I was listening to your report tonight about the Terror attack in Tel Aviv and how PM Netanyahu praised the guard who neutralized the attacker after the terrorist shot the security guard and said we wont let such attacks go unaddressed in Israel.
Then you talked about an episode in the Shomron where you either intentionally or unintentionally distorted the facts. You started the segment by stating that Jews and Arabs were throwing rocks at each other. Here are the facts from those at the scene. Close to Shabbos, late Friday afternoon a lone shepherd by the name of Yechiel Indor was shepherding his sheep near Maoz Zion. He came under attack by a mob of Arabs. Yechiel called for help and security. He had a license to carry a gun. His friends came. Apparently the Jews were greatly outnumbered. He fired in the air. A big rock hit Yechiel in the head and he was seriously injured. Pictures show how there was a crack in his skull. Pretty gorey. Yechiel managed to shoot back in self defense and an Arab was killed. Yechiel did not start the provocation. He was seriously injured and required brain surgery. The Arabs were not initially investigated. So the more accurate news item is that yesterdays latest arrestees was a shepherd who was injured seriously and had to undergo brain surgery after his head was cracked open from a lynching Arab Mob and seems to have fired back in self defense and his friend Elisha ben Rena who brought him to Shaarei Tzedek and turned in the gun to the Mishtara, then also got arrested as a suspect for killing an Arab.
Shame on the Mishtara and Shame on JBS TV for reporting in a way that slanders the Jewish Settlers with a slant pushing a narrative of Jewish Terror. Jewish Character assassination in the media was adding insult to injury following this attack on Jewish Settlers. Creating an equivalency between Arabs who glorify Jihad and shout "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free" vs Jewish shepherds is wrong.
Do Jihadist Arabs really deserve a positive slant, or even equal moral equivalency, over the Jewish Settlers who defend themselves against Arab aggression?
Is the Blood of a Jewish Settler cheaper than the blood of a Jew from Tel Aviv?

A YOUNG JEW IS BEING TORTURED IN SOLITARY FOR A CRIME HE DID NOT COMMIT!

The Hebrew petition for the general pubic
https://www.atzuma.co.il/tslilkalish123456
Lichvod HaRabbonim:
Please take concrete action for Pidyon Shvuyim for an innocent man, Amiram ben Nurit נ"י languishing in prison.
We are reaching out to you, on behalf of Amiram ben Uliel נ"י as were hundreds of Rabbonim and public figures in EY.
Over 230 Rabbonin and public figures, mostly in Eretz Yisroel, have already signed a petition in Hebrew asking that Amiram ben Nurit ben Uliel be transferred to the Prison's Torah Wing, the Agaf Torani. This petition and the signatures will iyh be released shortly in Elul. It is not too late to add your name.

REQUEST TO TRANSFER AMIRAM BEN ULIEL from SOLITARY CONFINEMENT to the PRISON's TORAH WING
Amiram Ben Uliel has been in solitary confinement since his imprisonment seven and a half years ago. He is being held in the harshest conditions of any prisoner in Israel. This, in spite of the fact that the only evidence against him was elicited under extreme torture, with absolutely no forensic evidence ever found to link him to the crime. In contrast, Arab terrorists with blood on their hands, such as Ahmad Awad who murdered five members of the Fogel family, are being held in open cells, free to interact with fellow prisoners and enjoying many perks.
This past Passover, Amiram's request to be celebrate the holiday in the religious wing of the prison was granted. This was the first time in seven years he was permitted to leave his solitary cell and interact with fellow Jews.
But this good fortune was short-lived. On Shavuot, the Shin Bet rejected his request to spend the holiday in the Torah wing. Once again, he was forced to celebrate the holiday alone, in solitary darkness.
We, the undersigned, request that Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, demand that the head of the Shin Bet transfer Amiram from solitary confinement and cease the inhumane treatment to which he is being subjected. This is not the Soviet Union or Iran!!
Furthermore, we demand that Amiram ben Uliel be permitted to meet with his wife and daughter without intervening bars or a glass partition; that he be permitted to pray in a minyan; and that he be granted the most basic human rights which are the hallmark of a democracy.
It is outrageous to see terrorists with blood on their hands celebrating in Israel's prison facilities and receiving preferential treatment, while Amiram is being held in a state of continuous emotional torture, with no evidence linking him to the crime he is accused of except a forced confession.
Why are the non-Jewish prisoners permitted to fulfill their religious obligations while this Jewish prisoner, whose guilt is highly questionable, denied his most basic religious and human rights?
We demand an end to this discrimination and inhumane cruelty.
Transfer Amiram immediately to the Torah wing!!!!

Jewish Law and Secular Law often see eye to eye and in secular law and in Jewish Law and in most democratic civilized societies, self incrimination is not permissable as evidence.
There are political undertones in this terrible miscarriage of Justice.
This Mitzvah of Pidyon Shvuyim, especially when there is a blood libel of Jews against our own cries out to the heavens. Inaction was a cause of the destruction of the Temple.
This is reminiscent of Sinat Chinom between Yosef and his brothers. It is a reincarnation of Sinat Chinom in our day against our very own righteous Jewish brothers and sisters living in the heart of the Shomron in the Nachala of Yosef and Binyamin. We must fear the consequences of our inaction if Amiram continues to languish, abandoned in jail in Solitary confinement and discriminatory administrative detention of hilltop youth is modus operandi of Defense Minister Gallant.
"אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מְפַחֵד תָּמִיד וּמַקְשֶׁה לִבּוֹ יִפּוֹל בְּרָעָה" ( משלי כ"ח, פסוק י"ד)
אמר רבי יוחנן: ענוותנותו של רבי זכריה בן אבקולס החריבה את ביתנו ושרפה את היכלנו והגליתנו מארצנו."
We are pleading with the Rabbonim to join in these efforts, to do independent research, to act with personal Hishtadlus and raise awareness and demand Truth and Justice. This surely will have a tremendous impact up in the Heavens and arouse Rachmei Shamayim.
This miscarriage of Justice against Amiram in particular reflects poorly on the Israeli Supreme Court who gave a green light to sanction torture to extort confession. It is no surprise that the recent push for Judicial Reform has at its very core a deep yearning by Am Yisroel for Truth, Justice and Righteousness in the Israeli Court System.
The "Justice for Amiram" network of activists are also applying pressure in America... not only on the Israeli front.
Letters are being sent globally via the website of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission headed by Rep. Congressman Chris Smith, a friend of Israel, protesting the gross violations of human rights against Amiram ben Uliel who was placed unlawfully under Administrative Detention and denied basic rights to a lawyer held without charges or evidence of wrongdoing and then tortured until he confessed to a crime he never committed.

Steve Rodan, presenter of the Zoom said that in 1959, 1960 when the GOI wasn't funding Chinuch Atzmai for a decade, Rav Aharon Kotler approached Congress, specifically a Senator from Wisconsin who was involved in Foreign affairs. When the Finance Minister of Israel at the time, Levi Eshkol came to visit Washington DC, this Senator of Nevada questioned him about it. Apparently Levi Eshkol telegrammed the Prime Minister Ben Gurion and this made a impression and Chinuch Atzmai started to get funded.

Amiram is sentenced to 3 life sentences sitting in solitary 7.5 years, possibly under the worst conditions of any prisoner in Israel Jew or non Jew. The only incriminating evidence they have that he perpetrated the crime is his own confession following torture. No other forensic evidence. His confession and handwriting isn't even consistent with facts on the ground.

Jewish terror was blamed within hours with no investigation to speak of. Condemnation of Hilltop youth, as a fringe group of youth belonging to a terrorist organization seemed to be a given as per the say so of the Jewish Division of Terror of Shabak.
No investigation into infighting of Arab clans that torched each other homes on a regular basis came into the deliberation or addressed nor considered.

Arutz 7: No Longer Sheep to the Slaughter By Shmuel (Zangi) Medad CEO Honnenu
Our Dear Brothers in the Government: You are partners of the Shin Bet and Yoav Galant in the rubber stamping of issuing administrative arrest warrants without trial.
28 in Tammuz 17.07.23, 16:36
The government complains about selective enforcement. And she is right, she even asks us for data on this, and receives it.
But don't believe her,
טֹל קוֹרָה מִבֵּין עֵינֶיךָ
An answer to a person who reproves others, while he himself sins even more than everyone else.)
Source of this expression:
"וא"ר יוחנן, מאי דכתיב: ויהי בימי שפוט השופטים? דור ששופט את שופטיו, אומר לו: טול קיסם מבין שיניך אומר לו: טול קורה מבין עיניך" (בבלי, מסכת בבא בתרא – דף טו, עמוד ב)
It is clear that there is selective enforcement and who are like us that see and experience it? Every day! For many years now! But the truth is that Bibi and the members of this government are the worst offenders. But why?
Because they are A.F.R.A.I.D. That is why they are tough and violent . But only towards those who actually voted for them.
To criminal families who murder? - no.
A criminal from a criminal family who everyone is aware that he murders his competitor- will not be administratively arrested and detained. Addressing the evil perpetrators, those under protection- no. Violent Druze in the Golan Heights- no - not anarchists of the resistance - no. These are all power groups. And they scare Bibi and his ministers very much.
Administrative arrests are violent arrests. Administrative arrests are emergency detention orders used from the days of the British Mandate, and there is no need for a trial.
Such orders have been issued against those who voted for this government.
They assume that on election day everything will be forgotten.
True the hilltop youth are not weak. They are strong and firm facing the enemy. They are hidden soldiers without uniforms and without weapons.
But they are not ready or willing to be sheep to the slaughter.
So when their brothers come to them and violently stick a knife in their backs just because they are not ready to be sheep for the slaughter - they simply cannot believe their eyes. Terrorism kills their friends and all of us, and raises its head now more than ever.
Our dear brothers in the National government - you are complicit in this. Completely. You are partners of the Shin Bet and Yoav Galant, the rubber stamp of the Shin Bet in issuing administrative arrest warrants, without a trial. The most anti-democratic practice that can exist.
Your hands are shedding this blood. Stop it immediately.

Meir Ettinger: In the end you will repent .מאיר אטינגר September 10, 2015

Hebrew version:
מאיר אטינגר: משתוקק לכינון מלכות ישראל
העצור המנהלי מאיר אטינגר מעביר מסרים מתוך בית הכלא. "האירוע בדומא שימש רק כתירוץ לדיקטטורה של הדמוקרטיה"

Meir Ettinger's words to the Court: In the end you will repent
BY MEIR ETTINGER ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2015
The following are the words of Meir Ettinger said during his hearing on Sep. 10th, 2015. This hearing was the third and final hearing that the court will hear before officially approving his administrative detention. It is important to note that receiving the approval of the court is a mere formality for administrative detention and does not involve an actual trial.
"I would like to speak before the court and have my words recorded in the minutes. At the same time, I reiterate that this is not because I recognize the authority of this court. I don't recognize the validity of laws that are against the Torah and I see no reason to defend myself against accusations based on false laws that were created by man today and will be changed by him tomorrow.
Rather, because of our sins, instead of having a court based on the holy Torah, the word of G-d, we have been taken captive by false courts. These captors are the prosecution, the media, and the false courts of today that have waged war against the land of Israel, the Torah of Israel, and those who fear the G-d of Israel. Their goal is to foster the growth of a foreign culture in our midst to replace the way of the Torah and service to G-d in the land of Israel.
It is therefore a Chazakah [predetermined]what this court will decide in this hearing. One way or another, the results are known in advance and I therefore have no desire to play a part in this game. It is merely a pathetic attempt by the government to pretend that their decision is based on justice and democracy.
Nonetheless, this hearing provides me the right to speak and I will exercise the right to tell you what bothers you so much, what you are fighting, and what was the reason for my arrest.
I cannot discuss in this short time all of the ridiculous media stories. According to the media, I am somehow the number one target of the Shabak.
It should be noted that the targets of the Shabak are not established in order to preserve public safety or ensure calm, but instead are based on a political agenda and focus on protecting the culture of 'equality' that they force down the throats of the public.
Therefore, instead of discussing 'public safety,' I will explain my activism and why my actions are so upsetting to the confused establishment.
In their accusations they used the phrase, "changing the regime." So what does that really mean? What exactly is this mysterious 'group,' which I supposedly lead, doing to further that goal? The truth is that we are dealing with very basic statements that were made freely available to all. Yes, I admit it- I, like many other Jews, have dreams, hopes and desires of establishing the Kingdom of Israel. The 'group' I am a part of, was founded during the exodus from Egypt and the receiving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. There the Jewish people were chosen to be a nation of priests and a holy people in the land of Israel.
So what is this 'Kingdom of Israel'? For 2000 years in exile, Jews around the world said in their prayers "Let me witness the return to Zion" and concluded with the words, "blessed is He who restores His glory to Zion." These Jews did not merely want to return to the land of Israel to build fields and buildings. They wanted more. They wanted to restore G-d's presence in the land by creating a state that would spread the name of G-d throughout the world.
In the current 'Jewish' state, there is complete democratic freedom for all sorts of crazy ideas, except for Judaism alone which is declared illegal. In Israel today, the Torah's solution to security problems is racist, the Torah's views on international relations are incitement, and anyone who supports the Torah's opinion over the laws of the state is an anarchist. Those who struggle with love for the land of Israel are arrested and their homes are destroyed.
In the State of Israel today we have leaders who do not understand the Torah and no one dares explain to them what a true Jewish state looks like, why the Jewish people to the land of Israel, and what right the Jewish people have to the land. Not only are we victims of this unfortunate situation, but you are too- you, the judge, and the prosecutor. All of us are captives of this reality. Each of us has a G-dly soul that wants to live a Jewish life and we all feel alone in our opposition to the state.
Administrative detention orders were issued against me and other Jews not because of a concern for the good of the public as you [the government]have claimed. It is actually you who place no value on Jewish blood and thereby harm the public. You released terrorist murderers and removed checkpoints, both of which have placed many Jews in danger. One could hardly accuse you of caring for other Jews.
We all know that the incident in Duma is merely being used as an excuse for dictatorial actions by a supposed democratic government. Fortunately for you, the public is so accustomed to your lies that they don't bother refuting them.
Not for nothing did you gather all of the media to inform them before carrying out the orders. In truth the administrative detention orders are not meant to silence me, but to silence yourselves, to silence the Jewish voice emanating from your heart.
Your hysterical actions and discrimination against Jews in enforcing the law, your shocking neglect for the values of democracy when dealing with Jews who love the land of Israel, appears strange to many people. However it is not strange to anyone who recognizes that these actions are done in order to silence your inner, yearning Jewish voice. This is part of your general schizophrenia. It is obvious that these actions will backfire and have the opposite result. You will not manage to silence the voice inside you, anymore than you could expel your Jewish soul from your body. In the end, even you will repent for your actions and your Jewish soul will take over to help bring the redemption."
