Shabak is digging itself deeper and deeper to support their libel against Hilltop Youth and their community.  

Why are they so stubborn after 5 months of investigation and no evidence other than a forced confession from a tortured suspect whose testimony following torture is not even acceptable according to the law?

I think that Hashem is hardening their heart. Please read Va'eira(Exodus 6:2-9:35) Pharaoh's Heart http://www.aish.com/tp/i/moha/48937417.html

What the powers here desperately want is some conviction to prove that there are Jewish terrorists and a Jewish Terror Organization.  They wish to discredit the settlement enterprise. From there they can then justify the "armed struggle" and the 2 State Solution peace process. Why is the  gov't, left wing judiciary interested in promoting this narrative?  Probably because they like the status quo with themselves in control and need to appease and gain recognition from International communities like the US,  EU and UN and those who push the "Peace process and the 2 State Solution" agenda. 

To help this libel,  they need evidence of real violence,They need something more than just graffiti. Otherwise all the terrible accusations against Israel violent occupation against Palestinians has no leg to stand on. Their goal for now is simple. Let us believe the narrative that Jewish Terrorists exist, This is a gateway to libel all the Settlers, it justifies the BDS campaigns on College Campuses and Food Coops, and maligns them and defames settlers from Judea and Samaria.  Just like Israel destroyed the homes of Arab Terrorists, will it be an excuse for the government of Israel to destroy Jewish homes of these so called Jewish terrorists? They have put them under administrative detention, house arrest, taken away their rights and then in the media they are falsely accused of  violent terror attacks against Arabs, with descriptions of  blood flowing,  no different than what Arabs terrorists have committed  or have attempted to commit against Israel.  The next step is to defame their families and then their communities and then the entire Jewish population.  

So far they have tried very hard to build up their case.  So far this is their narrative. 

There is a Jewish terrorist organization in Judea and Samaria, hilltop youth probably called Givonim. http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=30875 BTW the Givonim  in Tanach were not authentic Jews. They were deceptive Givonites pretending to be Jews. Back to modern times. This terrorist group wants to take revenge on all Arabs. Their goal is to overthrow the government of Israel. They justify their terror activity and usually blame revenge on a recent Jewish terror incident to justify their action. The boys who set Mohammad Kheidar on fire was to avenge the blood of Gilad, Ayal and Naftali. The Duma arson is to avenge the death of Malachi Rosenfeld.  They will spray Hebrew Graffiti at the scene to leave their Jewish mark. All the right wing Rabbi's and community will distance themselves from the "heinous" crime and condemn Jewish Terror saying it is not our way. In the process they assume as a given that the allegations against Jewish youth are true and credible. The alternative, not to condemn will be taken by the gov't as their justification of this "heinous act" because to defend the suspected "Jewish Terrorists" in any way makes them into accomplices and partners in the "crime". Then they too are under observations, subject to false arrests and interrogations etc. There is no serious open minded attempt to find the real perpetrators of the crime and the facts but rather the emphasis is bring evidence to a forgone conclusion even if it means a forced  confession on the part of some of these kids.  

I feel that the goal of the interrogators, be it Shabak or Yaalon or even Netanyahu,  is achieved with or without any conviction. All they want to do is to affirm the narrative that there are Jewish terrorists and they are the most right wing of Jews,Rabbi's etc.   Rabbi's and community leaders, by their distancing and quick condemnations and rebuke of Jewish Terror are making it easy for this false narrative to be solidified.  Once you repeat a false narrative enough times, you begin to believe it. 

So far this has been their case:
  • Arson of a church by Jewish hilltop youth. Incriminating evidence other than ISA (Shabak)?
  • The arson/murder of a homosexual Arab MOhamad Khdeir by Jewish kids  Incriminating evidence other than by ISA (Shabak)
  • The arson of an Arab home killing a family 3 people including a baby in Duma an act done by Jewish terrorists.  Evidence other than by ISA (Shabak)?
  • Baruch Goldstein massacre in the Mosque in Hebron years ago Purim (Out of character, doesnt make sense.  )

I don't believe the narrative that Jews were behind the arson and murder of innocent Arabs.  I think they are being framed for crimes committed by Arabs or else perhaps as in the case of Baruch Goldstein, fought back in self defense.  But these allegations and admissions of guilt is sufficient to bring terror and libel against  the Settler community of Judea and Samaria and accusations of Jewish massacres, barbarity, slaughter, seeing Palestinian blood flow for 70 years in the thousands etc. Also it neutralizes any attempt to stop Arab Terror since both sides are engaged in this unjustified terror activity.

Fwd: Protest Against Shabak Cover-Up of Duma Suspect Torture. Protest This Motzaei Shabbat in Ramot There will be a protest this Motzaei Shabbat, January 9, outside the home of Yoram Cohen, head of the Shabak.

bs"d

UPDATE: PROTEST Of ALLEGED TORTURE OF DUMA SUSPECTS 
THE GOVERNMENT MAY THINK IT'S OVER..... BUT IT'S JUST STARTING!!! 
DON'T LET THE GOVERNMENT GET AWAY WITH TORTURE!!! 
THEY ARE COUNTING ON YOUR SILENCE AND YOUR GOING BACK TO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE.
SURPRISE THEM!!!  
AL TIDOM!!! DO NOT BE SILENT!!!! 

The Shabak interrogations of the Duma suspects are over. A few suspects have confessed to various crimes after weeks of alleged non stop torture. They will now be brought to trial for serious charges including murder, facing life in prison. But the struggle for clarification of what happened in the Shabak interrogation chambers is only beginning. 

The Shabak and the Courts have just issued an official decision prohibiting the publication of the details of the interrogation and torture methods they implemented during the investigation. 

It is time for all who believe that Israel is a democracy to publicly protest the government's transparent attempt at cover-up and to demand a full independent investigation of what happened to the Duma suspects in the Shabak headquarters. This is a struggle for justice for the suspects, and a struggle for the democratic, moral and ethical soul of the state of Israel.  

Among distinguished public figures who are demanding an independent inquiry is Rabbi Aryeh Stern, shlita, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem.  

Protest This Motzaei Shabbat in Ramot

There will be a protest this Motzaei Shabbat, January 9, outside the home of Yoram Cohen, head of the Shabak. Protestors will demand transparency regarding the interrogation methods used in the Duma interrogations. Bring signs" What Are You Hiding?" 

Address of the protest is:  Rechov Yigal Alon  corner Hachoresh Street, Ramot, Jerusalem 

ORGANIZE OFFICIAL BODY TO DEMAND INVESTIGATION

There is a need for an organized group to spearhead the demand for an investigation of the interrogation methods. A group called Meshilut already working on organizing such a campaign. See their website at www.meshilut.org

WRITE TO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

Everyone is encouraged to write to government officials demanding that the state of Israel conduct an investigation of the methods they used to extract confessions before trying the suspects in court. According to David Bedein,  "The Israel official who oversees all Shabak policies is the prime minister of Israel. Send him a short, reasonable letter. Best place to write to Benjamin Netanyahu is: media@pmo.gov.il.

A list of all government officials including President Rivlin, Attorney General Weinstein and members of the Supreme Court to follow.

Rabbi Aryeh Stern urges unbiased investigation into reports of torture

After hearing testimony from family members of the suspects, Rabbi Aryeh Stern says matter is

Flash 90

The Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Rabbi Aryeh Stern, has called for an 'independent inquiry' to ascertain the claims made that Israeli Security Agency (ISA, also known as the Shin Bet or Shabak) tortured suspects in the Duma arson case.

According to the suspects' lawyers, their clients' confessions were elicited by torture and therefore invalid as evidence.

Rabbi Stern met with family members of the suspects, some of whom were released after it was discovered that they had nothing to do with actions in Duma. However, in spite of their innocence, they claim to have undergone very harsh interrogation tactics.   

Rabbi Stern listened to the claims of what their family members went though. During the meetings a member of the legal defense organization Honenu, which is representing the suspects, was present.

Rabbi Stern received testimony and saw documents that outline what the suspects endured. He concluded by saying: "I am very worried by these allegations that torture was used against the accused in the Duma affair. It would be prudent to conduct an independent and unbiased investigation that will clarify whether or not everything that was done, was done according to the law

Duma: Mike Huckabee on Abuse of Power and who oversees the Justice Dept. Just apply his statements re: NSA(National Security Agency) to ISA (Shabak)

bs"d



From Mike Huckabee's book entitled G0D Guns, Grits and Gravy. You can get it gratis with a contribution to his campaign.  I recommend it highly.  I greatly admired Huckabee before reading his book and now even more so. A bit tongue in cheek. 

Page 73: From the Chapter "Can You Hear Me Now?" (THE NSA CAN)

But Americans remotely concerned about the First Amendment need not not worry their little heads about it, because in late May 2013, President Obama asked the Justice Department to "get to the bottom of it." In response, Attorney General Eric Holder did what any other completely objective and honorable public servant would do.  He launched a thorough investigation of himself and found himself to be (surprise) completely blameless.  For President Obama and Eric Holder "getting to the bottom" of something has come to mean burying it at the bottom of the ocean and never letting it see the light of day.  "The most transparent administration in history" isn't, according to its own estimation, answerable to us all. So while the government thinks it's within their power to look through your e-mails, monitor your phone calls, and consider you a criminal for exercising your First Amendment rights, they don't want you asking any questions about what they're doing, why they're doing it, or how they're going about it.
Any questions? 
If so, send them to the NSA. By now they should have amassed all the information in the universe. Let's see if they can actually pull anything useful out of it.

My Response: 


Dear Mr. Kadinsky, amv'sh


I don't believe you did your proper research and as a result have been Choshed Biksherim suspecting innocents. Did Rav Shteinman investigate and find these boys guilty of murdering innocent Arabs.  Who stabbed the picture of the Arab baby?  Are you sure he is not a provocateur? Nobody saw his face.  Why was this video released now when Shabak is under attack for good reason? The wedding was weeks ago. Also, Is stabbing a picture equivalent to stabbing a baby? Do you have past history with proof that any one of these kids was violent, that is, wounded or killed an innocent Arab with premeditated murder?  No you don't.  Not yet.  And I believe you never will. You may get false confessions which brings these kids to self incriminate and become false witnesses against themselves or you may succeed others to become false witnesses against them  due to blackmail, or bribery. These are all terrible sins and miscarriage of justice.  We have here a system of self appointed judges and corruption. Speak to Moshe Eyal of The Legal Forum. Hopefully, this will lead to an investigation of a corrupt Judiciary within the Gov't of Israel. 

Did you know that Damiel Pinner, the guy with a toy gun was released. Did you know that years ago he was walking on the beach and was shot at. He shot in the air in self defense. An Arab claimed he was hit by Daniel Pinners.  Daniel Pinner does not believe in shooting Innocent Arabs.  Neither did he want to be sitting duck when shot at. I don't know if the Arab had conclusive evidence that his wound in his foot came from Daniel Pinner's gun, but halachically i believe one is allowed to defend oneself when attacked.   Pinner has a licensed gun btw.  He too was interrogated by Shabak and you can read about him in Haaretz. Google him.  He is not a dangerous Jewish Terrorist.  He blogs for Arutz7 and is a nice guy.  

If Ami, Mishpacha and Hamodia concluded that these boys were Jewish Terrorists before they were charged and went to trial, then they too will have to face a heavenly court as per why they were Motzei Shem Raa, spreading false and evil reports.  The Miraglim were the Gedolim, leaders of the Dor HaMidbar, the generation in the desert,  and they rationalized their Dibba Raah, evil speech.  Yosef's brothers were all Tzadikim, righteous,  and they too were convinced of their justification of throwing Yosef into the pit.
Do you have to be as frum or more frum then they? Please investigate and write about those who have destroyed Jewish homes in the name of peace, defamed and malligned, spread lies and falsehoods about a Holy Torah community who yearns for the Beit Hamikdash, for Moshiach ben David and  for the Avodah of the Beit Hamikdash.

We all pray for the above as it is in the Liturgy.  Do we daven with real kavana, real devotion as these kids do? Or is our davening mere lip service.

I yearn to yearn like they do as is directed by our prophets, yet I never contemplated taking the law into my own hands, blowing up Al Aqsa, and neither have these kids because it is suicidal, stupid and most importantly not a Torah approach to take the law into your own hands.

But these kids and or their families support building homes in Judea and Samaria and Gush Katif which the govt bulldozed and Israel received rocket fire in return. How should one respond to intolerable acts of a gov't?  Maybe we should ask the founding fathers of America. 

Building is not violence and revenge.  Shabak under someone's orders, tries to discredit and provoke to frame them.  

They have been VICTIMS of violence and revenge for daring to yearn the actualization of our Tefillot of thousands of years but in so doing they put the established Jewish Leadership in a bad light. Can they actually be more authentic and more devout than established Daas Torah?

The Rodef here is Shabak and it all is happening under Netanyahus leadership who talks of a 2 State Solution (Hefer Brisi) and consistently puts his faith in powers other than in the Almighty. 
The govt has betrayed the hilltop youth who live their life according to Emunah Peshuta. Simple and genuine. It is sad to say but so have these Rabbi's.

Please read others analysis of the wedding scene.  Please read all the links in http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2015/12/no-jewish-terrorists-shabak-is-to-blame.html?m=1

Pictures do not tell the whole story. Let us get to the bottom of it. We have lots of questions.

However, let me tell you that this is not just about vilifying hilltop youth.  This is about distancing ourselves from our brothers and sisters in Judea and Samaria who are holding down the fort.  Rabbi Moshe and Leah Goldsmith of Itamar, Shomron came into New York. Did Agudah welcome them into their shuls trying their hardest to bring them Chizuk?  I have no doubt that it would have been greatly appreciated. 

These communities are being attacked physically, existentially in EU, UN Obama, and economically with BDS etc.

What happened to all the rhetoric about Acheinu Kol Beis Yisroel?


The leading Rabbanim have yet to validate settling Judea and Samaria leaving a minority of Jews shouldering the burden of protecting the Land and People of Etetz Yisroel.  These Jews are Gems. So are their kids.  We just are clueless as per how valuable they are and will be shamed when our eyes are opened.

Hakol bechezkat Sumin...

My comments: 

This letter shows what an Achrayus publications such as AMI, Mishpacha and Hamodia has to make sure their news is accurate and not biased. 

The Condemnation of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel and the Rabbinical Council of America as well as any leading Poskim must be retracted. There has been no convictions because of failure to find any evidence of violent vigilante behavior on the part of the Hilltop Youth.

The behavior at the wedding must be investigated before portraying  Hill Top Youth as Jewish terrorists who want to stab innocent Arabs. 

G-d hears their prayers because they are Emet, true,  and sincere.  Karov Hashem Lechol Korav, Lechol asher Yikrauhu Be"emet.  G-d is near to those who call out to Him truthfully.

Subject: Re: Take responsibility for what you publish: not everything is sensationalism!


Good morning,

Thank you for your feedback. Perhaps the headline was a bit sensational but when you look at the covers of Ami, Mishpacha, Hamodia, etc. they also use eye-catching headlines to catch their readers' eyes. Our newspaper is not any less frum than these two publications.

Furthermore, the condemnation against vigilante behavior includes not only the chief rabbinate of Israel and the Rabbinical Council of America, but also leading poskim in Israel including HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman, who declared that "the path of violence and revenge are not our ways and anyone who does such things threatens the lives of the Jewish people." Furthermore, the Shas spiritual leader, Rabbi Shalom Cohen has stated that "a person whose hands are stained with the blood of innocents is liable to the law of rodef."

Our newspaper holds by the concept of Daas Torah, all of our articles are approved by our Rabbinical Consultant, Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld, and we strive to be on the same page as the leading poskim of our time.

Finally, on the subject of torture. We can certainly follow up on this story as it develops. Torture of individuals awaiting trial is obviously a stain on the otherwise good reputation of the Israeli justice system. However, our article dealt with the offensive behavior at the wedding. Whether the arrested were tortured or not, it does not excuse their behavior at the wedding.

Again, thank you for writing to us. Your feedback helps us prove our product.

Good Shabbos,

Sergey Kadinsky

You did a great injustice and evil by publishing your article on so called Jewish extremism. This is not just sensationalism to get people to read your paper. You are writing about boys who are being tortured at this moment, and Hashem will hold you accountable for vilifying them instead of defending them.


Below are various articles on the horrific torture which the Shabak is torturing the so called extremists which your paper vilified.


Please educate yourself on this topic before you publish more horrible articles.

Complaint filed over ISA torture allegations in Duma case

Honenu calls to postpone indictments until an internal investigation can be launched.
By Ido Ben-Porat
First Publish: 12/27/2015, 5:06 PM

Duma arson trial
Duma arson trial
Tomer Neuberg/Flash90
Attorney Adi Keidar from the Honenu legal rights organization filed a complaint to the Israel Security Agency (ISA or Shin Bet)'s complaints department Sunday, demanding an investigation into the torture of suspects in the Duma arson and murder case. 
The ISA department - the ISA Ombudsman for Interrogatees' Complaints - confirmed receiving the complaint, but has not yet announced whether to open an investigation on the matter.
Keidar did not express great hopes in the investigation, since the department is subject to prosecution body, but called to at least delay filing indictments in the case until the complaints have been processed. 
"We hope that the ISA complaint department officials, although they are subject to the prosecution, will carry out an independent investigation with respect to complaints," Keidar said. "We urge the State Attorney and the Attorney General to suspend the indictments until the matter is clarified, because if there is substance to the complaint and according to the Supreme Court ruling, the ISA are those who will stand trial, not the boys who were forced to confess under torture." 
Honenu noted that complaints had been filed against the ISA in the past, but no trials had ever been conducted over those allegations. 
"While in the past there were no complaints of torture but other violations of the law, such as hits, threats, sleep deprivation and interrogation on Shabbat, there unfortunately seems to be no body that really criticized the work of the Shin Bet," it added. 
Ongoing allegations
Outrage over the handling of the Duma case has snowballed after it was revealed the suspects had reportedly been refused basic religious rights such as lighting Hanukkah candles, been banned from seeing their lawyers or family, and that at least one has been denied medical treatment after being beaten during arrest
Damning audio evidence released last week during a court hearing included one suspect testifying he attempted suicide and begging for the ISA to kill him.
Honenu attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir also revealed that the ISA may have sexually abused the main suspect in the case during the course of the interrogation, amid a string of already-damning evidence mounting against the intelligence body. 
Civil rights groups have called for the ISA to be investigated over the torture, which - if proven - may run contrary to Israeli law. In one case, the ISA was found to have illegally detained one of the suspects, a minor, for longer than the 20 days mandated by law.
