Dear IDSF Habitchonistim Israel Defense and Security Forum and readers:
Let's remember that this is a Machloket LeShem Shamayim and it is necessary to be transparent and be respectful and air our opinions. Many opinions come from ignorance and often there are conflicting opinions until a third perspective reconciles the differences. May Hashem open our eyes to see the Emet!
Please share with IDF Res. Brigadier General Winner.
Please listen to Rabbi Michael Weichbrod from Homebound to Eretz Yisroel, an insider, describe who these heroic teens are and why there might be justified incidences of violence, namely property damage on Arabs.
Israeli Settlers: Heroes or Terrorists
Rabbi Weichbrod's video post was in response to a post by Rabbi Avi Shafran in JNS.
Opinion
Violent settler youth betray Judaism
The actions of this small but misguided lot violate the grave prohibition against harming innocents.
Rabbi Avi Shafran
It relates to IDSF Habitchonistim recent interview as well:
IDF Brigadier General Res. Erez Winner
"It's only 70 Israeli Teens and they were arrested" IDF General sets the record straight. Interview with IDSF
My original comments before hearing Rabbi Weichbrod's perspective:
Why are "violent kids throwing random Molotov Cocktails" .... getting released when they finally see a judge?
On what basis were they arrested to begin with? No Habeas Corpus? Why are they held for months with no proof of wrongdoing?
Maybe, indeed, they were released because there was no evidence of any wrongdoing?
Who are these 70-100 teens????
You can't say because they are minors?
It is easy to put the blame on kids you can not name without any evidence, and say they are guilty, but bring no charges, based on the say so of Shabak and the Division of "Jewish Terror".
Please ask Elisha Yered and Elchonon Gruner who these kids are and please show real evidence and proof of wrongdoing. These kids seem to have come out of thin air.
Mitnachalim do not attack innocent Arabs. They are G-d fearing. They are shepherds and farmers who want to reSettle our Ancient Biblical Homeland. They are kids and lots of wholesome families.
However, Jews believe that when someone comes to Kill you, you need to preempt. Self Defense is a basic human right.
Please end feeding blood libels against innocent teens. This serves to reflect negatively on the Mitnachalim.
One can not help but conclude that is precisely why Shabak and the IDF are blaming 70-100 random teens. It serves to further a political agenda, and further the false narrative of "Settler Violence" be it teens, or shmeens.
Please address the 4 points raised by Avi Abelow below.
Thank you for your consideration.
We know from Parshat Duma in 2015 that a "fringe group" were condemned across the board, before any investigation to speak of, within days based on the say so of Shabak and Hebrew Graffiti found at the scene. Hilltop Maccabees were blood libeled, their basic civil rights taken from them, 2 were tortured until they confessed to the Duma arson. Minor A tried to commit suicide. They were the scapegoats of a political agenda that needed to have on record statistics of "Settler Violence" to satisfy hostile mainstream media to further the establishment of a Palestinian State.
Ten years later, now close to 11 years, Amiram Ben Uliel, an innocent man with a wife and a child is still sitting in jail. His incarceration for many years was isolation. He had worse conditions that the worst Arab Terrorist, based on his false confession following torture with no other evidence.
Why should the public trust Shabak and their version of accusations against random teens?
The People now demand Evidence of wrongdoing!
Don't frame innocent people for a political agenda.
Pursue Justice. Remember that there is a G-d who Judges us up in Heaven.
Why are you accepting the lies Fatah, albeit American Citizens are feeding Congress and why aren't you showing any real evidence of wrongdoing from these 70-100 teens?
Perhaps because there is no real evidence and such exposure will incriminate the IDF for not deterring Arab terror and the Shabak for feeding a false narrative to satisfy a political agenda.

Dear Robin,
From the beginning of 2025, zero Palestinians were killed by settlers — every fatal incident was IDF fire. So why does the world hear "settler violence?” Winner exposes the well-financed, well-covered media campaign using edited films that show only one side of every collision — a narrative he was forced to answer for in meetings with U.S. Senators and Congressmen.
In yesterday’s briefing, Brigadier General Res. Erez Winner, chairman of IDSF, reveals what Shin Bet chief David Zini told him directly: the inner circle is just 70-100 young rebels, most not even residents of Judea and Samaria.
He also reveals what happens next: how Shin Bet now detains these young extremists for months without judge or trial — measures previously reserved for active Arab terrorists — why they have no rabbi and rebel against every authority, and why IDF combat motivation is SURGING despite the war.
Here is the recording of yesterday’s briefing.
Our next briefing will be Wednesday, at 10 AM Eastern time and 5 PM in Israel. You can sign up here for our next briefing if you have not already done so. If you have already registered for the briefings, then you do not need to register again.

The Sunni Axis: A New Ring of Fire Around Israel?
By Colonel (res.) Prof. Gabi Siboni and Brig. Gen. (res.) Erez Winner
|
|
|
|
|
A developing alignment among Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia is not a military coalition directed against Israel. But its combination of military power, nuclear capability, financial resources, religious influence, and competition over regional trade routes could evolve into a framework constraining Israel.
