה בעניין חקירות השב"כ את העצורים בפרשת דומא.

"אני מזועזע, וכואב, ומתבייש מהעינויים שהשב"כ השתמש בחקירותיו את הנערים, כולל קטינים", אומר הרב. "הודאות כתוצאה מחקירות כאלה אינן שוות אפילו כקליפת השום. מי נותן גיבוי לאכזריות כזאת?!".

הרב דרוקמן העביר את הסרטון ליו"ר ארגון חוננו שמואל (זנגי) מידד, וביקש שהסרטון יקבל תהודה רחבה, לאחר שזמן רב חשב על הנושא.

נזכיר כי לאחרונה נחשף כי פרקליטות מחוז מרכז, הודיעה לביהמ"ש כי היא מוותרת על הודאות הנאשמים שנגבו בחקירות בהן הופעלו "אמצעים מיוחדים", כאשר הכוונה לעינויים.

עשרות רבני ערים, רבני ישובים וראשי ישיבות לראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו ולשרת המשפטים איילת שקד בדרישה כי ההליך המשפטי בתיק דומא ייעצר וכי תוקם ועדת חקירה.

עו"ד ציון אמיר, שייצג את הקטין בתיק מסר בזמן משפט הזוטא כי הוא מקווה שהעובדות והעדויות שנאמרו ע"י אנשי השב"כ ייחשפו: "הציבור אמור להזדעזע זעזוע עמוק מאוד כיצד התנהלה חקירה כלפיי קטין צעיר לימים, שלא מואשם ברצח, מואשם בקשר לכך אבל לא ברצח. באיזה אופן התנהלה חקירה שכל כולה איומים והפעלת אמצעים אלימים בכל מיני צורות ובכל מיני אופנים. הדבר הזה מזעזע את הנפש, אי אפשר להשלים עם חקירה שמתנהלת באופן כזה בחברה דמוקרטית, אני מאוד מקווה שביהמ"ש בסופו של יום יאמר את דברו בסוגיות המהותיות האלה".
